†Notice: Stresses above those listed under “Maximum Rat-

ings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a

stress rating only and functional operation of the device at

those or any other conditions above those indicated in the

operational listings of this specification is not implied.

Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods

may affect device reliability

Note

1:

Any input voltage below or greater than this voltage causes leakage current through the ESD diodes at the input pins.

This parameter is ensured by characterization and not 100% tested.

2:

This input impedance is due to 3.2 pF internal input sampling capacitor.

3:

The total conversion speed includes auto-calibration of offset and gain.

4:

INL is the difference between the endpoints line and the measured code at the center of the quantization band.

5:

6:

Full Scale Range (FSR) = 2 x 2.048/PGA = 4.096/PGA.

7:

This parameter is ensured by characterization and not 100% tested.

8:

This parameter is ensured by design and not 100% tested.
