If the CLIP input is at logic low, the overrange indicator is disabled
and the AD7482 is able to achieve output codes outside the
nominal 12-bit range of 0 to 4095 (s
ee Figure 6). D12 acts as an
indicator that the ADC is outside this nominal range. If the ADC is
outside this nominal range on the negative side, the ADC outputs a
twos complement code and if the ADC is outside the range on the
positive side, the ADC outputs a straight binary code as normal.
If D12 is Logic 1, D11 indicates if the ADC is out of range on
the positive or negative side. If D11 is Logic 1, the ADC is outside
the nominal range on the negative side and the output code is a
13-bit twos complement number (a negative number). If D11 is
Logic 0, the ADC is outside the nominal range on the positive side
and the output code is a 13-bit straight binary code, se

Values from 327 to +327 can be written to the offset register.
These values correspond to an offset of ±200 mV. A write to the
offset register is performed by writing a 13-bit word to the part
as detailed in the Parallel Interface section. The 10 LSBs of the
13-bit word contain the offset value, whereas the 3 MSBs must
be set to 0. Failure to write 0s to the 3 MSBs may result in the
incorrect operation of the device.
PARALLEL INTERFACE
The AD7482 features two parallel interfacing modes. These
modes are selected by the mode pins (see
Table 8).

In Parallel Mode 1, the data in the output register is updated on
the rising edge of BUSY at the end of a conversion and is available
for reading almost immediately afterward. Using this mode,
throughput rates of up to 2.5 MSPS can be achieved. This mode
is to be used if the conversion data is required immediately after
the conversion is completed. An example where this may be of use
is if the AD7482 is operating at much lower throughput rates in
conjunction with the nap mode (for power saving reasons), and
the input signal is being compared with set limits within the DSP or
other controller. If the limits are exceeded, the ADC is brought
immediately into full power operation and commences sampling at
full speed

CONVST. This mode can be used
where a single sample delay is not vital to the system operation,
and conversion speeds of greater than 2.5 MSPS are desired. For
example, this may occur in a system where a large amount of
samples are taken at high speed before an FFT is performed for
frequency analysis of the input signa
