hardware configuration option
The TLV1571/TLV1578 can configure itself. This option is enabled when the WR pin is tied to ground and a
dummy RD signal is applied. The ADC is now fully configured. Zeros or default values are applied to both control
registers. The ADC is configured ideally for 3-V operation, which means the internal OSC is set at 10 MHz, single
channel input mode, and hardware start of conversion using CSTART
.
ADC conversion modes
The TL V1571/TLV1578 provides two conversion modes and two start of conversion modes. In single channel
input mode, a single channel is continuously sampled and converted. In sweep mode (only available for the
TLV1578), a predetermined set of channels is continuously sampled and converted. Table 1 explains these
modes in more detail.

• If in EOC mode, EOC will go high to low at start of conversion, and return high
at end of conversion.

• WR
rising edge to start sampling initially . Thereafter, sampling occurs at the rising
edge of RD
.
• Conversion begins after 6 clocks after sampling has begun. Thereafter, if in INT
mode, one INT
pulse is generated after each conversion
• If in EOC mode, EOC will go high to low at start of conversion and return high at
end of conversion.
With external clock, WR
and RD rising edge must be
a minimum 5 ns before or
after CLK rising edge.

rising edge to start sampling
• ADC proceeds to sample next channel at rising edge of RD
. Conversion begins
after 6 clocks and lasts 10 clocks
• If in INT mode, one INT
pulse generated after each conversion
• If in EOC mode, EOC will go high to low at start of conversion and return high at
end of conversion.
With external clock, WR

Single channel input mode repeatedly samples and converts from the channel until WR is applied.
