description
The TLV2541, TLV2542, and TLV2545 are a family of high performance, 12-bit, low power, miniature, CMOS
analog-to-digital converters (ADC). The TLV254x family operates from a single 2.7-V to 5.5-V supply. Devices
are available with single, dual, or single pseudo-differential inputs. Each device has a chip select (CS), serial
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 TMS320t DSP, a frame sync signal (FS)
can be used to indicate the start of a serial data frame on CS for all devices or FS for the TLV2541.
TLV2541, TLV2542, and TLV2545 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. The maximum SCLK frequency is dependent upon the
mode of operation (see Table 1). The TLV254x family uses the built-in oscillator as the conversion clock,
providing a 3.5-μs conversion time.

detailed description
The TLV2541, TLV2542, and TLV2545 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.
control and timing
start of the cycle
Each cycle may be started by either CS, FS, or a combination of both. The internal state machine requires one
SCLK high-to-low transition to determine the state of these control signals so internal blocks can be powered
up in an active cycle. Special care to SPI mode is necessary. Make sure there is at least one SCLK whenever
CS (pin 1) is high to ensure proper operation.
TLV2541
D Control via CS ( FS = 1 at the falling edge of CS)—The falling edge of CS is the start of the cycle. The MSB
should be read on the first falling SCLK edge after CS is low. Output data changes on the rising edge of
SCLK. This is typically used for a microcontroller with an 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 the serial clock). At least one falling edge transition
on SCLK is needed whenever CS is brought high.
D Control via FS (CS is tied/held low)—The MSB is presented after the rising edge of FS. The falling edge
of FS is the start of the cycle. The MSB should be read on the first falling edge of SCLK after FS is low. This
is the typical configuration when the ADC is the only device on the DSP serial port.

control and timing (continued)
D Control via both CS and FS—The MSB is presented after the falling edge of CS. The falling edge of FS is
the start of the sampling cycle. The MSB should be read on the first falling SCLK edge after FS is low. Output
data changes on the rising edge of SCLK. This configuration is typically used for multiple devices connected
to a TMS320 DSP.
TLV2542/5
All control is provided using CS (pin 1) on the TLV2542 and TLV2545. The cycle is started on the falling edge
transition provided by either a CS signal from an SPI microcontroller or FS signal from a TMS320 DSP. Timing
is similar to the TLV2541, with control via CS only.
TLV2542 channel MUX reset cycle
The TLV2542 uses CS to reset the analog input multiplexer. A short active CS cycle (4 to 7 SCLKs) resets the
MUX to AIN0. When the CS cycle time is greater than 7 SCLKs in duration, as in the case for a complete
conversion cycle (CS is low for 16 SCLKs plus maximum conversion time), the MUX toggles to the next channel
(see Figure 4 for timing). One dummy conversion cycle is recommended after power up before attempting to
reset the MUX.
sampling
The converter sample time is 12 SCLKs in duration, beginning on the fifth SCLK received after the converter
has received a high-to-low CS transition (or a high-to-low FS transition for the TLV2541).
conversion
The TLV2541, TLV2542, and TLV2545 complete conversions in the following manner. The conversion is started
after the 16th SCLK falling edge and takes 3.5 μs to complete. Enough time (for conversion) should be allowed
before a rising CS or FS edge so that no conversion is terminated prematurely.
TLV2542 input channel selection is toggled on each rising CS edge. The MUX channel can be reset to AIN0
via CS as described in the earlier section and in Figure 4. 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 cycle, which occurs on a rising CS transition if the conversion is
not complete.
The SDO data presented during a cycle is the result of the conversion of the sample taken during the previous
cycle.
