TLC548CP

8-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter with Serial Interface manufactured by Texas Instruments. This ultra-compact low-power data acquisition integrated circuit packages a successive-approximation (SAR) ADC core, an internal system clock, and an advanced synchronous serial peripheral interface (SPI) into an 8-pin plastic dual-in-line package. It functions by sampling an analog input voltage waveform and converting that raw curve into highly precise 8-bit digital bytes at a swift 40,000 samples per second conversion rate, streaming the results directly to a host controller using a 3-wire serial bus protocol. It saw extensive deployment inside handheld digital measuring meters, remote industrial sensor nodes, automotive climate control tracking paths, and battery-operated field data-loggers.
