Working Principles

The TLC551CP is an 8-bit ADC that converts analog signals into digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to perform the conversion. The input voltage is compared to a reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital representation based on the comparison result. The conversion process is controlled by the clock signal provided at the CLK pin.
