Product details
Overview
TLV2548MFKB from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 200-KSPS SAR analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated reference, conversion clock, and 8× FIFO. It operates from a single 3-V to 5.5-V supply, supports SPI/DSP serial interfaces up to 20 MHz, and delivers ±1.2 LSB differential/integral nonlinearity over −55°C to 125°C - designed for high-reliability automotive sensor signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2548MFKB datasheet, TLV2548MFKB pinout, TLV2548MFKB application, or TLV2548MFKB equivalent, key selection considerations include its extended sampling via CSTART pin, programmable auto-channel sweep modes (sweep/repeat sweep), internal 2-V/4-V reference options, hardware/software power-down (1 µA typ), and Q-Temp automotive qualification.
Technical Context
The TLV2548MFKB uses a charge redistribution SAR architecture with break-before-make analog multiplexer supporting 8 single-ended or 4 differential inputs. Its configurable conversion clock source (internal OSC, SCLK, SCLK/2, or SCLK/4) enables conversion times as low as 2.8 µs when using a 20-MHz SCLK.
It implements four conversion modes (one-shot, repeat, sweep, repeat sweep) with FIFO-triggered interrupt generation and supports both microprocessor (SPI) and DSP (FS-synchronized) host interfaces. Sampling period is programmable (12 or 24 SCLKs) or fully hardware-controlled via CSTART for precise timing in high-impedance or variable-source applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR - delivers 1 LSB = VREF/4096 quantization step for precision sensor digitization. |
| Max Throughput | 200 KSPS - supports real-time monitoring of fast-changing analog signals like engine knock or motor phase current. |
| INL/DNL Error | ±1.2 LSB (−55°C to 125°C) - ensures monotonicity and minimal code missing across full automotive temperature range. |
| SNDR | 65 dB at fi = 12 kHz - sufficient for 10.7-bit effective resolution in noise-sensitive automotive control loops. |
| Supply Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard automotive 3.3-V and 5-V domains without level-shifting. |
| Power Consumption | 1.7 mA at 3.3 V (internal ref); 1 µA in software/hardware power-down - enables low-quiescent-current ECU subsystems. |
| Analog BW | 500 kHz - supports anti-aliasing filter design for signals up to Nyquist (100 kHz at 200 KSPS). |
Pinout & Package
TLV2548MFKB is housed in a 20-pin LCCC (FK) ceramic package with side-brazed leads, rated for high-reliability automotive operation and qualified per AEC-Q100.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SDO | Serial data output | 3-state MSB-first output; presents conversion result or CFR content after CS/FS trigger - enables daisy-chaining or shared bus use. |
| SDI | Serial data input | Accepts 16-bit command + configuration data (e.g., A000h for initialization); supports both SPI (CS-triggered) and DSP (FS-triggered) protocols. |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Up to 20 MHz; serves as interface clock and optional conversion clock source (SCLK, SCLK/2, SCLK/4) - decouples I/O speed from conversion timing. |
| EOC/(INT) | End-of-conversion / interrupt output | Configurable as EOC (mode 00 only) or INT (all other modes); asserts on data-ready - synchronizes host CPU reads without polling. |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enable for serial interface; resets internal counter and enables SDI/SDO - required for SPI mode; can be held low in DSP mode with active FS. |
| CSTART | Asynchronous sampling start | Falling edge initiates sampling; rising edge ends sampling and starts conversion - provides deterministic, SCLK-independent timing for high-Z sources. |
| PWDN | Power-down control | Logic low disables analog and reference circuits; device resumes on CS/FS/CSTART activation - supports ultra-low-power sleep states. |
| REFP / REFM | Reference voltage terminals | Support external reference (differential input) or decouple internal 2-V/4-V reference; require 10 µF + 0.1 µF bypass capacitors - ensures stable reference under EMI-prone conditions. |
| A0–A7 | Analog input channels | 8 single-ended inputs (or 4 differential pairs); multiplexed via internal MUX - enables multi-sensor acquisition (e.g., temp, pressure, position) with one ADC. |
