CONVERSION ABORT

The falling edge of CS aborts the conversion while BUSY is high and CONVST is high (see Figure 4). The device

outputs 3F80 (hex) to indicate a conversion abort.

DATA READ

Two conditions need to be satisfied for a read operation. Data appears on the D13 through D0 pins (with D13

MSB) when both CS and RD are low. Figure 5 and Figure 6 illustrate the device read operation. The bus is

three-stated if any one of the signals is high.

There are two output formats available. Fourteen bit data appears on the bus during a read operation while

BYTE is low. When BYTE is high, the lower byte (D5 through D0 followed by all zeroes) appears on the data

bus with D5 in the MSB. This feature is useful for interfacing with eight bit microprocessors and microcontrollers.
