Product details
Overview
TLV0834CDR from Texas Instruments is a 4-channel, 8-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with serial control 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, differential, and pseudodifferential input configurations and is designed for embedded sensor signal acquisition in space-constrained industrial and portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLV0834CDR datasheet, TLV0834CDR pinout, TLV0834CDR application, or TLV0834CDR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for 3-V ADC selection in microprocessor-interfaced data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The TLV0834CDR implements a sample-data-comparator SAR architecture with an integrated 4-channel analog multiplexer controlled via a 5-bit serial address word. Its serial DI/DO interface operates synchronously with CS and CLK, supporting both MSB-first and LSB-first output modes depending on SE pin state.
It features ratiometric operation using VCC as reference or external voltage applied to REF, enabling full-scale encoding of sub-VCC analog spans. Input range is 0 V to VCC with TTL/MOS-compatible logic levels, and internal diode clamping protects against overvoltage up to VCC + 0.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 discrete digital codes for precise quantization of analog sensor signals. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into 3-V microcontroller systems without level-shifting. |
| Conversion Time | 32 µs at fCLK = 250 kHz - supports up to ~31.25 kSPS sampling rate for real-time monitoring applications. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and guarantees no missing codes across full temperature range (0°C to 70°C). |
| Input Channels | 4-channel software-configurable MUX - allows flexible routing of analog inputs without external switching hardware. |
| Reference Mode | VCC or external REF - enables ratiometric measurement for sensor bridges or adjustable full-scale scaling. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems including HVAC controls and instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
TLV0834CDR is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (D package), 3.90 mm wide, with standard JEDEC outline and moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow). Pin 1 is located in quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pad; must be left floating or tied to ground for mechanical stability only. |
| 2 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable that powers internal logic and initiates conversion sequence upon falling edge. |
| 3–6 (CH0–CH3) | Analog input channels | Configurable as single-ended, differential pairs (CH0/CH1, CH2/CH3), or pseudodifferential with COM. |
| 7 (DGTL GND) | Digital ground | Reference return for digital I/O; must be separated from ANLG GND with single-point connection. |
| 8 (VCC) | Power supply | Primary 2.7–3.6 V supply powering both analog and digital sections; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling. |
| 9 (DI) | Serial data input | Accepts 5-bit multiplexer address and start bit; sampled on rising CLK edge during addressing phase. |
| 10 (CLK) | Serial clock input | Drives internal shift register and SAR timing; duty cycle 40–60% required for reliable operation. |
| 11 (SARS) | SAR status output | Active-high open-drain flag indicating conversion in progress; used for polling or interrupt generation. |
| 12 (DO) | Serial data output | MSB-first 8-bit result followed by LSB; high-impedance when CS is high or during conversion. |
| 13 (REF) | Reference voltage input | Accepts external reference (0 V to VCC) or connects to VCC for ratiometric operation. |
| 14 (ANLG GND) | Analog ground | Return path for analog inputs and internal ladder; critical for noise-free conversion accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software-configurable input mode | Single-ended, differential, or pseudodifferential assignment per channel via serial command - eliminates need for external op-amp circuitry. |
| Serial interface with bidirectional capability | DI and DO can share one microcontroller I/O line using tri-state timing - reduces GPIO count in resource-limited designs. |
| Ratiometric operation | VCC used as reference enables stable measurements under varying supply conditions - ideal for battery-powered sensors. |
| Low-power consumption | 0.2–0.75 mA typical ICC - extends operational life in always-on monitoring nodes and portable instrumentation. |
| TTL/MOS logic compatibility | VIH ≥ 2 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 1.6 mA sink - ensures interoperability with legacy 3-V and 5-V microcontrollers without level translators. |

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 | Legacy 8-bit ADC with identical pinout and function but includes internal Zener regulator; requires ≥4.5 V supply. | Not suitable for 3-V systems; higher supply headroom needed for internal reference generation. | Select TLV0834CDR for 3-V operation; choose ADC0834CN only if existing 5-V infrastructure prohibits redesign. |
| TLV0834CPW | TSSOP-16 package (16-pin), same electrical specs, -40°C to 85°C extended temp range, smaller footprint (5.0 × 4.4 mm vs. SOIC's 8.65 × 3.90 mm). | Better suited for high-density portable designs requiring thermal robustness beyond 70°C. | Choose TLV0834CPW for space-constrained or extended-temperature applications; TLV0834CDR preferred for cost-sensitive commercial boards with standard SOIC footprints. |
Compared with ADC0834CN and TLV0834CPW, the TLV0834CDR offers optimal balance of 3-V compatibility, SOIC manufacturability, and commercial-temperature performance-making it the default choice for new 3-V embedded data acquisition designs where board area and supply voltage are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by TLV0834CDR?
The TLV0834CDR supports up to 600 kHz clock frequency when VCC = 3.3 V, and 250 kHz when VCC = 2.7 V. At 600 kHz, conversion time reduces to approximately 13.3 µs (8 clock periods), enabling higher sampling rates in systems with stable 3.3-V supplies. The device requires a 40–60% clock duty cycle for reliable operation across the full range.
Does TLV0834CDR require an external reference voltage?
No - TLV0834CDR operates ratiometrically using VCC as its reference, eliminating the need for an external reference in most applications. However, an external voltage (0 V to VCC) may be applied to the REF pin to encode a narrower analog input span across the full 8-bit range, improving effective resolution for sub-VCC signals.
Can TLV0834CDR perform differential measurements?
Yes - TLV0834CDR supports true differential input mode across adjacent channel pairs (CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3), with programmable polarity. This enables common-mode rejection of noise and offset compensation, delivering ±1/4 LSB common-mode error performance as specified in the datasheet under differential mode conditions.
What is the meaning of "SARS" on TLV0834CDR?
SARS (Successive Approximation Register Status) is an active-high, open-drain output that goes high when conversion begins and returns low upon completion. It provides hardware-ready signaling for microcontrollers to poll or trigger interrupts, avoiding fixed-delay timing loops and ensuring deterministic data capture timing for TLV0834CDR.
Is TLV0834CDR pin-compatible with ADC0834?
Yes - TLV0834CDR is functionally equivalent to ADC0834 at 3-V supply and shares identical pinout and serial protocol, but omits the internal Zener regulator network. This makes TLV0834CDR a direct drop-in replacement in 3-V designs, while ADC0834 requires ≥4.5 V and cannot operate at 3 V.
