The input switch switches CSAMPLE to The LTC1282 uses a successive approximation and an ground, injecting the analog input charge to the summing internal sample-and-hold circuitry to convert an analog junction. This input charge is successively compared with signal to a 12-bit parallel or 2-byte output. The ADC is the binary-weighted charges supplied by the capacitive complete with a precision reference and an internal clock. DAC. Bit decisions are made by the high speed comparator.

Once a conversion cycle has begun SAMPLE SAMPLE A – it cannot be restarted. IN HOLD During conversion, the internal 12-bit capacitive DAC + output is sequenced by the SAR from the most significant CDAC COMPARATOR DAC bit (MSB) to the least significant bit (LSB). Referring to VDAC S Figure 1, the AIN input connects to the sample-and-hold A capacitor during the sample phase, and the comparator R offset is nulled by the feedback switch. In this sample phase, a minimum delay of 1.14µs will provide enough 12-BIT LATCH LTC1282 • F01 time for the sample-and-hold capacitor to acquire the Figure 1. A analog signal.
