description
The TLV1548 is a CMOS 10-bit switched-capacitor successive-approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital (A/D)
converter. The device has a chip select (CS), input-output clock (I/O CLK), data input (DATA IN) and serial data
output (DATA OUT) that provides a direct 4-wire synchronous serial peripheral interface (SPI, QSPI) port
of a host microprocessor. When interfacing with a TMS320 DSP, an additional frame sync signal (FS) indicates
the start of a serial data frame. The device allows high-speed data transfers from the host. The INV CLK input
provides further timing flexibility for the serial interface.
In addition to a high-speed converter and versatile control capability, the device has an on-chip 11-channel
multiplexer that can select any one of eight analog inputs or any one of three internal self-test voltages. The
sample-and-hold function is automatic except for the extended sampling cycle, where the sampling cycle is
started by the falling edge of asynchronous CSTART. At the end of the A/D conversion, the end-of-conversion
(EOC) output goes high to indicate that the conversion is complete. The TLV1548 is designed to operate with
a wide range of supply voltages with very low power consumption. The power saving feature is further enhanced
with a software-programmed power-down mode and conversion rate. The converter incorporated in the device
features differential high-impedance reference inputs that facilitate ratiometric conversion, scaling, and
isolation of analog circuitry from logic and supply noise. A switched-capacitor design allows low-error
conversion over the full operating temperature range.
The TLV1548 has eight analog input channels. The TLV1548Q is characterized for operation over the full
automotive temperature range of −40°C to 125°C.

DESCRIPTION
A0−A3
A4−A7 1−4
5−8 IAnalog inputs. The analog inputs are internally multiplexed. (For a source impedance greater than
1 k, the asynchronous start should be used to increase the sampling time.)
CS 15 I Chip select. A high-to-low transition on CS resets the internal counters and controls and enables DATA IN, DATA
OUT, and I/O CLK within the maximum setup time. A low-to-high transition disables DATA IN, DATA OUT, and I/O
CLK within the setup time.
CSTART 9 I Sampling/conversion start control. CSTART controls the start of the sampling of an analog input from a selected
multiplex channel. A high-to-low transition starts the sampling of the analog input signal. A low-to-high transition puts
the sample-and-hold function in hold mode and starts the conversion. CSTART is independent from I/O CLK and
works when CS is high. The low CSTART duration controls the duration of the sampling cycle for the switched
capacitor array. CSTAR T is tied to VCC if not used.
DATA IN 17 I Serial data input. The 4-bit serial data selects the desired analog input and test voltage to be converted next in a
normal cycle. These bits can also set the conversion rate and enable the power-down mode.
When operating in the microprocessor mode, the input data is presented MSB first and is shifted in on the first fou
r
rising (INV CLK = V
CC
) or falling (INV CLK = GND) edges of I/O CLK (after CS).
rising (INV CLK = VCC) or falling (INV CLK = GND) edges of I/O CLK (after CS).
When operating in the DSP mode, the input data is presented MSB first and is shifted in on the first four falling (INV
CLK = VCC) or rising (INV CLK = GND) edges of I/O CLK (after FS).
After the four input data bits have been read into the input data register, DATA IN is ignored for the remainder of the
current conversion period.
DATA OUT 16 O Three-state serial output of the A/D conversion result. DATA OUT is in the high-impedance state when CS is high
and active when CS is low or after FS (in DSP mode). With a valid CS signal, DATA OUT is removed from the
high-impedance state and is driven to the logic level corresponding to the MSB or LSB value of the previous
conversion result. DATA OUT changes on the falling (microprocessor mode) or rising (DSP mode) edge of I/O CLK.
EOC 19 O End of conversion. EOC goes from a high to a low logic level on the tenth rising (microprocessor mode) or tenth
falling (DSP mode) edge of I/O CLK and remains low until the conversion is complete and data is ready for transfer.
EOC can also indicate that the converter is busy.
FS 12 I DSP frame synchronization input. FS indicates the start of a serial data frame into or out of the device. FS is tied
to VCC when interfacing the device with a microprocessor.
GND 10 Ground return for internal circuitry. All voltage measurements are with respect to GND, unless otherwise noted.
INV CLK 11 I Inverted clock input. INV CLK is tied to GND when an inverted I/O CLK is used as the source of the input clock. This
affects both microprocessor and DSP interfaces. INV CLK is tied to VCC if I/O CLK is not inverted. INV CLK can also
invoke a built-in test mode.

