Product details
Overview
TLC320AC01CFN from Texas Instruments is a single-supply, 14-bit analog interface circuit (AIC) integrating synchronous ADC and DAC channels, sixth-order switched-capacitor antialiasing and reconstruction filters, (sin x)/x compensation, and a programmable serial port for DSP interfacing. It operates at 5 V, supports 8–43.2 kHz sampling rates, delivers 70 dB typical signal-to-distortion ratio, and targets audio-band applications including modems and speech processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLC320AC01CFN datasheet, TLC320AC01CFN pinout, TLC320AC01CFN application, or TLC320AC01CFN equivalent, key selection considerations include its master/slave configurable timing architecture, differential analog I/O with programmable gain (0/±6/±12/±18 dB), monitor output capability, and support for stand-alone, codec-emulation, and multi-device daisy-chain topologies.
Technical Context
The TLC320AC01CFN implements dual synchronized signal paths: a 14-bit ADC channel with sixth-order elliptic low-pass antialiasing filter (3.6–10.8 kHz bandwidth) and single-pole high-pass filter, plus a 14-bit DAC channel with sixth-order elliptic low-pass reconstruction filter and second-order (sin x)/x correction. Both channels share a common 5-V supply and use 2s-complement data format.
Timing is controlled via MCLK (up to 10.368 MHz), with SCLK derived internally in master mode (÷4) or externally in slave/codec mode. Frame synchronization (FS/FSD), hardware control inputs (FC0/FC1), and register-programmable modes (stand-alone/master/slave/codec) enable flexible integration with TMS320C5x and other DSPs without external clock generation logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit ADC and DAC - enables 84 dB theoretical SNR for high-fidelity audio digitization and playback |
| Sampling Rate | 8 kHz to 43.2 kHz - programmable via A/B registers to match system clock and filter bandwidth requirements |
| Signal-to-Distortion Ratio | 70 dB typical - measured at 8 kHz fs, VDD = 5 V, indicating usable dynamic range for voice-band applications |
| Filter Bandwidth | 3.6 kHz to 10.8 kHz - selectable via B register; sixth-order elliptic response provides sharp roll-off for alias suppression |
| Power Dissipation | 100 mW typical - single 5-V supply operation simplifies power design versus dual-rail audio codecs |
| Analog I/O Architecture | Fully differential input/output - supports transformer-coupled hybrids, 600-Ω differential loads, and ground-referenced single-ended configurations |
| Serial Interface | Programmable master/slave SCLK/FS timing - eliminates need for external clock dividers when interfacing with TI C5x DSPs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic DIP (FN package), through-hole mounting, 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+, IN− | Main differential ADC input | Accepts ±2.5 V bipolar full-scale signal; gain programmable via Register 4 (0/6/12 dB or squelch) |
| AUX IN+, AUX IN− | Auxiliary differential ADC input | Alternative input path; selectable via Register 5; supports summing of main + auxiliary inputs |
| OUT+, OUT− | Differential DAC output | Drives 3 V peak into 600-Ω load; gain programmable (0/−6/−12 dB or squelch); supports transformer hybrid interfaces |
| MON OUT | High-impedance monitor output | Provides buffered copy of analog input path; gain programmable (0/−8/−18 dB or squelch) for diagnostics |
| DIN, DOUT | Serial data I/O | 2s-complement 16-bit words synchronized to SCLK; DOUT outputs ADC results or register reads |
| FS, FSD | Frame sync I/O | FS initiates data transfer; FSD is delayed active-low output for cascading slaves (delay set by Register 7) |
| MCLK, SCLK | Clock inputs/outputs | MCLK drives all internal logic; SCLK is ÷4 output in master mode, input in slave/codec mode |
| M/S, FC0, FC1 | Mode and control inputs | M/S selects master (high) or slave (low); FC0/FC1 request secondary communication or phase shift |
| RESET, PWR DWN | Control inputs | Asynchronous reset initializes registers to defaults (16 kHz rate, 7.2 kHz BW); PWR DWN enables low-power standby |
| VDD/GND (ADC, DAC, DGTL) | Supply terminals | Separate analog (ADC/DAC) and digital (DGTL) supplies reduce noise coupling; VMID pins require bypass capacitors |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable filter bandwidth | 3.6–10.8 kHz via B register - matches telephony (8 kHz), wideband voice (14.4 kHz), or spectral analysis needs without external components |
