description

The TLV2541/2542/2545 are a family of high performance, 12-bit, low power, miniature 3.6 µs, CMOS
analog-to-digital converters (ADC). The TLV254x family operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Devices are
available with single, dual, or single pseudo-differential inputs. The TLV2541 has a 3-state output chip select
(CS), serial output clock (SCLK), and serial data output (SDO) that provides a direct 3-wire interface to the serial
port of most popular host microprocessors (SPI interface). When interfaced with a DSP , a frame sync signal (FS)
is used to indicate the start of a serial data frame. The TLV2542/45 have a shared CS

/FS terminal.

TLV2541/2/5 are designed to operate with very low power consumption. The power saving feature is further
enhanced with an autopower-down mode. This product family features a high-speed serial link to modern host
processors with SCLK up to 20 MHz. TL V254x family uses the built in oscillator as conversion clock, providing
a 3.6 µs conversion time.

detailed description

The TLV2541/2/5 are successive approximation (SAR) ADCs utilizing a charge redistribution DAC. Figure 1
shows a simplified version of the ADC.

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.

pseudo-differential inputs

The TLV2545 operates in pseudo-differential mode. The inverted input is available on pin 5. It can have a
maximum input ripple of ±0.2 V. This is normally used for ground noise rejection.

When FS is not used ( FS = 1 at the falling edge of CS), the falling edge of CS is the start of the cycle. Output
data changes on the rising edge of SCLK. This is typically used for a microcontroller with SPI interface,
although it can also be used for a DSP. The microcontroller SPI interface should be programmed for
CPOL=0 (serial clock referenced to ground) and CPHA=1 (data is valid on the falling edge of serial clock).

When FS is used ( FS is an active signal from a DSP), the falling edge of FS is the start of the cycle. Output
data changes on the rising edge of SCLK. This is typically used for a TMS320 DSP. If the TLV2541 is
attached to a dedicated DSP serial port. CS terminal can be grounded.

TLV2542/5

The CS

and FS inputs are accessed via the same pin (pin 1) on the TL V2542 and TLV2545. The cycle is started
by the falling edge transition provided by either a CS (interfacing with SPI microcontroller) signal or FS
(interfacing with TMS320 DSP) signal. Timing for the TL V2545 is much like the TLV2541, with the exception of
the CS

/FS line.

TLV2542 channel MUX reset cycle

The TLV2542 uses CS/FS to reset the AIN multiplexer. A short active CS/FS cycle (4 to 7 SCLKs) resets the
MUX to AIN0. If the CS

/FS cycle is sufficient to complete the conversion (16 SCLKs plus maximum conversion

time), the MUX toggles to the next channel (see Figure 4 for timing).

sampling

The converter sample time is 12 SCLKs in duration, beginning on the 5th SCLK received after the converter has
received an active CS or FS signal (CS/FS for the TLV2542/5).

conversion

The TLV2541 completes conversion in the following manner. The conversion is started after the 16th SCLK
edge. The conversion takes 3.5 µs plus 0.1 µs overhead. Enough time (for conversion) should be allowed before
a rising CS/FS edge so that no conversion is terminated prematurely.

TL V2542 input channel selection is toggled on each rising CS /FS edge. The MUX channel can be reset to AIN0
via CS /FS as described in the earlier section and in Figure 5. The input is sampled for 12 SCLKs, converted,
and the result is presented on SDO during the next cycle. Care should also be taken to allow enough time
between samples to avoid prematurely terminating the conversion, which occurs on a rising CS

/FS transition

if the conversion is not complete.

use CS as FS input

When interfacing the TL V2541 with the TMS320 DSP, the FSR signal from the DSP may be connected to the
CS input if this is the only device on the serial port. This will save one output terminal from the DSP . (Output data
changes on the falling edge of SCLK. Default for TLV2542 and TLV2545).

SCLK and conversion speed

The minimum onboard oscillator frequency for the TL V2541/2/5 is 4 MHz, and it takes 14 conversion clocks to
complete the conversion. This leads to a 3.5 µs conversion time plus 0.1 µs overhead. These devices can
operate with an SCLK up to 20 MHz for the supply voltage range specified. The total conversion time is
14× (1/f

osc

). For a 20 MHz SCLK, the minimum total cycle time is given by: 14× (1/4M) +16× (1/20M)+ 0.1 µs}
= 4.4 µs for the TL V254x devices. This is the minimum cycle time for an active CS or CS/FS signal. If violated,
the conversion will terminate, invalidating the next data output cycle.

reference voltage

An external reference is applied via VREF. The voltage level applied to this pin establishes the upper limit of
the analog inputs to produce a full-scale reading. The value of V

REF

and the analog input should not exceed
the positive supply or be less than GND, consistent with the specified absolute maximum ratings. The digital
output is at full scale when the input signal is equal to or higher than V

REF

and at zero when the input signal

is equal to or lower than GND.

powerdown and powerup initialization

Autopower down is built in to the devices in order to reduce power consumption. The wake-up time is fast
enough to provide power down between each cycle. The power-down state is initiated at the end of conversion
and wakes up upon a falling edge on CS

or FS.

NOTES: 1. Analog input voltages greater than that applied to VREF convert as all ones (111111111111), while input voltages less than that

applied to GND convert as all zeros(000000000000).

2. This is the time required for the clock input signal to fall from VIH max or to rise from VILmax to VIHmin. In the vicinity of normal room
temperature, the devices function with input clock transition time as slow as 1 µs for remote data-acquisition applications where the
sensor and A/D converter are placed several feet away from the controlling microprocessor.
