LTC1197/LTC1197L
LTC1199/LTC1199L
Dummy Bit
The dummy bit is a placeholder that extends the acquisi-
tion time of the ADC. This bit can be either high or low and
does not affect the conversion of the ADC.
Operation with D
IN
and D
OUT
Tied Together
The LTC1199/LTC1199L can be operated with D
IN
and
D
OUT
tied together. This eliminates one of the lines
required to communicate to the microprocessor (MPU).
Data is transmitted in both directions on a single wire. The
processor pin connected to this data line should be
configurable as either an input or an output. The LTC1199/
LTC1199L will take control of the data line and drive it low
on the 4th falling CLK edge after the start bit is received
(see Figure 3). Therefore the processor port line must be
switched to an input before this happens to avoid a
conflict.
In the Typical Applications section, there is an example of
interfacing the LTC1199/LTC1199L with D
IN
and D
OUT
tied together to the Intel 8051 MPU.
Unipolar Transfer Curve
The LTC1197/LTC1197L/LTC1199/LTC1199L are perma-
nently configured for unipolar only. The input span and
code assignment for this conversion type are shown in the
following figures for a 5V reference.

ACHIEVING MICROPOWER PERFORMANCE
With typical operating currents of 5mA (LTC1197/
LTC1199) at 5V and 0.8mA (LTC1197L/LTC1199L) at
2.7V it is possible for these ADCs to achieve true
micropower performance by taking advantage of the
automatic shutdown between conversions. In systems
