SCANCLK Signal
SCANCLK is an output-only signal that generates a pulse with the leading
edge occurring approximately 50 to 100 ns after an A/D conversion begins.
The polarity of this output is software-selectable, but is typically
configured so that a low-to-high leading edge can clock external analog
input multiplexers indicating when the input signal has been sampled and
can be removed. This signal has a 400 to 500 ns pulse width and is
software-enabled. Figure 4-19 shows the timing for the SCANCLK signal.

EXTSTROBE* Signal
EXTSTROBE* is an output-only signal that generates either a single pulse
or a sequence of eight pulses in the hardware-strobe mode. An external
device can use this signal to latch signals or to trigger events. In the
single-pulse mode, software controls the level of the EXTSTROBE*
signal. A 10
