description

The TLC1518 and TLC1514 are a family of high-performance, 10-bit, low power, 1.4 µs, CMOS SAR analog-to-digital converters (ADC) which operate from a single 5 V power supply. These devices have three digital inputs and a 3-state output [chip select (CS), serial input-output clock (SCLK), serial data input (SDI), and serial data output (SDO)] that provide a direct 4-wire interface to the serial port of most popular host microprocessors (SPI interface). When interfaced with a DSP, a frame sync (FS) signal is used to indicate the start of a serial data frame.

In addition to a high-speed A/D converter and versatile control capability , these devices have an on-chip analog multiplexer that can select any analog inputs or one of three internal self-test voltages. The sample-and-hold function is automatically started after the fourth SCLK edge (normal sampling) or can be controlled by a special pin, CSTART

, to extend the sampling period (extended sampling). The normal sampling period can also be programmed as short (12 SCLKs) or as long (24 SCLKs) to accommodate faster SCLK operation popular among high-performance signal processors. The TLC1518 and TLC1514 are designed to operate with very low power consumption. The power-saving feature is further enhanced with software/hardware/auto power down modes and programmable conversion speeds. The converter uses the external SCLK as the source of the conversion clock. There is a 4-V internal reference available and an optional external reference can also be used to achieve maximum flexibility.

I Analog signal inputs. The analog inputs are applied to these terminals and are internally

multiplexed. The driving source impedance should be less than or equal to 1 kΩ. For a source impedance greater than 1 kΩ, use the asynchronous conversion start signal CST ART

(CSTAR T low time controls the sampling period) or program long sampling period to increase the sampling time.

CS 16 20 I Chip select. A high-to-low transition on the CS input resets the internal 4-bit counter, enables SDI,

and removes SDO from 3-state within a maximum setup time. SDI is disabled within a setup time after the 4-bit counter counts to 16 (clock edges) or a low-to-high transition of CS

whichever

happens first. SDO is 3-stated after the rising edge of CS

can be used as the FS pin when a dedicated serial port is used.

CSTAR T 10 14 I This terminal controls the start of sampling of the analog input from a selected multiplex channel.

A high-to-low transition starts sampling of the analog input signal. A low-to-high transition puts the S/H in hold mode and starts the conversion. This input is independent from SCLK and works when CS

is high (inactive). The low time of CSTAR T controls the duration of the sampling period of the

converter (extended sampling). Tie this terminal to VCC if not used.

EOC/(INT) 4 4 O End of conversion or interrupt to host processor.

[PROGRAMMED AS EOC]: This output goes from a high-to-low logic level at the end of the sampling period and remains low until the conversion is complete and data are ready for transfer. EOC is used in conversion mode 00 only.

[PROGRAMMED AS INT

]: This pin can also be programmed as an interrupt output signal to the

host processor. The falling edge of INT

indicates data are ready for output. The following CS↓ or

↑ clears INT. The falling edge of INT puts SDO back to 3-state even if CS is still active.

FS 13 17 I DSP frame sync input. Indication of the start of a serial data frame in or out of the device. If FS

remains low at the falling edge of CS

, SDI is not enabled until an active FS is presented. A high-to-low transition on the FS input resets the internal 4-bit counter and enables SDI within a maximum setup time. SDI is disabled within a setup time after the 4-bit counter counts to 16 (clock edges) or a low-to-high transition of CS

whichever happens first. SDO is 3-stated after the 16th bit

is presented. Tie this terminal to VCC if not used.

GND 11 15 I Ground return for the internal circuitry. Unless otherwise noted, all voltage measurements are with

respect to GND.

PWDN 12 16 I Both analog and reference circuits are powered down when this pin is at logic zero. The device can

be restarted by active CS

or CSTART after this pin is pulled back to logic one.

SCLK 3 3 I Input serial clock. This terminal receives the serial SCLK from the host processor. SCLK is used

to clock the input SDI to the input register. It is also used as the source of the conversion clock.

