TLC0838CN datasheet by Texas Instruments

TLC0838CN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the TLC0838CN can handle?
  The TLC0838CN can handle clock frequencies up to 3.2 MHz.
• How do I ensure accurate conversions with the TLC0838CN?
  To ensure accurate conversions, make sure to follow proper PCB layout guidelines, use a stable clock source, and minimize noise on the analog input lines.
• Can I use the TLC0838CN in a multiplexed configuration?
  Yes, the TLC0838CN can be used in a multiplexed configuration, but you'll need to ensure that the multiplexer is properly synchronized with the ADC's conversion cycle.
• What is the recommended power-on sequence for the TLC0838CN?
  The recommended power-on sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VREF, and then the clock signal. This ensures proper initialization of the ADC.
• How do I handle overvoltage conditions on the analog input pins?
  Use external voltage limiting resistors or clamping diodes to protect the TLC0838CN from overvoltage conditions on the analog input pins.
