DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH
With either CS or CLK or both held high, the AD526 gain state
will remain constant regardless of the transitions at the A0, A1,
A2 or B inputs. However, high speed logic transitions will un-
avoidably feed through to the analog circuitry within the AD526
causing spikes to occur at the signal output.
This feedthrough effect can be completely eliminated by operat-
ing the AD526 in the transparent mode and latching the gain
code in an external bank of latches (Figure 36).
To operate the AD526 using serial inputs, the configuration
shown in Figure 36 can be used with the 74LS174 replaced by a
serial-in/parallel-out latch, such as the 54LS594.
