As stated before, the five lower bits of the output data will
remain constant for 4 clock cycles with every generation of the
calibration pulse. Since the auto calibration pulses are
generated asynchronously, this may create problems in certain
applications.
External Calibration Function
To avoid the asynchronous data fixation due to the calibration
process, you can disable the internal auto calibration function
and use an external calibration pulse which is synchronized
with the analog input. Input the external calibration pulse to the
CAL pin (pin 14) and tie the SEL pin (pin 17) to AGND. When
digitizing a video signal, for example, you can synchronize the
external calibration pulses with the V-sync or H-sync cycles of
the video signal to avoid losing any data during the video signal
cycles. See figure 6a. and 6b.

NOTES:
1. For using Start-up calibration and
External CAL Pulse Mode, close
JP1 and JP4, and open JP2 and
JP3.
2. For using Start-up calibration and
Internal Auto-calibration Mode, close
JP2 and JP3, and open JP1 and
JP3.
3. For using Start-up calibration Mode
only, close JP2 and JP4, and open
JP1 and JP3.
