The maximum sampling rate of the TLC7628CDWR is 200 kHz.
To configure the TLC7628 for differential input mode, set the DIF bit in the control register (address 0x01) to 1. Additionally, ensure that the input pins are properly connected as differential pairs.
The REF pin is the reference voltage input for the ADC. It sets the full-scale range of the converter. Typically, it is connected to a stable voltage source, such as a voltage regulator or a reference voltage generator.
No, the TLC7628CDWR is an 8-bit ADC, and it cannot be used for 12-bit or 16-bit ADC applications. If you need higher resolution, consider other ADCs from Texas Instruments, such as the TLC2543 or TLC2555.
The TLC7628CDWR has a built-in POR circuit that resets the device during power-up. To ensure proper operation, ensure that the power supply voltage (VCC) rises monotonically and reaches the minimum operating voltage (1.8 V) before applying any input signals or starting conversions.
