DATA FORMAT
The 16-bit output data are in binary twos
complement format as shown in Table 2. When the
input is positive out-of-range, exceeding the positive
full-scale value of +0.94V
REF
, the output clips to all
7FFFh and the OTR output goes high.
Likewise, when the input is negative out-of-range by
going below the negative full-scale value
of 0.94V
REF
, the output clips to 8000h and the OTR
output goes high. The OTR remains high while the
input signal is out-of-range.

and lower amplitude inputs, more CLK jitter can be
tolerated. In determining the allowable clock source
jitter, select the worst-case input (highest frequency,
largest amplitude) that will be seen in the application.
