Therefore the processor port line must be switched to an
input before this happens, to avoid a conflict.
In the Typical Applications section, there is an example of
interfacing the LTC1098(L) with DIN and DOUT tied to-
gether to the Intel 8051 MPU.
ACHIEVING MICROPOWER PERFORMANCE
With typical operating currents of 40µA and automatic
shutdown between conversions, the LTC1096/LTC1098
achieves extremely low power consumption over a wide
range of sample rates (see Figure 4). In systems that
convert continuously, the LTC1096/LTC1098 will draw its

normal operating power continuously. Figure 5 shows
that the typical current varies from 40µA at clock rates
below 50kHz to 100µA at 500kHz. Several things must
be taken into account to achieve such a low power
consumption.

Figures 1 and 2 show the operating sequence of the
LTC1096/LTC1098. The converter draws power when the
CS pin is low and powers itself down when that pin is high.
If the CS pin is not taken to ground when it is low and not
taken to supply voltage when it is high, the input buffers of
