This application report shows how to measure the critical points of a bode plot with only an audiogenerator (or simple signal generator) and an oscilloscope. The method is explained in an easy to followstep-by-step manner so that a power supply designer can start performing these measurements in a shortamount of time.
This application report describes how to use the existing video processing back end (VPBE) and video processing front end (VPFE) driver on the TMS320DM643x devices. The VPBE block is comprised of the on-screen display (OSD) and the video encoder (VENC) modules. The VPFE is comprised of five modules: charge-coupled device (CCD) controller (CCDC) resizer preview hardware 3A statistic generator (H
As screening programs for neonatal hearing become more common, there is a need for automatic signal processing methods to classify measured signals and results. Transient click-evoked otoacoustic emis
The AM335x power consumption summary discusses the power consumption for common system application scenarios. It features real processor power numbers from computationally-intensive tasks such as 3D graphics acceleration to less power-hungry applications like audio decoding. This document also includes power metrics for various AM335x power management techniques such as DVFS low-power modes and
AN-2227 LP5523 Evaluation Kit describes how to get the LP5523 evaluation board up and running how to use evaluationand programming software and how to get started with programming. The LP5523 provides flexibility and programmability for dimming and sequencing control. Each LED canbe controlled directly and independently through the serial bus (in other words without programming theengines
This report presents an analysis of the stability of voltage-feedback operational amplifiers (op amps) using circuit performance as the criteria to attain a successful design. It discusses several com
This application report discusses the serial peripheral interface (SPI) implementation of a data acquisition system featuring the following devices: TLV2541, TLC2551, TLC3541, and TLC4541. These analo
Structured light is the process of projecting known patterns of pixels onto an object. When combined with a synchronized camera, a structured light pattern generator can enable highly accurate 3D opt
LCDs are a growing commodity in todays market with products as diverse as children's toys to medical devices. Modern LCDs along with the graphics displayed on them are growing in complexity. A graphics library can simplify and accelerate development while creating the desired user experience. TI provides the MSP430 Graphics Library for use in developing products with the MSP430™ MCU. This
All semiconductor devices have an ESD voltage threshold above which they sustain damage. While circuit designers can provide some on-circuit ESD protection (typically in the 2000 V to 4000 V range for the human body model and in the 200 V to 300 V range for the machine model) this is well below the static voltage levels found in work areas without ESD protection. Proper ESD handling and pac
This paper describes several important ADSL AFE1302 evaluation criteria and design limitation factors including the relationship between total SNR and transmission data speed; loop attenuation variation with DMT signal frequency and its influence on the reach; the echo return loss of the hybrid circuit; and the impact of Multi-Tone Power Ratio.
