Data Sheet - Detailed Description
Channel Counter Conversion (SEQ = 1, SHADOW = 1)
Figure 30 shows how a sequence of consecutive channels can be converted from without having to program the
shadow register or write to the part on each serial transfer. To exit this mode of operation and revert back to the normal
mode of operation of a multi-channel ADC (as outlined in Figure 29), verify bit WRITE (page 14) = 1 and bits SEQ and
SHADOW = 0 on the next serial transfer.

*The binary selected channel number
will determine the last channel used for
conversion. e.g.: 0101 = 5 => channel
0:5 will be used for conversion.
Use ADDR3:ADDR0 (see Table 5 on page 14)

Serial Interface
Figure 31 shows the detailed timing diagram for serial interfacing to the AS1543/44. The serial clock provides the con-
version clock and also controls the transfer of information to and from the AS1543/44 during each conversion.
