DESCRIPTION
The TLC1542C, TLC1542I, TLC1542M, TLC1542Q,
TLC1543C, TLC1543I, and TLC1543Q are CMOS
10-bit switched-capacitor successive-approximation
analog-to-digital converters. These devices have
three inputs and a 3-state output [chip select (CS),
input-output clock (I/O CLOCK), address input
(ADDRESS), and data output (DATA OUT)] that
provide a direct 4-wire interface to the serial port of a
host processor. These devices allow high-speed data
transfers from the host.
In addition to a high-speed A/D converter and
versatile control capability, these devices have an
on-chip 14-channel multiplexer that can select any
one of 11 analog inputs or any one of three internal
self-test voltages. The sample-and-hold function is
automatic. At the end of A/D conversion, the
end-of-conversion (EOC) output goes high to
indicate that conversion is complete. The converter
incorporated in the devices 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 free-air
temperature range.

DESCRIPTION
Serial address input. A 4-bit serial address selects the desired analog input or test voltage that is to be
converted next. The address data is presented with the MSB first and shifts in on the first four rising
edges of I/O CLOCK. After the four address bits have been read into the address register, this input is
ignored for the remainder of the current conversion period.
Analog signal inputs. The 11 analog inputs are applied to these terminals and are internally
multiplexed. The driving source impedance should be less than or equal to 1 kΩ.
Chip select. A high-to-low transition on this input resets the internal counters and controls and enables
DATA OUT, ADDRESS, and I/O CLOCK within a maximum of a setup time plus two falling edges of
the internal system clock. A low-to-high transition disables ADDRESS and I/O CLOCK within a setup
time plus two falling edges of the internal system clock.
The 3-state serial output for the A/D conversion result. This output is in the high-impedance state
when CS is high and active when CS is low. With a valid chip select, DATA OUT is removed from the
high-impedance state and is driven to the logic level corresponding to the MSB value of the previous
conversion result. The next falling edge of I/O CLOCK drives this output to the logic level
corresponding to the next most significant bit, and the remaining bits shift out in order with the LSB
appearing on the ninth falling edge of I/O CLOCK. On the tenth falling edge of I/O CLOCK, DATA
OUT is driven to a low logic level so that serial interface data transfers of more than ten clocks
produce zeroes as the unused LSBs.
End of conversion. This output goes from a high to a low logic level on the trailing edge of the tenth
I/O CLOCK and remains low until the conversion is complete and data are ready for transfer.
The ground return terminal for the internal circuitry. Unless otherwise noted, all voltage measurements
are with respect to this terminal.
Input/output clock. This terminal receives the serial I/O CLOCK input and performs the following four
functions: 1) It clocks the four input address bits into the address register on the first four rising edges
of the I/O CLOCK with the multiplex address available after the fourth rising edge. 2) On the fourth
falling edge of I/O CLOCK, 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 CLOCK. 3) It shifts the
nine remaining bits of the previous conversion data out on DATA OUT. 4) It transfers control of the
conversion to the internal state controller on the falling edge of the tenth clock.
The upper reference voltage value (nominally V
CC
) is applied to this terminal. The maximum input
voltage range is determined by the difference between the voltage applied to this terminal and the
voltage applied to the REF- terminal.
The lower reference voltage value (nominally ground) is applied to this terminal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
With chip select (CS) inactive (high), the ADDRESS and I/O CLOCK inputs are initially disabled and DATA OUT
is in the high-impedance state. When the serial interface takes CS active (low), the conversion sequence begins
with the enabling of I/O CLOCK and ADDRESS and the removal of DATA OUT from the high-impedance state.
The serial interface then provides the 4-bit channel address to ADDRESS and the I/O CLOCK sequence to I/O
CLOCK. During this transfer, the serial interface also receives the previous conversion result from DATA OUT.
I/O CLOCK receives an input sequence that is between 10 and 16 clocks long from the host serial interface. The
first four I/O clocks load the address register with the 4-bit address on ADDRESS, selecting the desired analog
channel, and the next six clocks providing the control timing for sampling the analog input.
There are six basic serial-interface timing modes that can be used with the device. These modes are determined
by the speed of I/O CLOCK and the operation of CS as shown in Table 1. These modes are (1) a fast mode with
a 10-clock transfer and CS inactive (high) between conversion cycles, (2) a fast mode with a 10-clock transfer
and CS active (low) continuously, (3) a fast mode with an 11- to 16-clock transfer and CS inactive (high)
between conversion cycles, (4) a fast mode with a 16-clock transfer and CS active (low) continuously, (5) a slow
mode with an 11- to 16-clock transfer and CS inactive (high) between conversion cycles, and (6) a slow mode
with a 16-clock transfer and CS active (low) continuously.

