This application report presents a hardware and software solution to interfacing the ADS8345 16-bit 8-channel 100 kHz analog-to-digital converter to the C5000? fixed point 16-bit family of digital signal processors (DSP). While this application report primarily focuses on the 8-channel ADS8345 part the same solution can be utilized for the 4-channel ADS7841/ADS8341/ADS8343 and 8-channel ADS834
Industrial networks must operate reliably in harsh environments. Electrical over-stress transients caused by electrostatic discharge switching of inductive loads or lightning strikes will corrupt data transmission and damage bus transceivers unless effective measures are taken to diminish transient impact.This article gives an overview of the three most commonly applied transient immunity t
This document describes various techniques that interface buffer op amps to ADCs. These techniques provide designers with a toolkit of ideas that can be readily adapted to their application. Fully differential transformer coupled and single-ended techniques are described. Reference techniques and circuits are also described in Appendix A.
This application report discusses the fundamentals of board level reliability (BLR) (sometimes referred to in literature as “second-level reliability”) testing and modeling as applied by the Texas Instruments Embedded Processing Group.
1-Wire can be used in systems that have low speed and low power communication requirements. This application report describes the 1-Wire communication protocol, available TivaWare™ for C Series
When designing a high frequency switching regulated power supply layout is very important. Using agood layout can solve many problems associated with these types of supplies. The problems due to a badlayout are often seen at high current levels and are usually more obvious at large input to output voltagedifferentials. Some of the main problems are loss of regulation at high output current
System developers concerned about minimizing the current draw of TRF7960 -60A (and their variants) systems at startup time need guidance about handling the Regulator Control register (0x0B) value. Guidance is necessary due to the conditions under which the TRF796x/-6xA starts up with the automatic (default) setting of this register after the EN line (pin 28) is asserted from the controlling MCU
This chapter reprinted from Proceedings of the IEEE describes the origin and development of the TMS320 Family of Digital Signal Processors. The topics covered include:- An overview of the characteristics of digital signal processing- A history describing how digital signal processing has evolved over the last several decades- A description of the three generations of the TMS320 fam
This application report describes the TPS33x-xx supply-voltage supervisor (SVS) families of devices. The report gives a general introduction on generator resetting followed by an overview of the technical parameters and the special features of the TPS330x. Each feature is discussed separately. Measurements make it easy to understand SVS principles of operation. Typical applications that increase
For purposes of comparison this application report describes the key features of the TMS320DM36x (DM36x) and the TMS320DM35x (DM35x) digital media processors.
