The A = 25°C. deviation is measured from the center of the quantization band. Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life of a device may be impaired. Note 8: Bipolar offset is the offset voltage measured from – 1/2LSB when the output code flickers between 0000 0000 0000 and 1111 1111 1111. Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to ground with DGND and AGND wired together (unless otherwise noted). Note 9: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test. Note 3: When these pin voltages are taken below V Note 10: Recommended operating conditions. SS (ground for unipolar mode) or above VDD, they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product Note 11: AIN must not exceed VDD or fall below VSS by more than 50mV for can handle input currents greater than 60mA below VSS (ground for specified accuracy. Therefore the minimum supply voltage for the unipolar unipolar mode) or above VDD without latch-up. mode is 4.95V. The minimum for the bipolar mode is 4.75V, – 2.45V. Note 4: When these pin voltages are taken below VSS (ground for unipolar Note 12: The falling CONVST edge starts a conversion. If CONVST returns mode), they will be clamped by internal diodes. This product can handle high at a bit decision point during the conversion it can create small errors. input currents greater than 60mA below VSS (ground for unipolar mode) For best performance ensure that CONVST returns high either within 120ns without latch-up. These pins are not clamped to VDD. after conversion start (i.e., before the first bit decision) or after BUSY rises Note 5: AVDD = DVDD = VDD = 5V, (VSS = – 5V for bipolar mode), fSAMPLE = (i.e., after the last bit test).

Note 6: Linearity, offset and full-scale specifications apply for unipolar and bipolar modes.
