ABSTRACT This report shows how to interface the TLV2541 and TLV5636 12-bit serial-data converters to the TMS320C5402 DSP via the McBSP. It presents a hardware solution and a software solution to interface the 16-bit fixed-point TMS320C5402 DSP to read from the TLV2541 12-bit, 200-KSPS, single-channel, serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and to write to the TLV5636 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
