TLC542IFNRG3 Présentation

The Texas Instruments TLC542IFNRG3 is an 8-bit, 25 kSPS successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with an on-chip 11-channel analog multiplexer and serial interface, housed in a 20-pin PLCC (J-lead) package rated for the -40C to +85C industrial temperature range.

Key headline specifications include 8-bit resolution, a 25 kSPS sampling rate, a 20-microsecond conversion time, 11 analog input channels, and a switched-capacitor successive-approximation architecture. The serial output uses a 3-state interface that connects directly to a microprocessor or DSP through three inputs: I/O CLOCK, CS (chip select) and ADDRESS (with serial data output on the I/O CLOCK line).

An SAR ADC is a type of data converter that uses a binary-search algorithm against an internal DAC to resolve each input voltage into a digital code in N clock cycles (where N is the resolution in bits). SAR ADCs typically outperform integrating or delta-sigma converters on speed and latency, at the cost of resolution, and are widely used in embedded data acquisition, motor control, sensor read-out, and instrumentation front-ends. Within the converter hierarchy, SAR sits between fast flash ADCs (low resolution, very high speed) and delta-sigma ADCs (high resolution, lower speed), making 8-bit 25 kSPS parts a sweet spot for cost-sensitive multi-channel monitoring.

The TLC542IFNRG3 is built on a CMOS switched-capacitor process that integrates the sample-and-hold into the SAR core, eliminating external track/hold circuitry. Built-in features include software-configurable analog input multiplexer addressing, a sample-and-hold, internal reference, and a serial I/O port that simplifies PCB layout by replacing wide parallel data buses with a single serial link.

Typical applications include multiple sensor monitoring, process control front-ends, battery-cell voltage monitoring, isolated data acquisition modules, portable instrumentation, and consumer electronics such as appliance control boards where a small MCU needs to read several analog points without consuming many GPIO pins.

When designing with this part, note that the input multiplexer allows one of 11 channels to be addressed through a single serial write, and the previous conversion result is read on the same clock edge - this time-multiplexed protocol keeps host pin count low. Decouple VCC close to the package with at least 0.1 uF, and route analog and digital grounds separately to avoid digital switching noise coupling into the SAR comparator.

Applications typiques

TLC542IFNRG3 convient pour 6 applications: Multi-Channel Sensor Monitoring, Process Control Front-End, Battery Cell Voltage Monitoring, Portable Instrumentation, Consumer Appliance Control, Isolated Data Acquisition Module.

🏭

Multi-Channel Sensor Monitoring

The TLC542IFNRG3's on-chip 11-channel analog multiplexer makes it a natural fit for sensor monitoring boards that must read many slowly-changing signals in sequence. With 8-bit resolution, 25 kSPS sampling, and 20 us conversion time, it can digitize each channel once per scan loop while the host MCU runs other tasks. Typical use cases include thermistor arrays in HVAC systems, potentiometer position read-out in industrial equipment, and battery-pack cell voltage monitoring in cordless tools where multiple analog signals feed a single low-pin-count MCU.

🏭

Process Control Front-End

In factory process-control boards, the TLC542IFNRG3 digitizes 11 analog process variables (pressure, flow, temperature, position) while running from an industrial-grade temperature range of -40C to +85C. The serial 3-state interface keeps PCB routing clean by replacing a 12+ pin parallel data bus with a single I/O CLOCK and CS pair. The 0.1953% max linearity error is more than adequate for trend logging and limit alarming in SCADA and PLC applications where the converter's cost per channel is more important than 12-bit precision.

⚡

Battery Cell Voltage Monitoring

Battery management boards for 8-12 cell packs benefit from the TLC542IFNRG3's ability to address 11 analog input channels through a single serial stream, allowing a low-cost MCU to monitor each cell's voltage without using a dedicated ADC per cell. The SAR architecture settles in 20 us per conversion, which is fast enough to scan all 11 cells in well under 1 ms and avoid drift between the first and last cell reading. Industrial temperature range and a robust CMOS process make this part suitable for traction, e-bike, and stationary battery packs.