I/O
DESCRIPTION
I/O CLK 18 I Input/output clock. I/O CLK receives the serial I/O clock input in the two modes and performs the following four
functions in each mode:
Microprocessor mode
When INVCLK = VCC, I/O CLK clocks the four input data bits into the input data register on the first four rising
edges of I/O CLK after CS with the multiplexer address available after the fourth rising edge. When INV CLK
= GND, input data bits are clocked in on the first four falling edges instead.
On the fourth falling edge of I/O CLK, the analog input voltage on the selected multiplex input begins charging
the capacitor array and continues to do so until the tenth rising edge of I/O CLK except in the extended sampling
cycle where the duration of CSTART determines when to end the sampling cycle.
Output data bits change on the first ten falling I/O clock edges regardless of the condition of INV CLK.
I/O CLK transfers control of the conversion to the internal state machine on the tenth rising edge of I/O CLK
regardless of the condition of INV CLK.
Digital signal processor (DSP) mode
When INV CLK = VCC, I/O CLK clocks the four input data bits into the input data register on the first four falling
edges of I/O CLK after FS with the multiplexer address available after the fourth falling edges. When INV CLK
= GND, input data bits are clocked in on the first four rising edges instead.
On the fourth rising edge of I/O CLK, the analog input voltage on the selected multiplex input begins charging
the capacitor array and continues to do so until the tenth falling edge of I/O CLK except in the extended sampling
cycle where the duration of CSTART determines when to end the sampling cycle.
Output data MSB shows after FS and the rest of the output data bits change on the first ten rising I/O CLK edges
regarless of the condition of INV CLK.
I/O CLK transfers control of the conversion to the internal state machine on the tenth falling edge of I/O CLK
regardless of the condition of INV CLK.
REF+ 14 I Upper reference voltage (nominally VCC ). The maximum input voltage range is determined by the dif ference between
the voltages applied to REF+ and REF−.
REF− 13 I Lower reference voltage (nominally ground)
VCC 20 I Positive supply voltage
detailed description
Initially, with CS high (inactive), DATA IN and I/O CLK are disabled and DATA OUT is in the high-impedance
state. When the serial interface takes CS low (active), the conversion sequence begins with the enabling of I/O
CLK and DATA IN and the removal of DATA OUT from the high-impedance state. The host then provides the
4-bit channel address to DATA IN and the I/O clock sequence to I/O CLK. During this transfer, the host serial
interface also receives the previous conversion result from DAT A O UT. I/O CLK receives an input sequence from
the host that is from 10 to 16 clocks long. The first four valid I/O CLK cycles load the input data register with the
4-bit input data on DAT A IN that selects the desired analog channel. The next six clock cycles provide the control
timing for sampling the analog input. Sampling of the analog input is held after the first valid I/O CLK sequence
of ten clocks. The tenth clock edge also takes EOC low and begins the conversion. The exact locations of the
I/O clock edges depend on the mode of operation.
serial interface
The TLV1548 is compatible with generic microprocessor serial interfaces such as SPI and QSPI, and a TMS320
DSP serial interface. The internal latched flag If_mode is generated by sampling the state of FS at the falling
edge of C S . If_mode is set to one (for microprocessor) when FS is high at the falling edge of CS , and If_mode
is cleared to zero (for DSP) when FS is low at the falling edge of CS. This flag controls the multiplexing of I/O
CLK and the state machine reset function. FS is pulled high when interfacing with a microprocessor.

