Overview
The TLV2548MFKB is a high-performance, 12-bit, low-power analog-to-digital converter (ADC) produced by Texas Instruments. This device operates from a single 3-V to 5.5-V power supply and is part of the TLV2544/48 family. It features a 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with an on-chip analog multiplexer, allowing it to select any of the analog inputs or one of three internal self-test voltages. The TLV2548MFKB is characterized for operation from −55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for a wide range of applications requiring high reliability and performance.
