LTC1098/LTC1098L
Data Transfer
The CLK synchronizes the data transfer with each bit being
transmitted on the falling CLK edge and captured on the
rising CLK edge in both transmitting and receiving sys-
tems. The LTC1098(L) first receives input data and then
transmits back the A/D conversion result (half duplex).
Because of the half duplex operation, D
IN
and D
OUT
may be
tied together allowing transmission over just three wires:
CS, CLK and DATA (D
IN
/D
OUT
).
Data transfer is initiated by a falling chip select (CS) signal.
After CS falls the LTC1098(L) looks for a start bit. After the
start bit is received, the 3-bit input word is shifted into the
D
IN
input which configures the LTC1098(L) and starts the
conversion. After one null bit, the result of the conversion

is output on the D

line. At the end of the data exchange
CS should be brought high. This resets the LTC1098(L) in
preparation for the next data exchange.
The LTC1096(L) does not require a configuration input
word and has no D
IN
pin. A falling CS initiates data transfer
as shown in the LTC1096(L) operating sequence. After CS
falls, the first CLK pulse enables D
OUT
. After one null bit,