I/O CLK
The I/O CLK can go up to 10 MHz for most of the voltage range when fast I/O is possible. The maximum I/O
CLK is limited to 2.8 MHz for a supply voltage range from 2.7 V. Table 1 lists the maximum I/O CLK frequencies
for all different supply voltage ranges. This also depends on input source impedance. For example, I/O CLK
speed faster than 2.39 MHz is achievable if the input source impedance is less than 1 k.

microprocessor serial interface
Input data bits from DATA IN are clocked in on the first four rising edges of the I/O CLK sequence if INV CLK
is held high when the device is in microprocessor interface mode. Input data bits are clocked in on the first four
falling edges of the I/O CLK sequence if INV CLK is held low. The MSB of the previous conversion appears on
DA TA OUT on the falling edge of CS. The remaining nine bits are shifted out on the next nine edges (depending
on the state of INV CLK) of I/O CLK. Ten bits of data are transmitted to the host through DATA OUT.
A minimum of 9.5 clock pulses is required for the conversion to begin. On the tenth clock rising edge, the EOC
output goes low and returns to the high logic level when the conversion is complete; then the result can be read
by the host. On the tenth clock falling edge, the internal logic takes DATA OUT low to ensure that the remaining
bit values are zero if the I/O CLK transfer is more than ten clocks long.
CS is inactive (high) between serial I/O CLK transfers. Each transfer takes at least ten I/O CLK cycles. The falling
edge of CS begins the sequence by removing DATA OUT from the high-impedance state. The rising edge of
CS ends the sequence by returning DATA OUT to the high-impedance state within the specified delay time. Also,
the rising edge of CS disables I/O CLK and DATA IN within a setup time. A conversion does not begin until the
tenth I/O CLK rising edge.
A high-to-low transition on CS within the specified time during an ongoing cycle aborts the cycle, and the device
returns to the initial state (the output data register holds the previous conversion result). CS should not be taken
low close to completion of conversion because the output data can be corrupted.

DSP interface
The TLV1548 can also interface with a DSP, from the TMS320 family for example, through a serial port. The
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) serves as a slave device where the DSP supplies FS and the serial I/O CLK.
Transmit and receive operations are concurrent. The falling edge of FS must occur no later than seven I/O CLK
periods after the falling edge of CS.
DSP I/O cycles differ from microprocessor I/O cycles in the following ways:
DWhen interfaced with a DSP, the output data MSB is available after FS. The remaining output data changes
on the rising edge of I/O CLK. The input data is sampled on the first four falling edges of I/O CLK after FS
and when INV CLK is high, or the first four rising edges of I/O CLK after FS and when INV CLK is l ow. This
operation is inverted when interfaced with a microprocessor.
DA new DSP I/O cycle is started on the rising edge of I/O CLK after the rising edge of FS. The internal state
machine is reset on each falling edge of I/O CLK when FS is high. This operation is opposite when interfaced
with a microprocessor.
DThe TLV1548 supports a 16-clock cycle when interfaced with a DSP. The output data is padded with six
trailing zeros when it is operated in DSP mode.

DATA IN is internally connected to a 4-bit serial input data register. The input data selects a different mode or
selects d i f ferent analog input channels. The host provides the data word with the MSB first. Each data bit clocks
in on the edge (rising or falling depending on the status of INV CLK and FS) of the I/O CLK sequence. The input
clock can be inverted by grounding INV CLK (see Table 3 for the list of software programmed operations set
by the input data).

analog inputs and internal test voltages
The eight analog inputs and the three internal test inputs are selected by the 11-channel multiplexer according
to the input data bit as shown in Table 3. The input multiplexer is a break-before-make type to reduce
input-to-input noise injection resulting from channel switching.
The device can be operated in two distinct sampling modes: normal sampling mode (fixed sampling time) and
extended sampling mode (flexible sampling time). When CSTART is held high, the device is operated in normal
sampling mode. When operated in normal sampling mode, sampling of the analog input starts on the rising edge
of the fourth I/O CLK pulse in the microprocessor interface mode (and on the fourth falling edge of I/O CLK in
the DSP interface mode). Sampling continues for 6 I/O CLK periods. The sample is held on the falling edge of
the tenth I/O CLK pulse in the microprocessor interface mode. The sample is held on the falling edge of the tenth
I/O CLK pulse in the DSP interface mode.The three test inputs are applied to the multiplexer, then sampled and
converted in the same manner as the external analog inputs.

