A sample program written in Microsoft QuickBasic is
shown on the next page The program prompts for data
mode select instruction to be sent to the A D This can be
found from the Mode Programming table shown earlier The
data should be entered in ‘‘1’’s and ‘‘0’’s as shown in the
table with DI0 first Next the program prompts for the num-
ber of SCLKs required for the programmed mode select in-
struction For instance to send all ‘‘0’’s to the A D selects
CH0 as the ainput CH1 as the binput 12-bit conversion
and 13-bit MSB first data output format (if the sign bit was
not turned off by a previous instruction) This would require
13 SCLK periods since the output data format is 13 bits The
part powers up with No Auto Cal No Auto Zero 10 CCLK
Acquisition Time 12-bit conversion data out with sign pow-
er up 12- or 13-bit MSB first and user mode Auto Cal Auto
Zero
Power Up and Power Down instructions do not
change these default settings The following power up se-
quence should be followed
1 Run the program
2 Prior to responding to the prompt apply the power to the
ADC12038
3 Respond to the program prompts
It is recommended that the first instruction issued to the
ADC12038 be Auto Cal (see Section 1 1)
