SLAS065A - OCTOBER 1983 - REVISED MARCH 1995
The TLC540 and TLC541 are CMOS A/D converters built around an 8-bit switched-capacitor 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 us for the TLC540 and 17 us for the TLC541 over the full operating temperature range.
The TLC540I and TLC541I are characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