SDI 2 2 I Serial data input. The input data is presented with the MSB (D15) first. The first 4-bit MSBs,

D(15–12) are decoded as one of the 16 commands (12 only for the TLC1514). All trailing blanks are filled with zeros. The configure write commands require an additional 12 bits of data. When FS is not used (FS =1), the first MSB (D15) is expected after the falling edge of CS and is shifted in on the rising edges of SCLK (after CS↓). When FS is used (typical with an active FS from a DSP) the first MSB (D15) is expected after the falling edge of FS and is shifted in on the falling edges of SCLK.

TLC1514 TLC1518

SDO 1 1 O The 3-state serial output for the A/D conversion result. SDO is kept in the high-impedance state

when CS

is high and after the CS falling edge and until the MSB (D15) is presented. The output

format is MSB (D15) first. When FS is not used (FS = 1 at the falling edge of CS), the MSB (D15) is presented to the SDO

pin after the CS

falling edge, and successive data are available at the rising edge of SCLK.

When FS is used (FS = 0 at the falling edge of CS

), the MSB (D15) is presented to SDO after the

falling edge of CS

and FS = 0 is detected. Successive data are available at the falling edge of SCLK.

(This is typically used with an active FS from a DSP.) For conversion and FIFO read cycles, the first 10 bits are the result from the previous conversion

(data) followed by 6 don’t cares. The first four bits from SDO for CFR read cycles should be ignored.

The register content is in the last 12 bits. SDO is 3 stated after the 16th bit. REFM 14 18 I External reference input or internal reference decoupling. REFP 15 19 I External reference input or internal reference decoupling. (Shunt capacitors of 10 µF and 0.1 µF

between REFP and REFM.) The maximum input voltage range is determined by the difference

between the voltage applied to this terminal and the REFM terminal when an external reference

is used. V

detailed description

analog inputs and internal test voltages

The 4/8 analog inputs and three internal test inputs are selected by the analog multiplexer depending on the command entered. The input multiplexer is a break-before-make type to reduce input-to-input noise injection resulting from channel switching.

pseudo-differential/single-ended input

All analog inputs can be programmed as single-ended or pseudo-differential mode. Pseudo-differential mode is enabled by setting CFR.D7 – 1. Only three analog input channels (or seven channels for the TLC1518) are available for TLC1514 since one input (A1 for TLC1514 or A2 for TLC1518) is used as the MINUS input when pseudo-differential mode is used. The minus input pin can have a maximum "0.2 V ripple. This is normally used for ground noise rejection.

converter

The TLC1514/18 uses a 10-bit successive approximation ADC utilizing a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 1 shows a simplified version of the DAC.

The sampling capacitor acquires the signal on Ain during the sampling period. When the conversion process starts, the SAR control logic and charge redistribution DAC are used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge from the sampling capacitor to bring the comparator into a balanced condition. When the comparator is balanced, the conversion is complete and the ADC output code is generated.

start of the cycle:

When FS is not used ( FS = 1 at the falling edge of CS), the falling edge of CS is the start of the cycle. Input data is shifted in on the rising edge, and output data changes on the falling edge of SCLK. This is typically used for an SPI microcontroller, although it can also be used for a DSP.

When FS is used ( FS is an active signal from a DSP), the falling edge of FS is the start of the cycle. Input data is shifted in on the falling edge, and output data changes on the rising edge of SCLK. This is typically used for a TMS320 DSP.

first 4-MSBs: the command register (CMR)

The TLC1514/TLC1518 have a 4-bit command set (see Table 1) plus a 12-bit configuration data field. Most of the commands require only the first 4 MSBs, i.e. without the 12-bit data field.

NOTE:

The device requires a write CFR (configuration register) with 000h data (write A000h to the serial input) at power up to initialize host select mode.

The valid commands are listed in Table 1.

configuration

Configuration data is stored in one 12-bit configuration register (CFR) (see T able 2 for CFR bit definitions). Once configured after first power up, the information is retained in the H/W or S/W power-down state. When the device is being configured, a write CFR cycle is issued by the host processor. This is a 16-bit write. (If the SCLK stops after the first 8 bits are entered, then the next eight bits can be taken after the SCLK is resumed.) The status of the CFR can be read with a read CFR command when the device is programmed for one-shot conversion mode (CFR.D[6,5] = 00).

sampling

The sampling period starts after the first 4 input data are shifted in if they are decoded as one of the conversion commands. These are select analog input (channel 0 through 7) and select test (channel 1 through 3).

