The UCC27221/2 High-Efficiency Predictive Synchronous Buck Driver from Texas Instruments employs the proprietary Predictive Gate Drive™ technology to maximize efficiencies of today's high frequency low output voltage synchronous buck converters. To gain a better understanding of this innovative new control technique a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) has been developed to addres
The USB specification revision 1.1 defines the power distribution requirements for the self-powered hubs (including hosts) bus-powered hubs and functions. This application report demonstrates how Texas Instruments power management products meet or exceed voltage regulation voltage droop and EMI requirements in the USB power distribution system.
This document discusses the power consumption of the Texas Instruments TMS320C6201B TMS320C6701 TMS320C6202 TMS320C6202B TMS320C6203 TMS320C6204 TMS320C6205 TMS320C6211 and TMS320C6711 digital signal processors (DSPs) for typical applications. The C6201B C6701 C6202 C6211 and C6711 DSPs are manufactured on TI's advanced 0.18-micron process and operate with a core voltage of 1.8 V. The
Standard electronic electricity meters (e-meters) have traditionally used a capacitive-drop power supply (capdrop) plus linear regulator topology to provide a cost-effective power supply. Today opposing forces such as an increase in load currents due to more complex AMR and AMI ommunications circuitry and tighter power consumption regulations force e-meter designers to limit consumption to belo
The DM6446 (DaVinci™) Digital Video Evaluation Module (EVM) requires a number of clock frequencies to run the system properly. The current clocking proposal of this EVM consists of a VCXO chip PI6CX100-27W a PLL chip PLL1705 several voltage level translators and a few oscillators or crystals. This application report discusses an optimized clocking proposal with Texas Instruments new clock driv
The purpose of this document is to supplement the TMS320C8x Multitasking Executive (ME) User's Guide and to provide useful guidelines for writing Parallel Processor (PP) assembly language or C code that can run under the executive. ME tasks running on the Master Processor (MP) may issue commands to the PPs. These commands are requests for the PPs to execute a routine and then optionally inte
Certain Texas Instuments (TI) products such as the 1K-bits EPROM bq2022 the battery monitor bq2023 and the security IC bq26150 require the host to be able to calculate a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) based on a specific polynomial. The purpose of this document is to briefly discuss what a CRC is how it is used within the mentioned TI products and how to implement it within a system that intera
This application report describes the implementation of a low-cost three-phase electronic electricity meter using the Texas Instruments MSP430F67641 metering processor. This application report includes the necessary information with regard to metrology software and hardware procedures for this single-chip implementation.
This document describes the change made from bq27505-J2 to bq27505-J3. The latest ordering information and data sheet are available on the TI Web site. Note: The bq27505-J2 uses firmware version 2.15 and the bq27505-J3 uses firmware version 2.20
A DSP's peripheral-specific registers can be manipulated in C. Two methods are presented for handling this task. Each method has different advantages and disadvantages. Method 1 is very useful for addressing peripheral or memory buffers that are device specific. Method 2 is preferred for addressing peripherals or memory buffers which are not device specific (i.e. peripherals are user specified).
