N.C. No Connection. No internal connection.
55SCLK
Serial Clock Input. Clocks data in and out of serial interface. In external clock mode, SCLK also
sets the conversion speed.
66 CS
Active-Low Chip-Select Input. Data is not clocked into DIN unless CS is low. When CS is high,
DOUT is high impedance.
79 DIN Serial Data Input. Data is clocked in on the rising edge of SCLK.
810
SSTRB
Serial Strobe Output. In internal clock mode, SSTRB goes low after the falling edge of the eighth
SCLK and returns high when the conversion is done. In external clock mode, SSTRB pulses high
for one clock period before the MSB decision. High impedance when CS is high in external
clock mode.
10
12 DOUT
Serial Data Output. Data is clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK. High impedance when CS is
high.
11
13 SHDN Shutdown Input. When low, device is in FULLPD mode. Connect high for normal operation.
