six bits are always 0.
As long as the voltage on the selected input channels (IN

) remains between –0.3V and V

. For differential input voltages
greater than +FS, the conversion result is clamped to the
value corresponding to +FS. For differential input voltages
below –FS, the conversion result is clamped to the value
–FS – 1LSB.

INPUT DATA FORMAT
The LTC2489 serial input is 8 bits long and is written into
the device in one 8-bit word. SGL, ODD, A2, A1, A0 are
used to select the input channel.
After power-up, the device initiates an internal reset cycle
which sets the input channel to CH0-CH1 (IN
+
= CH0,
IN
–
= CH1). The first conversion automatically begins
at power-up using this default input channel. Once the

conversion is complete, a new channel may be written
into the device.
The first three bits of the input word consist of two pre-
amble bits and one enable bit. These three bits are used
to enable the input channel selection. Valid settings for
these three bits are 000, 100, and 101. Other combinations
should be avoided.
If the first three bits are 000 or 100, the following data
is ignored (don’t care) and the previously selected input
channel remains valid for the next conversion.
If the first three bits shifted into the device are 101, then
the next five bits select the input channel for the next
conversion cycle (see Table 3).
