The TLC2543CDW is a 12-bit 11-channel ADC from Texas Instruments in SOIC-20, using a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with switched-capacitor input. The conversion process: (1) The analog input is sampled by connecting the internal sampling capacitor to the selected AIN channel through the multiplexer for 4 I/O CLK cycles (acquisition time); (2) The capacitor is disconnected and the SAR begins binary search: the MSB is tested first, the capacitor DAC applies VREF/2 to the comparator; if the input is higher, the MSB is set; if lower, it is cleared; (3) This continues for all 12 bits, requiring 12 I/O CLK cycles; (4) The result is shifted out on DATA OUT while the next command is shifted in on DATA IN. The total conversion time is 10us (66ksps throughput at 4.1MHz I/O CLK). The 11 analog inputs can be configured for single-ended (11 channels vs GND) or differential (5 pairs) mode via the command register. The internal 2.5V reference provides 0-2.5V input range, or an external reference can be applied to REF+ for custom ranges. The EOC (End-of-Conversion) pin goes LOW during conversion and HIGH when complete, allowing polling or interrupt-driven operation. The CS (Chip Select) pin enables the SPI interface. The device uses a 16-bit SPI frame: 4-bit command (channel select + output format) shifted in during the first 4 clocks, followed by 12-bit result shifted out during the remaining 12 clocks. The output can be MSB-first or LSB-first, and the data length can be 8, 12, or 16 bits. The -CDW suffix specifies SOIC-20, commercial temperature (0C to +70C).