The MSB of the previous conversion appears at DATA OUT on the falling edge of CS in mode 1, mode 3, and
mode 5, on the rising edge of EOC in mode 2 and mode 4, and following the sixteenth clock falling edge in
mode 6. The remaining nine bits are shifted out on the next nine falling edges of I/O CLOCK. Ten bits of data
are transmitted to the host-serial interface through DATA OUT. The number of serial clock pulses used also
depends on the mode of operation, but a minimum of ten clock pulses is required for conversion to begin. On
the tenth clock falling edge, the EOC output goes low and returns to the high logic level when conversion is
complete and the result can be read by the host. Also, on the tenth clock falling edge, the internal logic takes
DATA OUT low to ensure that the remaining bit values are zero when the I/O CLOCK transfer is more than ten
clocks long.
Table 1 lists the operational modes with respect to the state of CS, the number of I/O serial transfer clocks that
can be used, and the timing edge on which the MSB of the previous conversion appears at the output.

FAST MODES
The device is in a fast mode when the serial I/O CLOCK data transfer is completed before the conversion is
completed. With a 10-clock serial transfer, the device can only run in a fast mode since a conversion does not
begin until the falling edge of the tenth I/O CLOCK.
MODE 1: FAST MODE, CS INACTIVE (HIGH) BETWEEN CONVERSION CYCLES, 10-CLOCK TRANSFER
In this mode, CS is inactive (high) between serial I/O CLOCK transfers and each transfer is ten clocks long. 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 the I/O CLOCK and ADDRESS terminals within a setup time plus two falling
edges of the internal system clock.
MODE 2: FAST MODE, CS ACTIVE (LOW) CONTINUOUSLY, 10-CLOCK TRANSFER
In this mode, CS is active (low) between serial I/O CLOCK transfers and each transfer is ten clocks long. After
the initial conversion cycle, CS is held active (low) for subsequent conversions; the rising edge of EOC then
begins each sequence by removing DATA OUT from the low logic level, allowing the MSB of the previous
conversion to appear immediately on this output.
MODE 3: FAST MODE, CS INACTIVE (HIGH) BETWEEN CONVERSION CYCLES, 11- to 16-CLOCK
TRANSFER
In this mode, CS is inactive (high) between serial I/O CLOCK transfers, and each transfer can be 11 to 16 clocks
long. 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 the I/O CLOCK and ADDRESS terminals within a setup time
plus two falling edges of the internal system clock.

MODE 4: FAST MODE, CS ACTIVE (LOW) CONTINUOUSLY, 16-CLOCK TRANSFER
In this mode, CS is active (low) between serial I/O CLOCK transfers and each transfer must be exactly 16 clocks
long. After the initial conversion cycle, CS is held active (low) for subsequent conversions; the rising edge of
EOC then begins each sequence by removing DATA OUT from the low logic level, allowing the MSB of the
previous conversion to appear immediately on this output.
SLOW MODES
In a slow mode, the conversion is completed before the serial I/O CLOCK data transfer is completed. A slow
mode requires a minimum 11-clock transfer into I/O CLOCK, and the rising edge of the eleventh clock must
occur before the conversion period is complete; otherwise, the device loses synchronization with the host-serial
interface and CS has to be toggled to initialize the system. The eleventh rising edge of the I/O CLOCK must
occur within 9.5
µs
after the tenth I/O clock falling edge.
MODE 5: SLOW MODE, CS INACTIVE (HIGH) BETWEEN CONVERSION CYCLES, 11- to 16-CLOCK
TRANSFER
In this mode, CS is inactive (high) between serial I/O CLOCK transfers and each transfer can be 11 to 16 clocks
long. 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 the I/O CLOCK and ADDRESS terminals within a setup time
plus two falling edges of the internal system clock.
MODE 6: SLOW MODE, CS ACTIVE (LOW) CONTINUOUSLY, 16-CLOCK TRANSFER
In this mode, CS is active (low) between serial I/O CLOCK transfers and each transfer must be exactly 16 clocks
long. After the initial conversion cycle, CS is held active (low) for subsequent conversions. The falling edge of
the sixteenth I/O CLOCK then begins each sequence by removing DATA OUT from the low state, allowing the
MSB of the previous conversion to appear immediately at DATA OUT. The device is then ready for the next
16-clock transfer initiated by the serial interface.
ADDRESS BITS
The 4-bit analog channel-select address for the next conversion cycle is presented to the ADDRESS terminal
(MSB first) and is clocked into the address register on the first four leading edges of I/O CLOCK. This address
selects one of 14 inputs (11 analog inputs or three internal test inputs).
ANALOG INPUTS AND TEST MODES
The 11 analog inputs and the three internal test inputs are selected by the 14-channel multiplexer according to
the input address as shown in Tables 2 and 3. The input multiplexer is a break-before-make type to reduce
input-to-input noise injection resulting from channel switching.
Sampling of the analog input starts on the falling edge of the fourth I/O CLOCK, and sampling continues for six
I/O CLOCK periods. The sample is held on the falling edge of the tenth I/O CLOCK. The three test inputs are
applied to the multiplexer, sampled, and converted in the same manner as the external analog inputs.
