Product details
Overview
TLV0834CD from Texas Instruments is a 4-channel, 8-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with serial interface, operating from 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply, delivering ±1 LSB total unadjusted error and 32 µs conversion time at 250 kHz clock. It supports single-ended or differential input configurations and is used in sensor signal conditioning for industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLV0834CD datasheet, TLV0834CD pinout, TLV0834CD application, or TLV0834CD equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOIC-14 package, ratiometric operation with VCC reference, software-configurable multiplexer addressing, and compatibility with TTL/MOS logic levels in microprocessor-interfaced data acquisition.
Technical Context
The TLV0834CD implements a sample-data-comparator architecture with internal successive-approximation register (SAR) and resistive ladder network. Its serial control interface uses a 5-bit shift register for channel and mode selection, with start-bit–driven addressing and MSB-first output data format.
Conversion is initiated by CS low, followed by clocked DI input containing start bit and 3–4 bit assignment word. After multiplexer settling, the SAR performs 8-clock-cycle conversion, with SARS high during active conversion and DO outputting 8-bit result MSB first, then LSB first in TLV0834-specific sequence.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 discrete digital codes across full-scale input range |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into 3-V systems without level-shifting |
| Conversion Time | 32 µs at fCLK = 250 kHz - defines minimum sampling period for real-time sensor monitoring |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1 LSB - specifies worst-case deviation from ideal transfer curve without calibration |
| Input Channels | 4-channel multiplexer - supports sequential sampling of up to four analog sensors or signals |
| Reference Mode | Ratiometric or VCC-based - eliminates need for external precision reference in cost-sensitive designs |
| Digital Interface | 3-wire serial (CS, CLK, DI/DO) - reduces PCB routing complexity versus parallel ADCs |
Pinout & Package
TLV0834CD is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.65 mm × 3.91 mm body size, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pad; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling |
| 2 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable for serial interface and internal logic; must stay low throughout conversion |
| 3–6 (CH0–CH3) | Analog input channels | Configurable as single-ended or differential pairs (e.g., CH0/CH1); polarity assigned via serial address |
| 7 (DGTL GND) | Digital ground | Return path for digital I/O; requires separate low-impedance connection from ANLG GND |
| 8 (VCC) | Power supply | Provides bias for both analog and digital sections; decoupling capacitor mandatory near pin |
| 9 (DI) | Serial data input | Accepts start bit + channel/address bits during CS low; only sampled before conversion starts |
| 10 (CLK) | Serial clock input | Synchronizes DI sampling and DO output; duty cycle 40–60% required for reliable operation |
| 11 (SARS) | SAR status output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; used for timing handshaking |
| 12 (DO) | Serial data output | 3-state output delivering MSB-first 8-bit result, then LSB-first continuation; high-impedance when CS high |
| 13 (REF) | Reference voltage input | Accepts external reference or connects to VCC; sets full-scale input range (0 V to VREF) |
| 14 (ANLG GND) | Analog ground | Return path for analog inputs and reference; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input mode | Single-ended, differential, or pseudodifferential assignment per channel via serial command - enables flexible sensor interfacing without hardware changes |
| Low-voltage serial interface | TTL/MOS-compatible I/O with VIH ≥ 2 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 3.3 V - ensures interoperability with 3-V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Internal multiplexer settling delay | One-clock-period automatic insertion after channel selection - guarantees stable analog input before conversion begins |
| High-impedance outputs | DO and SARS enter high-Z state when CS high - allows multiple devices on shared bus without external tri-state logic |
| Low quiescent current | 0.2–0.75 mA typical ICC at 3.3 V - supports battery-powered or energy-constrained embedded systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-channel, 8-bit serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC0834CN | Same 4-channel 8-bit SAR architecture but includes internal Zener regulator; requires 5-V supply; not rated for 3-V operation | Designed for legacy 5-V systems; incompatible with 3-V logic and supply rails | Select TLV0834CD for new 3-V designs; ADC0834CN only if maintaining 5-V infrastructure and needing internal reference regulation |
| TLV0834CPW | Identical electrical specs and functionality; differs only in TSSOP-16 package (16-pin, 4.4 mm × 5 mm), no NC pin, added SE pin for LSB-first control | Smaller footprint and finer pitch; SE pin enables LSB-first output mode not available on SOIC-14 variant | Choose TLV0834CPW for space-constrained layouts or when LSB-first serial protocol is required; TLV0834CD preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy SOIC footprints |
Compared with ADC0834CN, TLV0834CD enables true 3-V system integration without level translation, while TLV0834CPW offers identical performance in a smaller package with enhanced serial flexibility-making TLV0834CD the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, standard SOIC-based 3-V data acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by TLV0834CD?
The TLV0834CD supports up to 250 kHz at VCC = 2.7 V and up to 600 kHz at VCC = 3.3 V. At 250 kHz, conversion time is fixed at 32 µs (8 clock cycles plus settling). Exceeding recommended frequencies may cause timing violations or incomplete conversions, so design must adhere to the clock duty cycle (40–60%) and setup/hold timing requirements specified in the datasheet for TLV0834CD.
Does TLV0834CD require an external voltage reference?
No, TLV0834CD operates ratiometrically using VCC as the reference, enabling 0 V to VCC input range without external components. However, REF pin can accept an external precision reference (e.g., 2.5 V) to improve accuracy or scale input range independently of supply voltage - a capability confirmed in the functional description and electrical characteristics tables for TLV0834CD.
How does the TLV0834CD handle differential input configurations?
The TLV0834CD supports differential inputs via adjacent channel pairs (e.g., CH0/CH1), with polarity assignable via serial address bits. The functional description confirms that differential mode compares positive and negative terminals, and output is all zeros if IN(+) < IN(−). This behavior is explicitly defined in the MUX-address control logic table and applies directly to TLV0834CD, not just the TLV0838 family.
Can TLV0834CD share DI and DO on a single microcontroller I/O line?
Yes, TLV0834CD supports bidirectional single-wire serial communication: DI is sampled only during the address phase (before conversion starts), while DO is active and driven only after conversion begins and remains in high-impedance when CS is high. This timing separation - documented in the functional description and sequence-of-operation diagrams - allows safe reuse of one MCU GPIO for both input and output in TLV0834CD implementations.
What is the operating temperature range for TLV0834CD?
The TLV0834CD is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, as confirmed in the "AVAILABLE OPTIONS" table and "recommended operating conditions" section. This commercial-grade temperature range is distinct from the extended –40°C to 85°C range of TLV0834ID variants, and applies specifically to the TLV0834CD part number per TI's official packaging addendum.
