TIMING
As shown in Figure 1, the leading edge ("0" to "1" transition)
of the convert command pulse sets the STATUS and MSB out-
puts to the "1" state, and the outputs of bits 2-12 to "0". The
conversion program begins on the trailing edge of the convert
command pulse with the starting of the internal clock. The bit
decisions are made on successive "1" to "0" clock pulse transi-

The ADC-12QZ was designed specifically to make it easy to
use. It contains its own temperature-compensated precision
voltage reference, and any of four input ranges (0 to +10V,
:tl0V, 0 to +5V, :t5V) can be selected with jumpers and con-
nections at the module terminals. If a high input impedance is
required, the ADC-12QZ can be special ordered with an in-
put buffer.
Binary output coding is used for unipolar operation, but for
operation in the bipolar mode, the parallel output data can be
either two's complement or offset binary at the user's option.
The two codes differ only in that the MSB output (pin 72) is
used for offset binary coding, while its complement, MSB (pin
70) is used for two's complement coding. STATUS, which in-
dicates when the parallel output data is valid, and its comple-
ment, STATUS, are both available.
the conversion, the STATUS output returns to zero, signaling
that the parallel output data is valid.
