25uS, as well as an even faster version ("EF" type) with a conversion time of 10uS. The ADC 521 is a variant of the ADC 520 which has analogue switches for each channel to permit the gain of the Sample-and-Hold amplifier to be changed in a "times 1"...

Doc: UM0520 Issue: 3.0 Date: 07/01/2002 Page: Author: PJM 4.3 Test Mode For testing purposes, all data registers can be written at the same time with F(16) A(15). They can all then be read back individually by F(0) A(0-3) to check all the data paths.
Doc: UM0520 Issue: 3.0 Date: 07/01/2002 Page: Author: PJM DATA FORMAT The ADC and the Comparator both use straight Binary or Offset Binary, depending whether the unit is in Unipolar or Bipolar Mode. Note - 0-20V Unipolar is NOT available. Standard input ranges are +/-5V, 0-10V, +/-10V.
