The digital output code is proportional to the input
voltage and PGA settings. The output data format is a
binary two’s complement. With this code scheme, the
MSB can be considered a sign indicator. When the
MSB is a logic ‘0’, the input is positive. When the MSB
is a logic ‘1’, the input is negative. The following is an
example of the output code:
a.
b.
c.
The MSB (sign bit) is always transmitted first through
the I
conversion is 18, 16, 14, or 12 bits depending on the
conversion rate selection bit settings by the user.
The output codes will not roll-over even if the input
voltage exceeds the maximum input range. In this
case, the code will be locked at 0111...11 for all
voltages greater than (V
1000...00 for voltages less than -V