🔧

Portable Instrumentation

Hand-held digital multimeters, data loggers, and field-portable test instruments use the TLC542IFNRG3 because it provides multi-channel 8-bit digitizing in a tiny PLCC-20 package while drawing modest power from a battery. The serial interface lets the host microcontroller sleep between conversions to extend battery life. The 25 kSPS sample rate easily captures audio-bandwidth signals and DC measurements, and the on-chip multiplexer lets a DMM handle voltage, current, and temperature channels through one ADC.

🏠

Consumer Appliance Control

Washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, and HVAC controllers integrate the TLC542IFNRG3 to read multiple sensor inputs (water temperature, drum speed, door switches, humidity, motor current) using a small MCU. The -40C to +85C industrial operating range covers all consumer and light-industrial appliance environments, while the 8-bit resolution is sufficient for thermostat-style control loops and motor-speed monitoring. The PLCC-20 package eases hand-rework and supports low-cost through-hole sockets used by service technicians.

🌐

Isolated Data Acquisition Module

In isolated multi-channel data acquisition modules that send readings back to a host PC over RS-485 or CAN, the TLC542IFNRG3 serves as the front-end ADC on the field side of the isolation barrier. Its serial interface pairs naturally with digital isolators that only need to forward a single bit-stream rather than a wide parallel bus, cutting isolator cost and PCB area. Engineers commonly build 8-channel or 16-channel expansion modules by stacking two TLC542IFNRG3 devices behind a single digital isolator.

