The TLC1549CD is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the TLC1549 family of 10-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). It is manufactured by Texas Instruments and offers a wide range of applications, including data acquisition systems, industrial control systems, automotive sensors, and medical instruments. The following are the key features and specifications of the TLC1549CD:
1. Resolution: The TLC1549CD is a 10-bit ADC, which means it can convert analog signals into digital values with a resolution of 10 bits. This enables a total of 2^10 (1024) possible output levels, resulting in a high level of precision in converting analog signals.
2. Conversion Speed: The ADC offers a maximum conversion speed of 25 kilosamples per second (ksps). This allows for fast and real-time conversion of analog data into its digital equivalents, making it suitable for applications that require quick sampling rates.
3. Input Channels: The TLC1549CD provides a single-ended, analog input voltage channel. It converts the analog voltage applied at its input pin into a digital representation that can be processed by other digital components or microcontrollers.
4. Analog Input Range: The IC features a voltage reference input pin, allowing for flexibility in the analog input range. It supports a wide input voltage range of 0V to Vref, where Vref can be set externally within the recommended limits
