State 3: Initiate Conversion
Once the channel assignment is complete, the device is
ready to begin a conversion. A conversion is initiated by
writing Start (B7 = 1) and Done (B6 = 0) followed by the
desired input channel (B4 – B0) into RAM memory loca-
tion 0x000 (see Tables 6 and 7). It is possible to initiate
a measurement cycle on multiple channels by setting the
channel selection bits (B4 to B0) to 00000; see the Running
Conversions Consecutively on Multiple Channels section
of the data sheet.

or sense resistor channels, pointers to memory locations of
custom linearization data, sense resistor values and diode
ideality factors. Also included in this data are, if applicable, the
excitation current level, single-ended/differential input mode,
as well as sensor specific controls. Separate detailed operation
sections for thermocouples, RTDs, diodes, thermistors, and
sense resistors describe the assignment data associated with
each sensor type in more detail. The LTC2983 demonstration