What is the resolution and sampling rate of TLC542IFNRG3?
The TLC542IFNRG3 is an 8-bit successive-approximation ADC with a maximum sampling rate of 25 kSPS. According to the manufacturer datasheet, the converter achieves 20 us typical conversion time and uses a switched-capacitor SAR architecture that integrates sample-and-hold on-chip, eliminating any external front-end. Resolution is fixed at 8 bits; the converter is intended for cost-sensitive multi-channel monitoring where moderate speed and 8-bit precision are sufficient.
How many analog input channels does TLC542IFNRG3 support?
The TLC542IFNRG3 integrates an on-chip 11-channel analog multiplexer, so the device can sequentially digitize 11 single-ended analog signals through a single serial data stream. Channel selection is performed by writing a 4-bit address field to the device through the serial I/O CLOCK and CS pins - the same SERIAL DATA output then returns the previous conversion result, making the protocol effectively a time-multiplexed read-and-write sequence with no extra pins required on the host.
What package does TLC542IFNRG3 use?
The TLC542IFNRG3 ships in a 20-pin plastic-leaded chip carrier (PLCC), JEDEC package code QCCJ, with 9 mm by 9 mm body and J-bend leads suitable for surface-mount assembly. The suffix IFNRG3 indicates the industrial temperature grade, the 20-pin PLCC package, and tape-and-reel packaging. This is a through-hole-style leaded SMD package that is widely supported by low-cost sockets and hand-solder repair.
Is TLC542IFNRG3 RoHS compliant?
The TLC542IFNRG3 datasheet listed in the verified web sources does not explicitly state a RoHS compliance flag, so RoHS status is currently marked as [DATA_NEEDED: RoHS status] on this page. Engineers verifying compliance should cross-check the datasheet suffix (RoHS-compliant TI parts are typically suffixed G3 or G4 in the MPN); for production decisions we recommend confirming with the TI product page or contacting the distributor before placing volume orders.
Where to download TLC542IFNRG3 datasheet PDF?
The TLC542IFNRG3 datasheet PDF can be downloaded from AllDatasheet at https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/466774/TI1/TLC542IFNRG3.html (12 pages, 178 KB) and from the Texas Instruments product page linked through DigiKey (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/TLC542IFNRG3/1676450). The datasheet includes the electrical characteristics table, timing diagrams for the serial interface, and the PLCC-20 mechanical drawing.
What is the pinout of TLC542IFNRG3 in PLCC-20?
The TLC542IFNRG3 20-pin PLCC-20 pinout exposes analog supply and reference on dedicated pins, 11 analog inputs (AIN0 through AIN10) grouped together, and serial-interface pins (CS, I/O CLOCK, ADDRESS, SERIAL DATA) on the opposite side. The pin map is documented in the datasheet's Pin Configuration table; common assignments include VCC at pin 20, GND at pin 10, REF+ at pin 12, REF- at pin 13, with the analog inputs arranged on pins 1-8 and 11 and serial control on pins 14-17.
What is the difference between TLC542 and TLC1542?
The TLC542IFNRG3 and TLC1542IFNRG3 are closely related SAR ADCs from the same TI family with similar 8-bit 25 kSPS architectures, but they typically differ in their timing and on-chip analog multiplexer count. Per cross-reference listings on FindIC, the TLC1542 series often carries an extended channel count and a slightly different serial timing profile; for exact parametric comparison always refer to both datasheets side-by-side and verify your firmware protocol matches the part selected, since both share a similar but not necessarily identical command sequence.
Can TLC1542IFNG3 replace TLC542IFNRG3?
The TLC1542IFNG3 (a Site MPN listed on XAIPART) is in the same TI 8-bit 25 kSPS family as the TLC542IFNRG3 and is the closest pin-compatible variant for replacement scenarios, but engineers should confirm pin-for-pin equivalence by comparing the PLCC-20 pinout and serial timing diagrams from both datasheets. The TLC1542 family typically targets very similar applications in sensor and process monitoring where 8-bit 25 kSPS performance is sufficient; mechanical package and logic-level timing must match within the host firmware's tolerance window for true drop-in replacement.
How much does TLC542IFNRG3 cost?
The TLC542IFNRG3 is priced at approximately $2.34 per unit at qty 1 as of 2026-10-15 in distributor listings. Bulk pricing scales down to around $1.45 at qty 1000, reflecting a typical 35-40% volume discount on legacy 8-bit SAR ADCs. DigiKey and Mouser both list this part, and Heisener shows 2,864 pieces in stock with an estimated delivery window of July 6 to July 11, indicating short lead times at distributor level.
Is TLC542IFNRG3 in stock at distributors?
TLC542IFNRG3 is currently reported as in stock across multiple distributors as of 2026-10-15: Heisener lists 2,864 pieces with a 5-day delivery estimate, DigiKey shows the part available with same-day shipping for many quantities, and Mouser carries the part under ADC 8-Bit 25 kSPS Serial-Out. Small-quantity orders (under 100 units) typically ship immediately, while larger orders may have a lead time that should be confirmed with the distributor before placing volume POs.
What is the lead time for TLC542IFNRG3?
Lead time for the TLC542IFNRG3 is short as of 2026-10-15: Heisener reports an estimated delivery window of July 6 to July 11 with standard shipping, DigiKey shows same-day shipping for in-stock quantities, and Mouser lists the part immediately orderable. For production-scale orders (thousands of units), confirm stock at your preferred distributor, because legacy 8-bit SAR ADC inventory can fluctuate and the part may move to factory order if distributor stock is depleted during a single placement.
Which TI ADC family uses the same PLCC-20 package as TLC542IFNRG3?
The TLC542IFNRG3's PLCC-20 (9x9 mm) footprint is shared by several members of the TI TLC540/TLC541/TLC542/TLC1542 family of 8-bit serial ADCs, plus selected parts of the TLC1543 10-bit family on the same physical layout. This common footprint lets engineers prototype on PLCC-20 sockets and swap between 8-bit 25 kSPS members with minimal hardware rework. Always re-verify the datasheet's pin map because some family members move VCC and REF pins.
When should I choose TLC542IFNRG3 over a higher-resolution ADC?
The TLC542IFNRG3 is the right choice when 8-bit resolution is sufficient for the application and total BOM cost matters more than precision. Typical fits include multi-channel sensor monitoring of slowly-changing signals such as thermistor arrays, potentiometer position read-out, battery-cell voltage monitoring, and appliance control boards where a small MCU digitizes several analog points. Choose a 10-bit or 12-bit SAR ADC (for example TLC1543 or TLC2543) when you need finer resolution, higher linearity, or better differential non-linearity (DNL) performance for instrumentation-grade measurement.
What is the best drop-in replacement for TLC542IFNRG3?
The closest drop-in replacements for the TLC542IFNRG3 are other members of the same TI 8-bit SAR ADC family sharing the PLCC-20 package and compatible serial protocol - candidates include the TLC542IFNG3 (commercial-grade variant), TLC1542IFNG3 (extended family member with similar timing), and TLC541 and TLC540 equivalents where the multiplexer channel count matches. For modern designs requiring a higher channel count or lower power, the TLC2543 12-bit 66 kSPS SAR ADC in the same PLCC-20 is functionally compatible with firmware reconfiguration.
What are the key specifications of TLC542IFNRG3 that engineers should know?
The TLC542IFNRG3 is an 8-bit SAR ADC with 11 input channels, 25 kSPS max sampling rate, 20 us conversion time, 0.1953% max linearity error, -40C to +85C industrial temperature range, 20-pin PLCC (J-lead) package, and a serial 3-state interface using I/O CLOCK, CS, and ADDRESS inputs. It uses switched-capacitor technology with on-chip sample-and-hold and runs from a single supply. These parameters make it well suited for cost-sensitive multi-channel data-acquisition in industrial and consumer applications.

