Product details
Overview
TLV2548IPWR from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 200-KSPS SAR analog-to-digital converter with built-in reference, conversion clock, and 8× FIFO. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, supports SPI/DSP serial interfaces up to 20 MHz, and features differential/integral nonlinearity of ±1 LSB. It is used in industrial data acquisition systems requiring precise, low-power digitization of up to eight analog inputs.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2548IPWR datasheet, TLV2548IPWR pinout, TLV2548IPWR application, or TLV2548IPWR equivalent, key selection considerations include its programmable sampling period (12/24 SCLK), extended sampling via CSTART pin, internal 2 V/4 V reference options, FIFO-triggered interrupt capability, and −40°C to 85°C industrial temperature rating.
Technical Context
The TLV2548IPWR implements a charge redistribution successive-approximation ADC architecture with break-before-make analog multiplexer for eight single-ended inputs. Its control logic supports four conversion modes-single shot, repeat, sweep, and repeat sweep-with configurable FIFO trigger levels and EOC/INT pin function selection.
Sampling is programmable (short/long) or hardware-controlled via CSTART; conversion clock can be sourced from internal OSC, SCLK, SCLK/2, or SCLK/4. Internal reference selection (2 V or 4 V) and external reference support enable flexible full-scale range configuration across varying supply and signal conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR - delivers 1 LSB differential/integral nonlinearity for precision measurement applications |
| Max Throughput | 200 KSPS - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 100 kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| SNR + Distortion | 70 dB at 12 kHz input - ensures high-fidelity digitization for sensor and instrumentation signals |
| Analog Supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V system rails without level-shifting |
| Input Bandwidth | 500 kHz - supports anti-aliasing filter design for DC–100 kHz signal conditioning |
| Reference Options | Internal 2 V or 4 V, or external - allows full-scale adjustment from 2 V to VCC − 1 LSB |
| Power-Down Current | 1 µA max (external ref) - enables ultra-low quiescent power in battery-operated monitoring nodes |
| Serial Interface | SPI (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) / DSP frame-sync - direct connection to TI C2000, MSP430, and ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers |
Pinout & Package
TLV2548IPWR is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP (PW) package with 0.65 mm pitch, 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body, and exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin functions are validated per SLAS198E Rev JUNE 2003.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SDO | Serial Data Output | 3-state MSB-first output; presents conversion result or FIFO content after CS↓ or FS↓ |
| SDI | Serial Data Input | Accepts 4-bit command + 12-bit configuration; supports channel select, CFR write, FIFO read |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Up to 20 MHz; serves as interface clock and optional conversion clock source (SCLK/SCLK/2/SCLK/4) |
| EOC/(INT) | End-of-Conversion / Interrupt | Configurable as EOC (mode 00 only) or INT (all other modes); asserts on FIFO threshold or conversion completion |
| VCC | Analog/Digital Supply | Single 2.7–5.5 V rail powers analog core, digital logic, and reference circuitry |
| A0–A7 | Analog Input Channels | Eight single-ended inputs; internally multiplexed; ≤1 kΩ source impedance recommended |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low; resets command counter, enables SDI, releases SDO from 3-state; must transition while SCLK = low |
| REFP / REFM | Reference Inputs | Support external reference (differential) or decouple internal reference (REFM tied to AGND) |
| PWDN | Power-Down Control | Logic-low disables analog and reference circuits; wake-up via CS, FS, or CSTART transition |
| CSTART | Asynchronous Sampling Trigger | Falling edge starts sampling; rising edge ends sampling and initiates conversion; required for extended sampling mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Programmable auto-channel sweep | Four preconfigured sequences (e.g., 0–1–2–3–4–5–6–7) enable automated multi-channel monitoring without firmware polling |
| Dual sampling control | Combines software-programmable (12/24 SCLK) and hardware-triggered (CSTART) sampling for mixed-signal timing flexibility |
| Internal reference with dual voltage | Selectable 2 V or 4 V reference eliminates external reference ICs in cost-sensitive 3.3 V or 5 V systems |
| Low-power operation | 1.0 mA at 3.3 V (external ref); 1 µA in power-down - extends battery life in portable data loggers |
| SPI/DSP dual-interface compatibility | Native support for microcontroller SPI ports and TI DSP frame-sync protocol simplifies integration across MCU and DSP platforms |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, no FIFO, 200 KSPS, SPI-only (no DSP FS), 2.7–5.25 V supply | Lacks channel sweep, FIFO buffering, and CSTART control; suited for simpler, lower-resolution monitoring | Select when 8-bit accuracy suffices and system lacks DSP interface or multi-channel automation needs |
| ADS8320EB | 16-bit resolution, 100 KSPS, no FIFO, SPI-only, 2.7–5.5 V, external reference only | Higher resolution but slower throughput and no internal reference or sweep functionality | Select when absolute precision >12-bit is required and firmware can manage channel sequencing and reference stability |
Compared with TLV2548IPWR, ADS7822U trades resolution and feature set for cost and simplicity, while ADS8320EB prioritizes resolution over speed and integration-neither provides the same combination of 12-bit accuracy, 200-KSPS throughput, FIFO, internal reference, and hardware-triggered sampling in a single 20-pin TSSOP package.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the TLV2548IPWR?
The TLV2548IPWR achieves a maximum throughput of 200 KSPS under optimal conditions-specifically when using SCLK as the conversion clock source at 20 MHz and selecting short sampling (12 SCLKs). This yields a minimum conversion time of 3.86 µs. Actual sustained rate depends on interface overhead, FIFO management, and selected conversion mode.
Does the TLV2548IPWR require an external reference voltage?
No, the TLV2548IPWR does not require an external reference voltage. It integrates an internal reference selectable between 2 V and 4 V. When using the internal reference, REFM must be tied to analog ground. An external reference may be applied differentially between REFP and REFM for enhanced accuracy or custom full-scale range.
How many analog input channels does the TLV2548IPWR support?
The TLV2548IPWR supports eight single-ended analog input channels (A0 through A7), as confirmed by its pinout, functional block diagram, and command set documentation. This distinguishes it from the TLV2544 variant, which supports only four channels. Channel selection is performed via 4-bit command codes sent on SDI.
What is the purpose of the CSTART pin on the TLV2548IPWR?
The CSTART pin on the TLV2548IPWR provides hardware-controlled extended sampling: its falling edge initiates sampling, and its rising edge terminates sampling and starts conversion. This asynchronous control decouples sampling timing from SCLK, enabling precise capture of high-impedance or noisy signals-critical in motor current sensing and sensor conditioning applications.
Can the TLV2548IPWR operate across the full industrial temperature range?
Yes, the TLV2548IPWR is characterized for operation from −40°C to +85°C, as specified in the "AVAILABLE OPTIONS" table of SLAS198E. The 'I' suffix in TLV2548IPWR denotes the industrial temperature grade, making it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory automation, outdoor instrumentation, and motor control enclosures.
