Product details
Overview
TLV2548QDWG4 from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 200-kSPS automotive-grade SAR analog-to-digital converter with integrated reference, conversion clock, and 8-deep FIFO. It supports SPI/DSP serial interfaces up to 20 MHz, operates from 3 V to 5.5 V, and delivers ±1.2 LSB differential/integral nonlinearity over −40°C to 125°C - used in engine control units for high-accuracy sensor signal digitization.
For engineers reviewing the TLV2548QDWG4 datasheet, TLV2548QDWG4 pinout, TLV2548QDWG4 application, or TLV2548QDWG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its Q-temp automotive qualification, programmable auto-channel sweep, hardware/software power-down modes (1 µA typ), extended sampling via CSTART pin, and dual internal reference options (2 V or 4 V).
Technical Context
The TLV2548QDWG4 implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with break-before-make analog multiplexer for 8-channel input selection. Its configurable conversion clock source (internal OSC, SCLK, SCLK/2, or SCLK/4) enables conversion times as low as 3.5 µs at 20 MHz SCLK.
It supports four conversion modes - one-shot, repeat, sweep, and repeat-sweep - with FIFO-triggered interrupt generation and programmable sampling period (12 or 24 SCLK cycles). The EOC/INT pin is software-configurable, and CSTART provides asynchronous sampling control independent of SCLK timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR ADC with unipolar straight binary output (000h = VREFM, FFFh = VREFP − 1 LSB) |
| Max Throughput | 200 kSPS - achieved using external 20-MHz SCLK with SCLK/4 clock source configuration |
| DNL/INL | ±1.2 LSB over −40°C to 125°C - ensures monotonicity and linearity in closed-loop feedback systems |
| SNR + Distortion | 65 dB at 12 kHz input - suitable for precision motor current sensing and battery voltage monitoring |
| Spurious Free DR | 75 dB at 12 kHz - minimizes harmonic interference in multi-sensor automotive subsystems |
| Supply Range | 3 V to 5.5 V single supply - compatible with both 3.3-V and 5-V microcontroller domains |
| Power Consumption | 1.7 mA at 3.3 V (internal ref), 2.4 mA at 5.5 V (internal ref); 1 µA in software/hardware power-down mode |
Pinout & Package
TLV2548QDWG4 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 0.300-inch body width and standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SDO | Serial data output | 3-state MSB-first output; presents conversion result or CFR register content after CS↓ or FS↓ |
| SDI | Serial data input | Accepts 16-bit command/data frames (4-bit CMR + 12-bit payload) for channel select, configuration, or power control |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Supports CPOL = 0 (idle low); serves as conversion clock source when configured for SCLK/4 or SCLK/2 |
| EOC/(INT) | End-of-conversion / interrupt output | Configurable as EOC (mode 00 only) or INT (all other modes); asserts on falling edge when data ready |
| VCC | Positive supply | 3–5.5 V analog/digital supply; powers internal reference, ADC core, and digital interface logic |
| A0–A7 | Analog input channels | 8 single-ended or 4 differential inputs; multiplexed via internal break-before-make switch to minimize crosstalk |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enable; resets internal counter and enables SDI/SDO; must be low during SCLK transitions for SPI compliance |
| REFP / REFM | Reference terminals | Accept external reference or decouple internal 2-V/4-V reference; require 10-µF + 0.1-µF bypass capacitors |
| FS | Frame sync input | Indicates start of DSP serial frame; enables SDI and resets counter when active low; tied to VCC if unused |
| PWDN | Power-down control | Logic-low disables analog and reference circuits; device resumes operation on next CS/FS/CSTART activation |
| CSTART | Asynchronous sampling trigger | Falling edge initiates sampling; rising edge terminates sampling and starts conversion - enables precise timing control for high-Z sources |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 4-V or 2-V reference | Eliminates external reference IC and reduces BOM count while maintaining ±1.2 LSB linearity across temperature |
| Programmable auto-channel sweep | Four sweep sequences (e.g., 0–1–2–3–4–5–6–7) enable automatic multi-sensor polling without host CPU intervention |
| Hardware/software power-down | Reduces quiescent current to 1 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Extended sampling via CSTART | Decouples sampling duration from SCLK frequency - accommodates >1-kΩ source impedances without accuracy loss |
| 8× FIFO with programmable threshold | Stores up to eight conversions; generates INT at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full level - enables burst acquisition with deterministic latency |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953QDBTR | 12-bit, 1-MSPS SAR ADC with 16-channel MUX; requires external reference; no built-in FIFO | Higher throughput but lacks integrated FIFO and auto-sweep - demands more host CPU overhead for multi-channel sequencing | Select when sampling rate >200 kSPS is required and system has spare processing bandwidth for channel management |
| MAX11131ATJ+ | 12-bit, 500-kSPS SAR ADC; internal 4.096-V reference; 8-channel MUX; no CSTART pin or programmable sweep | Superior SNR (70 dB) but missing extended sampling control - unsuitable for high-impedance sensor interfaces without external op-amp buffering | Select when highest dynamic range is critical and all sensors have ≤1-kΩ source impedance |
Compared with ADS7953QDBTR and MAX11131ATJ+, the TLV2548QDWG4 uniquely combines automotive temperature range, integrated FIFO, hardware-controlled sampling via CSTART, and programmable auto-sweep - making it optimal for resource-constrained ECUs requiring deterministic multi-sensor acquisition with minimal firmware overhead.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TLV2548QDWG4?
The TLV2548QDWG4 is qualified for operation from −40°C to 125°C and meets automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. This range is explicitly specified in the official datasheet revision October 2009 and applies to the DW package variant. It supports deployment in under-hood environments including engine control units and transmission control modules where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Does the TLV2548QDWG4 require an external reference voltage?
No, the TLV2548QDWG4 includes an internal reference that can be configured for either 2 V or 4 V via the CFR D10 bit. An external reference may be used by setting CFR D11 = 0, but it is not required. When using the internal reference, 10-µF and 0.1-µF capacitors must be placed between REFP and REFM as specified in the datasheet.
How does the CSTART pin function in the TLV2548QDWG4?
The CSTART pin provides asynchronous sampling control: its falling edge initiates sampling, and its rising edge terminates sampling and starts conversion. This decouples sampling duration from SCLK timing, enabling precise control for high-impedance sources (>1 kΩ). CSTART operation requires CS = 1 and internal reference selection for conversion modes 01, 10, and 11.
What are the supported serial interface modes for the TLV2548QDWG4?
The TLV2548QDWG4 supports both SPI-compatible (CS + SCLK + SDI + SDO) and DSP-compatible (FS + SCLK + SDI + SDO) serial interfaces. It uses CPOL = 0 (SCLK idle low) and accepts MSB-first 16-bit command/data frames. The FS pin is optional and should be tied to VCC if unused in microcontroller-based designs.
Can the TLV2548QDWG4 perform continuous channel scanning without host intervention?
Yes, the TLV2548QDWG4 supports programmable auto-channel sweep in sweep (mode 10) and repeat-sweep (mode 11) configurations. Four sweep sequences (e.g., 0–1–2–3–4–5–6–7) are selectable via CFR D(4,3), and the FIFO triggers an interrupt when filled to the programmed threshold - enabling autonomous multi-channel acquisition with minimal host CPU involvement.