| FS | Frame sync input | Indicates start of serial data frame in DSP mode; resets internal counter - aligns ADC timing with TMS320-series processor DMA cycles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable auto-channel sweep | Four sweep sequences (0–7, 0–2–4–6, etc.) with FIFO-triggered INT - reduces host CPU overhead in multi-sensor diagnostics. |
| Built-in reference & conversion clock | Selectable 2-V or 4-V internal reference; internal OSC or SCLK-derived conversion clock - eliminates external components and simplifies BOM. |
| Hardware-controlled extended sampling | CSTART pin enables user-defined sampling duration independent of SCLK - critical for accurate digitization of high-impedance thermistors or piezoelectric sensors. |
| 8× FIFO with configurable trigger levels | FIFO fill thresholds at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full (levels 1, 3, 5, or 7) - allows flexible interrupt latency tuning for real-time control vs. data logging trade-offs. |
| Q-Temp automotive qualification | Tested and qualified from −55°C to 125°C with configuration control and print support - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for engine bay and transmission modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit automotive ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7816UB | 12-bit, 200-KSPS, SPI-only interface; no FIFO, no CSTART, no internal reference; requires external ref and clock. | Lacks auto-sweep, extended sampling, and power-down modes - suitable only for simple single-channel acquisition. | Choose ADS7816UB only if board space is constrained and system already provides precision reference/clock; TLV2548MFKB offers higher integration and automotive robustness. |
| MAX11131ATJ+ | 12-bit, 500-KSPS, internal reference, SPI interface; no FIFO, no CSTART, no automotive temp grade (−40°C to +125°C only). | Higher speed but lacks FIFO buffering and extended sampling - insufficient for multi-sensor sweep or high-Z sensor timing control. | MAX11131ATJ+ fits high-speed single-channel needs but cannot replace TLV2548MFKB in Q-Temp or FIFO-dependent automotive designs. |
Compared with ADS7816UB and MAX11131ATJ+, the TLV2548MFKB uniquely combines Q-Temp qualification, 8× FIFO, CSTART-controlled sampling, and dual internal references - making it the only option for production automotive systems requiring simultaneous multi-channel acquisition with deterministic timing and ultra-low-power sleep.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TLV2548MFKB?
The TLV2548MFKB is characterized for operation from −55°C to 125°C and is Q-Temp qualified for high-reliability automotive applications. This extended range exceeds standard industrial grades and supports placement in engine compartments, transmissions, and powertrain control modules where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Does the TLV2548MFKB require an external reference voltage?
No, the TLV2548MFKB includes selectable internal reference voltages of 2 V or 4 V, eliminating the need for external reference components in most applications. External reference operation is supported via REFP/REFM pins when higher precision or custom voltage scaling is required, but internal reference usage simplifies design and reduces BOM cost.
How does the CSTART pin function in the TLV2548MFKB?
The CSTART pin provides asynchronous, hardware-controlled sampling initiation in the TLV2548MFKB. Its falling edge starts sampling; rising edge ends sampling and triggers conversion - enabling precise, SCLK-independent timing for high-impedance sensors. This feature is essential for accurate acquisition from thermistors, RTDs, or piezoelectric elements where source impedance exceeds 1 kΩ.
What are the supported conversion modes in the TLV2548MFKB?
The TLV2548MFKB supports four conversion modes: one-shot (single conversion), repeat (repeated sampling of one channel), sweep (sequential sampling of programmed channel list), and repeat sweep (cyclic multi-channel acquisition). All modes except one-shot use the 8× FIFO and generate interrupts upon reaching configurable fill thresholds - optimizing host CPU efficiency in sensor-rich automotive systems.
Is the TLV2548MFKB pin-compatible with other devices in the TLV254x family?
Yes, the TLV2548MFKB shares identical pinout and functionality with the TLV2548QDW (20-SOIC) and TLV2544QD (16-SOIC), differing only in package type (20-LCCC FK) and temperature qualification (−55°C to 125°C vs. −40°C to 125°C). The pin mapping, register structure, command set, and electrical behavior are fully consistent across the family - enabling drop-in replacement in Q-Temp designs.
