This report provides a quick reference of ac-coupling techniques for interfacing between different logic levels. The four differential signaling levels found in this report are low-voltage positive-r
This document discusses what would cause a processor access timeout message in the XDS510 emulator command window. Also discussed are issues related to the validity of the error message information.
The bq2403x Battery Charger and Dynamic Power Path Management (DPPM) IC is a highly integrated IC which minimizes the required wall adapter size by reducing the battery charging current during peak cu
When not properly limited the inrush current in low-dropout regulators (LDOs) can cause system level failures. The TPS720xx series of LDOs have a unique inrush current limit feature and a monotonic output voltage ramp which significantly eases the system level power-supply design. This application report explains how the TPS720xx inrush current limit is different from other inrush limit schemes
CMOS data acquisition and conversion products are becoming the ideal choice for microprocessorcontrolled analog systems. The use of CMOS allows the addition of more digital logic functionality on tothe same die as the analog circuitry to minimize external parts requirements. The inherently low powerconsumption is also a big factor for battery operation and low heat generation in large scale
As portable power designs get more complex the number of power supply rails are increasing. Finding a simple supervisor circuit to monitor all the voltage rails can be complicated due to the number of different rail voltages and desired SVS trip voltages. To provide a solution for the more complex designs the TPS3103 and TPS3306 can be used to monitor up to five different voltage rails. This des
The high speed high gain and fast edge rate attributes of any high-speed circuit requires you to use the high-speed printed circuit board (PCB) techniques to achieve good performance. This application report outlines the techniques to achieve this goal.
The MSP430 family of microcontrollers, as part of its broad portfolio, offers both read-only memory (ROM)-based and flash-based devices. Understanding the MSP430 flash is extremely important for effic
Although active filters are vital in modern electronics their design and verification can be tedious and time consuming. To aid in the design of active filters Burr-Brown provides a series of FilterPro computer-aided design programs. Using the FILTER42 program and the UAF42 it is easy to design and implement all kinds of active filters. The UAF42 is a monolithic IC which contains the op am
The LM3524 regulating pulse-width-modulator (PWM) is commonly used as the control element inswitching regulator power supplies. This is in keeping with its intended purpose. Engineers closelyassociate this part with switching power supplies. Nevertheless the flexible combination of elements (seebox) within the LM3524 also allows it to be used in a number of other applications outside the po
In order to achieve the best possible performance offset and gain can be often be calibrated in high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Changes in temperature PGA gain power supply voltage or most importantly decimation ratio can influence the accuracy of measurement. This application note explains how the calibration routines work and how to generate values for the full-scale re
The switch-mode power supply industry's trend towards higher conversion frequencies is justified by the dramatic improvement in obtaining higher power densities. And as these frequencies are pushed to
The UC3832 and UC3833 series of precision linear regulators includes all the control functions required in the design of very low dropout linear regulators. Also they feature an innovative duty-ratio current-limiting technique that provides peak load capability while limiting the average power dissipation of the external-pass transistor during fault conditions. A linear regulator design offers se
