description

The TLC540 and TLC541 are CMOS A/D
converters built around an 8-bit switched­capacitor successive-approximation A/D
converters. They are designed for serial interface
to a microprocessor or peripheral via a 3-state
output with up to four control inputs, including
independent SYSTEM CLOCK, I/O CLOCK, chip
select (CS

), and ADDRESS INPUT. A 4-MHz
system clock for the TLC540 and a 2.1-MHz
system clock for the TLC541 with a design that
includes simultaneous read/write operation allow high-speed data transfers and sample rates of up to
75,180samples per second for the TLC540 and 40,000 samples per second for the TLC541. In addition to the
high-speed converter and versatile control logic, there is an on-chip 12-channel analog multiplexer that can be
used to sample any one of 11 inputs or an internal self-test voltage, and a sample-and-hold that can operate
automatically or under microprocessor control. Detailed information on interfacing to most popular
microprocessors is readily available from the factory.

The converters incorporated in the TLC540 and TLC541 feature differential high-impedance reference inputs
that facilitate ratiometric conversion, scaling, and analog circuitry isolation from logic and supply noises. A
switched-capacitor design allows low-error (± 0.5 LSB) conversion in 9 µs for the TLC540 and 17 µs for the
TLC541 over the full operating temperature range.

The TLC540I and TLC541I are characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.The TLC541M is characterized
for operation from –55°C to 125°C.

Previous Conversion Data A

NOTES: A. The conversion cycle, which requires 36 system clock periods, is initiated on the 8th falling edge of I/O CLOCK after CS goes low

for the channel whose address exists in memory at that time. If CS

is kept low during conversion, I/O CLOCK must remain low

for at least 36 system clock cycles to allow conversion to be completed.

B. The most significant bit (MSB) will automatically be placed on the DAT A OUT bus after CS

is brought low. The remaining seven

bits (A6–A0) will be clocked out on the first seven I/O CLOCK falling edges.

C. To minimize errors caused by noise at CS

, the internal circuitry waits for three system clock cycles (or less) after a chip select
falling edge is detected before responding to control input signals. Therefore, no attempt should be made to clock-in address data
until the minimum chip-select setup time has elapsed.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NOTES: 2. Analog input voltages greater than that applied to REF + convert as all “1”s (11111111), while input voltages less than that applied

to REF– convert as all “0”s (00000000). For proper operation, REF+ voltage must be at least 1 V higher than REF– voltage. Also,
the total unadjusted error may increase as this differential reference voltage falls below 4.75 V.

3. To minimize errors caused by noise at CS

, the internal circuitry waits for three SYSTEM CLOCK cycles (or less) after a chip select
falling edge is detected before responding to control input signals. Therefore, no attempt should be made to clock in an address until
the minimum chip select setup time has elapsed.

4. This is the time required for the clock input signal to fall from VIH min to VIL max or to rise from VIL max to VIH min. In the vicinity
of normal room temperature, the devices function with input clock transition time as slow as 2 µs for remote data acquisition
applications where the sensor and the A/D converter are placed several feet away from the controlling microprocessor.