converter
The CMOS threshold detector in the successive-approximation conversion system determines the value of
each bit by examining the charge on a series of binary-weighted capacitors (see Figure 1). In the first phase
of the conversion process, the analog input is sampled by closing the SC switch and all ST switches
simultaneously. This action charges all of the capacitors to the input voltage.
In the next phase of the conversion process, all ST and SC switches are opened and the threshold detector
begins identifying bits by identifying the charge (voltage) on each capacitor relative to the reference (REF −)
voltage. In the switching sequence, ten capacitors are examined separately until all ten bits are identified and
then the charge-convert sequence is repeated. In the first step of the conversion phase, the threshold detector
looks at the first capacitor (weight = 512). Node 512 of this capacitor is switched to the REF+ voltage, and the
equivalent nodes of all the other capacitors on the ladder are switched to REF −. If the voltage at the summing
node is greater than the trip point of the threshold detector (approximately one-half VCC), a bit 0 is placed in the
output register and the 512-weight capacitor is switched to REF −. If the voltage at the summing node is less
than the trip point of the threshold detector, a bit 1 is placed in the register and the 512-weight capacitor remains
connected to REF + through the remainder of the successive-approximation process. The process is repeated
for the 256-weight capacitor, the 128-weight capacitor, and so forth down the line until all bits are counted.
With each step of the successive-approximation process, the initial charge is redistributed among the
capacitors. The conversion process relies on charge redistribution to count and weigh the bits from MSB to LSB.

extended sampling, asynchronous start of sampling: CSTART operation
The extended sampling mode of operation programs the acquisition time ( t ACQ) of the sample-and-hold circuit.
This allows the analog inputs of the device to be directly interfaced to a wide range of input source impedances.
The extended sampling mode consumes higher power depending on the duration of the sampling period
chosen.
CSTART controls the sampling period and starts the conversion. The falling edge of CSTART initiates the
sampling period of a preset channel. The low time of CSTART controls the acquisition time of the input
sample-and-hold circuit. The sample is held on the rising edge of CSTART. Asserting CSTART causes the
converter to perform a new sample of the signal on the preset valid MUX channel (one of the eight) and discard
the current conversion result ready for output. Sampling continues as long as CSTART is active (negative). The
rising edge of CSTART ends the sampling cycle. The conversion cycle starts two internal system clocks after
the rising edge of CSTART.
Once the conversion is complete, the processor can initiate a normal I/O cycle to read the conversion result and
set the MUX address for the next conversion. Since the internal flag AsyncFlag is set high, this flag setting
indicates the cycle is an output cycle, so no conversion is performed during the cycle. The internal state machine
tests the AsyncFlag on the falling edge of CS. AsyncFlag is set high at the rising edge of CSTART, and it is reset
low at the rising edge of each CS. A conversion cycle follows a sampling cycle only if AsyncFlag is tested as
low at the falling edge of CS. As shown in Figure 2, an asynchronous I/O cycle can be removed by two
consecutive normal I/O cycles.

reference voltage inputs
There are two reference inputs used with the TLV1548, REF+ and REF−. These voltage values establish the
upper and lower limits of the analog inputs to produce a full-scale and zero-scale reading respectively. The
values of REF+, REF−, and the analog input should not exceed the positive supply or be lower 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 REF+ and is at zero when the input signal is equal to or lower than REF−.
programmable conversion rate
The TLV1548 offers two conversion rates to maximize battery life when high-speed operation is not necessary.
The conversion rate is programmable. Once the conversion rate has been selected, it takes ef fect immediately
in the same cycle and stays at the same rate until the other rate is chosen. The conversion rate should be set
at power up. Activation and deactivation of the power-down state (digital logic active) has no effect on the preset
conversion rate.

programmable power-down state
The device is put into the power-down state by writing 8h to DATA IN. The power-up state is restored during
the next active access by pulling CS low. The conversion rate selected before the device is put into the
power-down state is not affected by the power-down mode. Power-down can be used to achieve even lower
power consumption. This is because the sustaining power (when not converting) is only 1.3 mA maximum and
standby power is only 1 µA maximum. (By averaging out the power consumption can be much lower than the
1 mA peak when the conversion throughput is lower.)

