Hello Jim,

It was not directly the answer that I expected for my question. I have 
studied the schematics of the TS-7200 as well the MAX 192 datasheet, 
from there it should be possibly to understand how the optional mounted 
MAX192 would work. The datasheet describes that the HBEN is used to 
select bits 8 to 11, however when this is not wired in the schematics, 
it this wired on the board or is there any extention to the chip and 
datasheet used?

Then I might comment your answer. I have checked the ts website, 
www.embeddedarm.com, and they have demo code for the internal adc. If 
you are aware of the TS code for Optional mounted MAX 197, I would to be 
pleased for that link or information. What I found on TS page is: EP9301 
on-board A/D converter sample code 
<http://www.embeddedarm.com/downloads/samplecode/adc_72xx.tar.gz> 
(04-17-2006)  however that does not help me in the end to get all 12 
bits of the external ADC.

And yes, I have read your code on your page. You maybe can explain how 
you get the complete 12 bits from the optional max197 with just one 
read, when the chip has only 8 bits ports with no HBEN. It the Cirrus 
EP93xx doing some stuff in between or anything that I missunderstood? 
You say in your code, adc_read that the value is: sv=*adc_io_read; where 
the address point at adc_io_read=(unsigned short *)IOMMAP(0x10c00000). 
However reading this once would give the 8 bit of max197? The difference 
is that the internal ADC is possible to have all 12 bits read when it is 
interfaced.

So question remains, what is done with HBEN on the external mouted 
MAX197, to get all 12 bits?
