LM12434LM12 L 438 12-Bit a Sign Data Acquisition
System with Serial IO and Self-Calibration
General Description
The LM12434 and LM12 L 438 are highly integrated Data
Acquisition Systems Operating on 3V to 5V they combine a
fully-differential self-calibrating (correcting linearity and zero
errors) 13-bit (12-bit a sign) analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) and sample-and-hold (SH) with extensive analog
and digital functionality Up to 32 consecutive conversions
using two’s complement format can be stored in an internal
32-word (16-bit wide) FIFO data buffer An internal 8-word
instruction RAM can store the conversion sequence for up
to eight acquisitions through the LM12 L 438’s eight-input
multiplexer The LM12434 has a four-channel multiplexer a
differential multiplexer output and a differential SH input
The LM12434 and LM12 L 438 can also operate with 8-bit
a
sign resolution and in a supervisory ‘‘watchdog’’ mode
that compares an input signal against two programmable
limits
Acquisition times and conversion rates are programmable
through the use of internal clock-driven timers The differen-
tial reference voltage inputs can be externally driven for ab-
solute or ratiometric operation
All registers RAM and FIFO are directly accessible through
the high speed and flexible serial IO interface bus The
serial interface bus is user selectable to interface with the
following protocols with zero glue logic
