The when processing a differential input signal. VCM pin must be decoupled to ground by a 0.1 μF capacitor, as described in the Applications Information section. Place this The clock signal alternatively switches the input between sample decoupling capacitor close to the pin to minimize the series mode and hold mode (see the configuration shown in Figure 46). resistance and inductance between the part and this capacitor. When the input is switched into sample mode, the signal source must be capable of charging the sampling capacitors and settling within ½ clock cycle. A small resistor in series with each input can help reduce the peak transient current required from the output stage of the driving source. A shunt capacitor can be placed across the inputs to provide dynamic charging currents. This passive network creates a low-pass filter at the ADC input; therefore, the precise values are dependent on the application.

The CSB can stall high between bytes to allow for additional external timing. When CSB is tied high, SPI functions are placed in a high impedance mode. This mode turns on any SPI pin secondary functions. During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted.
