Data Format
The output data format can be either a complete parallel
load for 16-bit microprocessors or a two byte load for
8-bit microprocessors. Data is always right justified (i.e.,
LSB is the most right-hand bit in a 16-bit word). For a two
byte read, only data outputs D7. . . D0/8 are used. Byte
selection is governed by the HBEN input which controls an
internal digital multiplexer. This multiplexes the 12 bits of
conversion data onto the lower D7. . . D0/8 outputs
(4MSBs or 8LSBs) where it can be read in two read cycles.
The 4MSBs always appear on D11 . . . D8 whenever the
three-state output drives are turned on.
Slow Memory Mode, Parallel Read (HBEN = Low)
Figure 14 and Table 2 show the timing diagram and data
bus status for Slow Memory Mode, Parallel Read. CS and
RD going low triggers a conversion and the LTC1272
acknowledges by taking BUSY low. Data from the previous
conversion appears on the three-state data outputs. BUSY
returns high at the end of conversion when the output
latches have been updated and the conversion result is
placed on data outputs D11 . . . D0/8.
Slow Memory Mode, Two Byte Read
For a two byte read, only 8 data outputs D7 . . . D0/8 are
used. Conversion start procedure and data output status
for the first read operation is identical to Slow Memory
Mode, Parallel Read. See Figure 15 timing diagram and
Table 3 data bus status. At the end of conversion the low
data byte (DB7 . . . DB0) is read from the ADC. A second
Read operation with HBEN high, places the high byte on
data outputs D3/11 . . . D0/8 and disables conversion start.
Note the 4MSBs appear on data outputs D11 . . . D8 during
the two Read operations above.
ROM Mode, Parallel Read (HBEN = Low)
The ROM Mode avoids placing a microprocessor into a
Wait state. A conversion is started with a Read operation
and the 12 bits of data from the previous conversion is
available on data outputs D11 . . . D0/8 (see Figure 16 and
Table 4). This data may be disregarded if not required. A
second Read operation reads the new data (DB11 . . . DB0)
and starts another conversion. A delay at least as long as
the LTC1272 conversion time plus the 1µs minimum delay
between conversions must be allowed between Read
operations.
