that combines a high-speed 8-bit ADC and a
parallel interface. The device contains two on-chip control registers allowing control of software conversion start
and power down via the bidirectional parallel port. The control registers can be set to a default mode using a
dummy RD

The TL V571 operates from a single 2.7-V to 5.5-V power supply. It accepts an analog input range from 0 V to
AVDD and digitizes the input at a maximum 1.25 MSPS throughput rate at 5 V . The power dissipations are only
12 mW with a 3-V supply or 35 mW with a 5-V supply. The device features an auto power-down mode that
automatically powers down to 1 mA 50 ns after conversion is performed. In software power-down mode, the
ADC is further powered down to only 10 µA.
Very high throughput rate, simple parallel interface, and low power consumption make the TLV571 an ideal
choice for high-speed digital signal processing.

The TLV571 is a successive-approximation ADC 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.

The TLV571 requires 16 CLKs for each conversion, therefore the equivalent maximum sampling frequency
achievable with a given CLK frequency is:

The TL V571 is software configurable. The first two MSB bits, D(7,6) are used to address which register to set.
The remaining six bits are used as control data bits. There are two control registers, CR0 and CR1, that are user
configurable. All of the register bits are written to the control register during write cycles. A description of the
control registers is shown in Figure 2.

The TLV571 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 and hardware
start of conversion using CSTART.
ADC conversion modes
The TLV571 provides two start of conversion modes. Table 1 explains these modes in more detail.

The device can be configured by writing to control registers CR0 and CR1.
The TLV571 offers two power down modes, auto power down and software power down. This device will
automatically proceed to auto power down mode if RD is not present one clock after conversion. Software power
down is controlled directly by the user by pulling CS to DVDD.

reference voltage input
The TL V571 has two reference input pins: REFP and REFM. The voltage levels applied to these pins establish
the upper and lower limits of the analog inputs to produce a full-scale and zero-scale reading respectively . The
values of REFP, REFM, 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 REFP and is at zero when the input signal is equal to or lower than REFM.
sampling/conversion
All sampling, conversion, and data output in the device are started by a trigger. This could be the RD, WR, or
CSTART signal depending on the mode of conversion and configuration. The rising edge of RD, WR, and
CSTART signal are extremely important, since they are used to start the conversion. These edges need to stay
close to the rising edge of the external clock (if it is used as CLK). The minimum setup and hold time with respect
to the rising edge of the external clock should be 5 ns minimum. When the internal clock is used, this is not an
issue since these two edges will start the internal clock automatically . Therefore, the setup time is always met.
Software controlled sampling lasts 6 clock cycles. This is done via the CLK input or the internal oscillator if
enabled. The input clock frequency can be 1 MHz to 20 MHz, translating into a sampling time from 0.6 µs to
0.3 µs. The internal oscillator frequency is 9 MHz minimum (ocillator frequency is between 9 MHz to 22 MHz),
translating into a sampling time from 0.6 µs to 0.3 µs. Conversion begins immediately after sampling and lasts
10 clock cycles. This is again done using the external clock input (1 MHz–20 MHz) or the internal oscillator
(9 MHz minimum) if enabled. Hardware controlled sampling, via CST AR T
length of the active CSTART
signal. This allows more control over the sampling time, which is useful when
sampling sources with large output impedances. On rising CSTART, conversion begins. Conversion in
hardware controlled mode also lasts 10 clock cycles. This is done using the external clock input (1 MHz–20 MHz)
or the internal oscillator (9 MHz minimum) as is the case in software controlled mode.
There are two ways to convert data: hardware and software. In the hardware conversion mode the ADC begins
sampling at the falling edge of CSTART and begins conversion at the rising edge of CSTART. Software start
mode ADC samples for 6 clocks, then conversion occurs for ten clocks. The total sampling and conversion
process lasts only 16 clocks in this case. If RD
proceeds to a power-down state. Data is valid on the rising edge of INT in both conversion modes.
hardware CST ART conversion
external clock
With CS low and WR low, data is written into the ADC. The sampling begins at the falling edge of CSTART and
conversion begins at the rising edge of CST AR T. At the end of conversion, EOC goes from low to high, telling
the host that conversion is ready to be read out. The external clock is active and is used as the reference at all
times. With this mode, it is required that CST ART is not applied at the rising edge of the clock (see Figure 4).