power up and initialization
After power up, if operating in DSP mode, CS and FS must be taken from high to low to begin an I/O cycle. EOC
is initially high, and the input data register is set to all zeroes. The content of the output data register is random,
and the first conversion result should be ignored. For initialization during operation, CS is taken high and
returned low to begin the next I/O cycle. The first conversion after the device has returned from the power-down
state can be invalid and should be disregarded.
When power is first applied to the device, the conversion rate must be programmed, and the internal Async Flag
must be taken low once. The rising edge of CS of the same cycle then takes Async Flag low.

input clock inversion − INV CLK
The input data register uses I/O CLK as the source of the sampling clock. This clock can be inverted to provide
more setup time. INV CLK can invert the clock. When INV CLK is grounded, the input clock for the input data
register is inverted. This allows an additional one-half I/O CLK period for the input data setup time. This is useful
for some serial interfaces. When the input sampling clock is inverted, the output data changes at the same time
that the input data is sampled.

NOTES: A. This curve is based on the assumption that V ref+ and Vref have been adjusted so that the voltage at the transition from digital 0
to 1 (VZT) is 0.0024 V, and the transition to full scale (VFT) is 4.908 V. 1 LSB = 4.8 mV.
B. The full-scale value (VFS) is the step whose nominal midstep value has the highest absolute value. The zero-scale value (VZS) is
the step whose nominal midstep value equals zero.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
simplified analog input analysis
Using the equivalent circuit in Figure 33, the time required to charge the analog input capacitance from 0 to VS
within 1/2 LSB can be derived as follows:
The capacitance charging voltage is given by:
where Rt = Rs + ri
tc = Cycle time
VC+VSǒ1–e–tcńRtCiǓ
The input impedance Zi is 1 k at 5 V, and is higher (~ 5 k) at 2.7 V. The final voltage to 1/2 LSB is given by:
VC (1/2 LSB) = VS − (VS/2048)
Equating equation 1 to equation 2 and solving for cycle time tc gives:
and time to change to 1/2 LSB (minimum sampling time) is:
tch (1/2 LSB) = Rt × Ci × ln(2048)
VS*ǒVSń2048Ǔ+VSǒ1–e–tcńRtCiǓ
where
ln(2048) = 7.625
Therefore, with the values given, the time for the analog input signal to settle is:
tch (1/2 LSB) = (Rs + 1 k) × 55 pF × ln(2048)
This time must be less than the converter sample time shown in the timing diagrams. Which is 6x I/O CLK.
tch (1/2 LSB) 6x 1/fI/O
Therefore the maximum I/O CLK frequency is:
max(fI/O) = 6/tch (1/2 LSB) = 6/(ln(2048) × Rt × Ci)

maximum conversion throughput
For a supply voltage at 5 V, if the source impedance is less than 1 k, this equates to a minimum sampling
time tch(0.5 LSB) of 0.84 µs. Since the sampling time requires six I/O clocks, the fastest I/O clockfrequency is
6/tch = 7.18 MHz. The minimal total cycle time is given as:
tc = taddress + tsample + tconv + td(EOC CS)
= 0.56 µs + 0.84 µs + 10 µs + 0.1 µs
= 11.5 µs
A maximum throughput of 87 KSPS. The throughput can be even higher with a smaller source impedance.
When source impedance is 100, the minimum sampling time is 0.46 µs. The maximum I/O clock frequency
possible is almost 13 MHz. Then 10 MHz clock (maximum I/O CLK for TLV1548) can be used. The minimal total
cycle time is:
tc = taddress + tsample + tconv + td(EOC CS)
= 4 × 1/f + 0.46 µs + 10 µs + 0.1 µs
= 0.4 µs + 0.46 µs + 10 µs + 0.1 µs
= 10.96 µs
The maximum throughput is 1/10.96 µs = 91 KSPS for this case.
