PIN FUNCTIONS
UUU
V
CC
(Pin 1): Positive Supply, 3V. Bypass to GND (10µF
tantalum in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic).
A
IN
(Pin 2): Analog Input. 0V to 2.048V.
V
REF
(Pin 3): 1.2V Reference Output. Bypass to GND
(10µF tantalum in parallel with 0.1µF ceramic).
GND (Pin 4): Ground. GND should be tied directly to an
analog ground plane.
D
OUT
(Pin 5): The A/D conversion result is shifted out from
this pin.

TEST CIRCUITS
CLK (Pin 6): Clock. This clock synchronizes the serial data
transfer. A minimum CLK pulse of 60ns signals the ADC to
wake up from Nap or Sleep mode.
CONV (Pin 7): Conversion Start Signal. This active high
signal starts a conversion on its rising edge. Keeping CLK
low and pulsing CONV two/four times will put the ADC into
Nap/Sleep mode.
SHDN (Pin 8): Shutdown Input. Pull this pin Low to put the
ADC in Shutdown mode and save power (REFRDY will go
Low). The device will draw 4.5µA in this mode.