| Dual differential input paths | Primary (IN±) and auxiliary (AUX IN±) with summing option - enables echo cancellation, dual-channel monitoring, or adaptive front-end routing |
| Monitor output with gain control | 0/−8/−18 dB or squelch - allows real-time analog input verification without loading signal source or disrupting main path |
| Master/slave daisy-chain capability | FSD output delays FS by programmable SCLK cycles - supports up to 8 devices on one DSP serial port (per Appendix D) |
| Hardware-assisted phase adjustment | FC0/FC1 pins trigger secondary serial comms or phase shift - enables precise timing alignment in multi-AIC systems without software overhead |
Applications
| Modem Analog Front End | Voice Band DSP Interface |

Use Value: Reduces DSP serial port count requirement by 75%; eliminates inter-channel skew since all devices sample synchronously under shared MCLK. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog interface circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC320AC02CFN | Functionally identical architecture but tighter AC specs: 72 dB min SNR vs. 70 dB typ; lower THD+N; improved crosstalk (−75 dB vs. −65 dB) | Better suited for high-fidelity voice recording or spectral analysis where measurement accuracy is critical | Select TLC320AC02CFN when absolute distortion floor matters more than cost; pin- and register-compatible drop-in replacement |
| TLV320AIC10IPFB | Lower power (35 mW), 16-bit resolution, integrated PLL, but requires dual ±2.5 V supplies and lacks FSD daisy-chain output | Preferred for battery-powered portable DSP systems needing longer runtime and higher resolution | Choose TLV320AIC10IPFB only if dual supply is acceptable and master-slave chaining is unnecessary; not pin-compatible |
Compared with TLC320AC01CFN, TLC320AC02CFN offers verified SNR improvement without layout changes, while TLV320AIC10IPFB trades daisy-chain capability and single-supply simplicity for resolution and power efficiency-making each suitable for distinct system-level constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the TLC320AC01CFN?
The TLC320AC01CFN supports a maximum ADC sampling rate of 43.2 kHz and a maximum DAC sampling rate of 25 kHz, as specified in Section 1.7 Note 3 of the SLAS057D datasheet. These limits arise from internal timing constraints in the switched-capacitor filter and conversion logic; exceeding them causes incomplete conversions and erroneous output data.
Does the TLC320AC01CFN require external antialiasing filters?
No, the TLC320AC01CFN integrates a sixth-order elliptic switched-capacitor antialiasing filter with programmable bandwidth (3.6–10.8 kHz). External filtering is only required when operating below 7.2 kHz sampling rate with B register values <10 or >20, per Table 1–1 Notes 1 and 2 in the TLC320AC01CFN datasheet.
How does the FSD pin enable daisy-chaining of multiple TLC320AC01CFN devices?
The FSD pin outputs a delayed version of the master's FS signal, with delay programmable via Register 7 (0–15 SCLK cycles). In a daisy-chain, the master's FSD connects to the first slave's FS, whose FSD connects to the next slave's FS-ensuring synchronized frame timing across all devices sharing one MCLK source, as detailed in Appendix D of the TLC320AC01CFN documentation.
Can the TLC320AC01CFN operate with a 3.3-V digital supply?
No-the TLC320AC01CFN requires a 5-V digital supply (DGTL VDD) per Section 3.2 "Recommended Operating Conditions" in the SLAS057D datasheet. Its digital I/O thresholds and internal logic are designed for 5-V TTL/CMOS compatibility; operation at 3.3 V is outside specification and may cause communication failures or register corruption.
What is the function of the MON OUT pin on the TLC320AC01CFN?
The MON OUT pin provides a high-impedance buffered copy of the selected analog input path (main or auxiliary), with programmable gain settings of 0 dB, −8 dB, −18 dB, or squelch (mute), as defined in Register 4. It enables non-intrusive signal monitoring during system bring-up or diagnostics without loading the primary signal path, per Section 1.4 and Figure 6–1 in the TLC320AC01CFN data manual.