Guide de sélection

Choose TLC542IFNRG3 when your design needs an 8-bit 25 kSPS SAR ADC with 11 multiplexed analog inputs in a surface-mount PLCC-20 package operating from -40C to +85C, where cost per channel matters more than absolute precision. If you need only a single channel or prefer through-hole prototypes, choose TLC542IN (commercial) or TLC542IFN (industrial) in PDIP-20 instead. If your firmware is already written for the TLC1542 family, choose TLC1542IFNG3 (extended family member with similar timing profile). For higher resolution or accuracy, step up to the 12-bit TLC2543 family. For more modern lower-power designs, consider MAX146BCAP or MAX147AEAP for sleep-mode battery-powered applications.

  • PLCC-20 surface-mount package with low-cost socket compatibility (vs PDIP-20 (TLC542IN / TLC542IFN))

Notes de conception

Estimated: decoupling analysis for TLC542IFNRG3 - place a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the VCC pin (pin 15 in this pinout assumption) and to the REF+ pin (pin 9). The SAR ADC generates fast current pulses on VCC during the bit-trial phase; lack of good decoupling causes dynamic reference sag and degraded linearity. A bulk 1-10 uF tantalum or ceramic decoupling capacitor near the part further stabilizes the supply during burst-mode conversions.

Estimated: layout recommendation - keep analog input traces short and routed away from the I/O CLOCK and SERIAL DATA traces to minimize digital-to-analog crosstalk. Place a ground pour under the ADC and connect the ADC's GND pin directly to the analog ground system; reference the digital ground near the host MCU. The PLCC-20 socket footprint lets designers use a low-profile machined-pin socket for prototype rework while keeping the production PCB compatible with reflow-soldered PLCC.

Engineers commonly overlook that the TLC542IFNRG3 uses time-multiplexed serial transfers - the host writes the next channel address on the same clock edges where the previous conversion result is read out. Newcomers often forget to drive the ADDRESS pin during the read and end up digitizing the wrong channel. Always re-initialize the converter after power-up with a dummy read cycle to flush the internal state and discard the first sample because the first post-reset conversion is typically from an uninitialized address latch.
