Description
IN1+
IN1-
IN2+
IN2-
PFI
Analog Input. This is the positive terminal of a true differential input consisting of IN1+ and IN1-.
V_IN1 = (IN1+ – IN-). See Section 1.0, Electrical Characteristics.
Analog Input. This is the negative terminal of a true differential input consisting of IN1+ and IN1-.
V_IN1 = (IN+ – IN-) IN1- can swing to, but not below, ground. See Section 1.0, Electrical Characteristics.
Analog Input. This is the positive terminal of a true differential input consisting of IN2+ and IN2-.
V_IN2 = (IN2+ – IN-). See Section 1.0, Electrical Characteristics.
Analog Input. This is the negative terminal of a true differential input consisting of IN2+ and IN2-.
V_IN2 = (IN+ – IN-) IN2- can swing to, but not below, ground. See Section 1.0, Electrical Characteristics.
Analog Input. This is the positive input to an internal comparator used as a threshold detector
The negative input is tied to an internal reference.
V_TH Analog Input. This is the positive input to the internal comparator used to monitor the voltage supply.
The negative input is tied to an internal reference. When V_TH falls below the internal reference, the
reset generator drives RESET low. See Section 1.0, Electrical Characteristics.
REF_IN
GND
Analog Input. The converter’s reference voltage is the differential between this pin and ground times
two. It may be tied directly to REF_OUT or scaled using a resistor divider. Any user supplied
reference voltage less than 1.25 may be used in place of REF_OUT.
Ground Terminal.
REF_OUT Analog Output. The internal reference connects to this pin. It may be scaled externally and tied to
the REF_IN input to provide the converter’s reference voltage. Care must be taken in connecting
external circuitry to this pin. This pin is in a high impedance state during Sleep mode.
SDAT
Digital Output (push-pull). This is the microPort™ serial data output. SDAT is driven low while the
TC3401 is converting data, effectively providing a “busy” signal. After the conversion is complete,
every high to low transition on the SCLK pin puts a bit from the resulting data word on the SDAT pin
(from MSB to LSB).
PFO
Digital Output (open drain). This is the output of the internal threshold detector. When PFI is less
than the internal reference, PFO is driven low.
ENABLE Digital Input. When this input control is pulled low, the part is internally restarted. That is, any data
conversion or data read sequence is cleared and the part goes into Sleep mode. When ENABLE
returns high, the part resumes normal operation.
RESET Digital Output (open drain). This is the output of the V_DD monitor reset generator. RESET is driven low
when a Power-on Reset or Brown-out condition is detected. See Section 1.0, AC Electrical Characteristics.
ADDR
Digital Input. This input controls the analog input multiplexer to select one of two input channels.
This address is latched at the falling edge of the SCLK, which starts an A/Dconversion.
(0 = Input 1, 1 = Input 2).
SCLK
Digital Input. This is the microPort™ serial clock input. The TC3401 comes out of Sleep mode and a
conversion cycle begins when this pin is driven low. After the conversion starts, each additional
falling edge (up to six) detected on SCLK for t₄ seconds reduces the A/D resolution by one bit. When
the conversion is complete, the data word can be shifted out on the SDAT pin by clocking the SCLK
pin.
V_DD Power Supply Input.
