GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC3405 is a low cost, low power analog-to-digital
converter based on TelCom’s Sigma-Delta technology. It
performs 16-bit conversions (15-bit plus sign) at up to eight
per second. The device is optimized for use as microcontroller
peripherals in low cost, battery operated systems. A voltage
reference is included, or an external reference can be used.
A VDD monitor with reset generator provides Power-On
Reset and Brown-out protection.
The TC3405’s 2-wire MicroPortdigital interface is
used for starting conversions and for reading out the data.
Driving the SCLK line low starts a conversion. After the
conversion starts, each additional falling edge (up to six)
detected on SCLK for t4 seconds reduces the A/D resolution
by one bit and cuts conversion time in half. After a conver-
sion is completed, clocking the SCLK line puts the MSB
through LSB of the resulting data word onto the SDAT line,
much like a shift register. The parts automatically sleep
when not performing a data conversion.
The TC3405 is available in PDIP and QSOP packages.
