Grid connected applications require an accurate estimate of the grid angle to feed power synchronously to the grid. This is achieved using a software phased-locked loop (PLL). This application report
The fundamental challenge of power supply design is to realize simultaneously two conflicting objectives: good electrical performance and low cost. The UC3842/3/4/5 control ICs are integrated pulse-width modulators (PWMs). These inexpensive IC controllers provide all the performance advantages of current-mode operation. In addition the UC3842 series is optimized for efficient power-sequencing of
The bq208x (bq2083 bq2084 and bq2085) products are high-precision advanced gas gauge products for battery monitoring and management. Because the current signal ismeasured through a small sense resistor (< 20 m?? to minimize power loss compensation for the ADC input offset is critical for the accuracy of the measurement. This application note discusses common issues associated with board offse
The Stellaris® on-chip clock failure detection circuitry allows a microcontroller to respond appropriately if the main crystal oscillator stops functioning. This capability can be extended to situations in which the crystal oscillator fails due to an open or short circuit.
Radio networks such as those used by emergency services or public transportation transmit across a narrow bandwidth thus requiring low transmission rates. This document describes the channels and transmission method of these existing networks. Applying complex algorithms to code images allows development of a source codec. This codec uses multiple TMS320C40 32-bit parallel digital signal proces
The ADS7809 is part of a family of capacitive redistribution SAR A/D converters that feature a serial output and a tag pin for cascading multiple converters. Other members of this family include the ADS7806 ADS7807 ADS7808 ADS7824 and ADS7825. Note that the even numbered converters are 12-bit converters and the odd numbered converters are 16-bit converters.
This application report describes the error detection and correction mechanism of the C64x+/C674x megamodule L1P and L2 memories implemented on some devices. Depending on the type of application these mechanisms are used to either provide diagnostic measures to detect faults in the memory that could lead to unacceptable risk for the user or to increase the availability of the system.
This application report is a general guide for using the CDCE421 from Texas Instruments as a frequency synthesizer for data communications. This report explains the basic functionality and methods for using the device efficiently. The document concludes with several recommendations for line termination and power-supply decoupling.
The goal of this document is to introduce a wide range of theories and topics that are relevant to high-speed, analog-to-digital converters (ADC). This document provides details on sampling theory,
This application report provides a summary of the main changes required for porting an application written on the Hercules™ TMS570LS20x/10x series of microcontrollers over to the Hercules TMS570LS31x/21x series of microcontrollers. A brief description of the process technology differences is also included.
It is not uncommon for the system designer to face a quagmire of reconciling the system complexity withthe desire to keep the system footprint small. One specific example that often arises in the context ofsmall system footprint is the need for single master controller to communicate with a number of slavedevices. This is not much of a problem if the master controller has multiple I/O resour
