Introduction
The TLC2551 ADC requires a falling clock edge while the chip select pin is in the high state in
order to release the output data. This requirement can be satisfied by writing to a second device
on the serial bus, while holding the ADC’s chip select pin high. This application report describes
how to use the TLC2551 ADC in conjunction with the TLV5616 DAC, creating a complete data
acquisition system.
In this application report, an I/O pin on the microprocessor is assigned to perform the duties of
frame sync for the digital to analog converter. The DAC’s chip select pin is permanently held
low. An alternative approach would be to use the inverted output of the SS/CS pin from the
microcontroller as the DAC chip select.
The output from the TLV5616 can be used as the feedback signal in a control loop or as a
system monitor.
