Li-ion battery applications requiring five or more series cells can make use of standard 4-series-cell secondary protectors such as the bq2941x series. The devices can be stacked as necessary and outputs of individual devices can be combined with optocouplers to produce a single alarm signal if any cell exceeds the threshold. In addition for undervoltage protection TLV3011 nanopower comparato
This document discusses how to efficiently share memory with a DSP and a host without needing expensive dual-port RAMs. It includes a block diagram and a discussion of the bus arbitration issues.
This paper describes the implementation of the V.32bis decoding algorithm on the Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320C62xx digital signal processor (DSP). The V.32bis Viterbi decoder algorithm is based on a soft-decision maximum-likelihood decoding technique. (Details on the theory behind this algorithm are described in the TI publication DSP Solutions for Telephony and Data/Facsimile Modems literature
This document describes an IEEE 1149.1-based test integrated circuit (IC) referred to as a digital bus monitor (DBM) which emulates the functions of logic and signature test instruments. The DBM provides an embedded method of monitoring circuits at speed either on the board or at the multi-chip module level. A basic understanding of the IEEE 1149.1 standard is assumed.

This reference design is intended for users designing with the TMS320C6742 TMS320C6746 TMS320C6748 or OMAP-L132/L138 processor. Using sequenced power supplies this reference design describes a system having a 3.3-V input voltage and a high-efficiency dc/dc converter with integrated FETs for a small simple design.Sequenced power supply architectures are becoming commonplace in high-performan
This application report is intended as a guide for using an analog multiplexer to multiplex several input signals to a single high-resolution high-speed SAR analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC and the multiplexer used were the ADS8411 and the TS5A3159/3359 respectively. This document discusses the important parameters of a multiplexer and defines a few important measurements for evaluatin
This article describes how to measure ADSL transmission power spectrum density (PSD) and how to calculate signal voltage based on PSD. These calculations can help in designing over voltage protection circuits for ADSL and in debugging ADSL analog circuitry.
This power supply was designed to power the 3C25F324 starter kit. This reference design has many benefits over the existing power supply found on the starter kit demonstration board.
This application report presents the methods tips and examples for using the TLV320AIC12/13/14/15 codec in stand-alone slave mode. The TMS320C5402 DSK and the Code Composer Studio? (CCS) were used as the development platform for this DSP-codec system.
The purpose of this application report is to provide end users with a sample power dissipation calculation for typical TIA/EIA-422 and TIA/EIA-485 differential line drivers. Other topics that are addressed include worst case power dissipation and packaging/thermal considerations.
This application report describes voltage and current measurement methods using the MSP430 universal timer/port module. The report explains the two measurement methods (charge and discharge) and shows
