LTC2378-16
pin FuncTions
CHAIN ꢁPin 1x: Chain Mode Selector Pin. When low, the
LTC2378-16 operates in normal mode and the RDL/SDꢁ
input pin functions to enable or disable SDO. When high,
the LTC2378-16 operates in chain mode and the RDL/SDꢁ
pin functions as SDꢁ, the daisy-chain serial data input.
ꢀUSY ꢁPin 11x: ꢀUSY ꢁndicator. Goes high at the start of
a new conversion and returns low when the conversion
has finished. Logic levels are determined by ±V .
DD
RD5/SDI ꢁPin 12x: When CHAꢁI is low, the part is in nor-
mal mode and the pin is treated as a bus enabling input.
When CHAꢁI is high, the part is in chain mode and the
pin is treated as a serial data input pin where data from
another ADC in the daisy-chain is input. Logic levels are
