PGA GAIN
The PGA gain is determined by the Gain Select portion (bits
8 and 9) in the SER
IN
word (see Figure 2). There is one gain
input that sets the same gain for all three PGAs. The gain
values and allowable full scale inputs are shown in Table II.
For channels one and two the PGAs set the gain for all three
analog inputs. For the third channel, only the V
3-1
input is
gain changed by the PGA. Inputs V
3-2
, V
3-3
and V
3-4
are
connected to ADC
3
at a fixed gain of 1V/V regardless of the
Gain Select value.

/ADC

and PGA

/ADC

,
respectively. Note that the inputs to SH
6
and SH
7
are
determined by previous Input Select values (see Table IV).
Thus, to properly convert the output of one of the asynchro-
nous sample holds it is first necessary to choose its input
with a previous conversion cycle. Also, the output of SH
6
or
SH
7
will only be converted if ASH goes low before the
CONV command is received.

inputs to PGA

and PGA

are undefined.
CONVERSIONS FROM THE
ASYNCHRONOUS SAMPLE HOLDS
Decoding the Input Select value also determines which
inputs are applied to the two asynchronously controlled
sample holds SH
6
and SH
7
. (See Table IV.) One of the three
possible inputs is selected by the Input Select value being 4,
5, or 6.
The “No Effect” states indicate that these values of Input
Select have no effect on the multiplexers at the input of SH
6
and SH
7
. When one of the “No Effect” values of Input Select
is presented, the multiplexers will not be changed (i.e., their
condition is determined by the last 4, 5, or 6 value of Input
Select that existed prior to the “No Effect” state).
Note that Input Select = 1
H
presents the output of SH
6
and
SH
7
(1ASH
X
and 2ASH
X
) to PGA
1
/ADC
l
and PGA
2
/ADC
2
,
respectively (see Table III). Therefore, in order to properly
convert the asynchronous sampled signals, it is first neces-
sary to choose an input signal (Input Select equal 5 or 6 in
Table IV) with one load/convert cycle and then convert the
sample hold output (Input Select = 4 in Table III) in a
following conversion cycle.

INPUT MULTIPLEXER AND
SAMPLE HOLD SELECTION
The Input Select portion of the SER
IN
word (bits 10, 11 and
12) (see Figure 2) are decoded and determine the
open/closed condition of the multiplexer switches. This in
turn determines which input signals are connected to the
sample holds and which sample holds are connected to the
PGAs/ADCs.
