• Manufacturer Part Number: adc0833ccj
• Description: 8-bit Serial I/o A/d Converter With 4-channel Multiplexer
• Manufacturer: National Semiconductor Corporation

Functional Description
4 When the start bit has been shifted into the start location
of the MUX register the input channel has been assigned
and a conversion is about to begin An interval of
period (where nothing happens) is automatically inserted to
allow the selected MUX channel to settle The SAR status
line goes high at this time to signal that a conversion is now
in progress and the DI line is disabled (it no longer accepts
data)
5 The data out (DO) line now comes out of TRI-STATE and
provides a leading zero for this one clock period of MUX
settling time
6 When the conversion begins the output of the SAR com-
parator which indicates whether the analog input is greater
than (high) or less than (low) each successive voltage from
the internal resistor ladder appears at the DO line on each
falling edge of the clock This data is the result of the con-
version being shifted out (with the MSB coming first) and
can be read by the processor immediately
7 After 8 clock periods the conversion is completed The
SAR status line returns low to indicate this
later
8 If the programmer prefers the data can be read in an LSB
first format All 8 bits of the result are stored in an output
shift register The conversion result LSB first is automati-
cally shifted out the DO line after the MSB first data stream
The DO line then goes low and stays low until CS is re-
turned high
9 All internal registers are cleared when the CS line is high
If another conversion is desired CS must make a high to
low transition followed by address information
The DI and DO lines can be tied together and controlled
through a bidirectional processor I O bit with one wire This
is possible because the DI input is only ‘‘looked-at’’ during
the MUX addressing interval while the DO line is still in a
high impedance state