normal sampling

When the converter is using normal sampling, the sampling period is programmable. It can be 12 SCLKs (short sampling) or 24 SCLKs (long sampling). Long sampling helps the input analog signal sampled to settle to 0.5 LSB accuracy when input source resistance is high.

extended sampling

An asynchronous (to the SCLK) signal, via dedicated hardware pin CST ART, can be used in order to have total control of the sampling period and the start of a conversion. This is extended sampling. The falling edge of CSTART

is the start of the sampling period. The rising edge of CST ART is the end of the sampling period and

the start of the conversion. This function is useful for an application that requires:

The use of an extended sampling period to accommodate different input source impedance.

The use of a faster I/O clock on the serial port but not enough sampling time is available due to the fixed number of SCLKs. This could be due to a high input source impedance or due to higher MUX ON resistance at lower supply voltage (refer to application information).

Once the conversion is complete, the processor can initiate a read cycle using either the read FIFO command to read the conversion result or simply select the next channel number for conversion. Since the device has a valid conversion result in the output buffer , the conversion result is simply presented at the serial data output. CST AR T

is not valid when CS is active.

TLC1514/TLC1518 conversion modes

The TLC1514 and TLC1518 have four different conversion modes (mode 00, 01, 10, 1 1). The operation of each mode is slightly different, depending on how the converter performs the sampling and which host interface is used. The trigger for a conversion can be an active CST AR T (extended sampling), CS (normal sampling, SPI interface), or FS (normal sampling, TMS320 DSP interface). When FS is used as the trigger, CS can be held active, i.e. CS

does not need to be toggled through the trigger sequence. Different types of triggers should not be mixed throughout the repeat and sweep operations. When CST ART is used as the trigger, the conversion starts on the rising edge of CST ART . The minimum low time for CST AR T is 800 ns. If an active CS or FS is used as the trigger, the conversion is started after the 16th or 28th SCLK edge. Enough time (for conversion) should be allowed between consecutive triggers so that no conversion is terminated prematurely.

one shot mode (mode 00)

One shot mode (mode 00) does not use the FIFO, and the EOC is generated as the conversion is in progress (or INT is generated after the conversion is done).

repeat mode (mode 01)

Repeat mode (mode 01) uses the FIFO. Once the programmed FIFO threshold is reached, the FIFO must be read, or the data is lost and the sequence starts over again. This allows the host to set up the converter and continue monitoring a fixed input and come back to get a set of samples when preferred. The first conversion must start with a select command so an analog input channel can be selected.

sweep mode (mode 10)

Sweep mode (mode 10) also uses the FIFO. Once it is programmed in this mode, all of the channels listed in the selected sweep sequence are visited in sequence. The results are converted and stored in the FIFO. This sweep sequence may not be completed if the FIFO threshold is reached before the list is completed. This allows the system designer to change the sweep sequence length. Once the FIFO has reached its programmed threshold, an interrupt (INT) is generated. The host must issue a read FIFO command to read and clear the FIFO before the next sweep can start.

TLC1514/TLC1518 conversion modes (continued)

repeat sweep mode (mode 11)

Repeat sweep mode (mode 11) works the same way as mode 10 except the operation has an option to continue even if the FIFO threshold is reached. Once the FIFO has reached its programmed threshold, an interrupt (INT) is generated. Then two things may happen:

1. The host may choose to act on it (read the FIFO) or ignore it. If the next cycle is a read FIFO cycle, all of the data stored in the FIFO is retained until it has been read in order.

2. If the next cycle is not a read FIFO cycle, or another CST ART is generated, all of the content stored in the FIFO is cleared before the next conversion result is stored in the FIFO, and the sweep is continued.

read cycle (read FIFO or read CFR) (continued)

FIFO read cycle

The first command in the active cycle after INT is generated, if the FIFO is used, is assumed as the FIFO read command. The first FIFO content is output immediately before the command is decoded. If this command is not a FIFO read, then the output is terminated but the first data in the FIFO is retained until a valid FIFO read command is decoded. Use of more layers of the FIFO reduces the time taken to read multiple data. This is because the read cycle does not generate EOC or INT nor does it carry out any conversion.
