Output voltage swing output current and slew rate interact with many other specifications in operational amplifiers. This application note develops the definitions for each parameter and the relationship between important ac parameters such as large-signal bandwidth and distortion.
The object file display (OFD) utility processes common object file format (COFF) files and converts the information contained in such files into XML format. This application note describes how to create a DSP boot image using COFF and XML files and a simple Perl script. The resulting image is a C source file which can be included into the host processor's application program and downloaded to th
The maximum input voltage rating of the bq243xx family is 30 V. However some customers like to do high-voltage pulse transient tests to prove its high-voltage capability and reliability from a system level. This pulse transient voltage could be as high as 45 V with 1-A output current limit and 200-µs pulse width. It is important for system designers to properly design the charging system wi
This application report describes how to regulate more than two white light-emitting diodes (WLED) using the TPS61150/50A high-frequency boost converter with two regulated current outputs for driving
The operation of the Texas Instruments UCD9080 is configured using programmable (flash) memory within the device. The memory can be written and read using a command protocol over a standard I2C bus interface. This document provides the hardware and software details necessary to program the UCD9080 with the configuration data. TI recommends that the configuration data be developed using the UCD9080
The very low oscillator (VLO) is a clock source included in the 2xx family of devices. This library provides a method of measuring the speed of the VLO without using any external components such as a 32-kHz crystal. Once measured the VLO can be used to trigger periodic interrupts with greater accuracy. Measuring the VLO also allows for setting the DCO to a specific frequency using a software FLL.
A prototype system for the receive signal chain of an ultrasound system is described. This prototype system is available to customers as an evaluation module that can be ordered from TI's Web site.
The DDC112 is capable of being daisy chained for use in systems with a large number of channels. To help in designing such a system this application note describes the design of a multi-DDC112 DUT board that can be used with the standard evaluation fixture DEM-DDC112U-C.
Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is a signaling method used for high-speed transmission of binary data over copper. It is well recognized that the benefits of balanced data transmission begin to outweigh the costs over single-ended techniques when signal transition times approach 10 ns. This represents signaling rates of about 30 Mbps or clock rates of 60 MHz (in single-edge clocking syst
Piezoelectric elements are used to construct transducers for a vast number of different applications. Piezoelectric materials generate an electrical charge in response to mechanical movement or vice versa produce mechanical movement in response to electrical input. This report discusses the basic concepts of piezoelectric transducers used as sensors and two circuits commonly used for signal cond
Many automotive and industrial applications require protection from a wide range of input supply insertion errors and voltage surges. Automotive voltage rails can exceed 40V during a load dump event and at the same time protection circuitry can encounter negative voltage surges below -24V during a reversal of the battery polarities. Several devices are available to block or clamp these events h
<p>This document is a high-level starting point for those wanting to design USB devices with MSP430? MCUs. It provides an overview of the TI MSP430 hardware and software offerings for USB, as well as
