This application report provides a guide to designing ATCA compliant clock distribution networks using M-LVDS devices. The application report consists of a quick description of an ATCA synchronization clock interface an overview of M-LVDS standard an extensive discussion on performance of M-LVDS devices in an ATCA backplane and a set of design recommendations and rules that will assist you in bu
This quick start guide is intended to assist existing users of the MSP430 line of products in converting existing code to the new MSP430x5xx modules. While the modules operate in accordance with previ
If the input voltage to a TPS249X controlled system is reversed, The TPS249X will be destroyed and the load will be exposed to the reverse voltage. This app note proposes a solution for both. A sche
This reference design takes into account the voltage current and start-up requirements of the TMS320F280x Digital Signal Processor (DSP) families. The operating input voltage ranges from 3.4 V to 6 V. This design is a high-efficiency solution that provides two voltage rails (1.8-V core supply and 3.3-V I/O supply) and an active-low reset signal to the DSP. This design can be easily adapted to fi
During various occasions a digital amplifier can generate a click or a pop. The click is generated at changes of the operational modes of the amplifier e.g. charging ofcapacitors or mute/unmute. For Class D amplifier systems click is typically at PWM start and stop. The audibility of a click depends on the system amplifier and speaker. Also perception of the click is subjective. This
This document describes the FlatLinkE point-to-point data-transmission interface that provides better than a two-to-one reduction in the number of signal lines used for synchronous parallel data-bus structures.
The run-time support library (RTS) supplied with each TI DSP C/C++ compiler provides C language I/O (CIO) in the form of the high-level functions such as fopen and printf and the low-level functions such as open and write which use device drivers to complete CIO requests. The RTS provides a way for the user to define a new device driver. This provides an easy way to use the sophisticated bufferi
This application report discusses a circuit that can be used when a light-emitting diode is required to indicate that a port is on that is powered in a TPS2384 system.
The TMS470 family of ARM7 microcontrollers has up to five I2C ports available depending on which device is selected. The TMS470 I2C engine is very flexible and powerful. This document describes how to read and write I2C data and how to select the I2C clock rate.
This report presents two methods of sine-wave generation. The first method is a fast direct table lookup scheme suitable for applications where speech is critical. The second approach an enhancement of the first includes linear interpolation to provide higher accurate waveforms.
A small monitor program for the MSP430F1xx and MSP430F4xx microcontrollers that incorporate at least one integrated USART provides a facility for examining the device memory and updating the flash con
MSP430™ microcontroller based capacitive touch buttons can offer increased performance when properly optimized and tuned for their specific application. Performance benefits that result from but
This application report contrasts and compares the characteristics and capabilities of voltage and current feedback operational amplifiers. The report also points out the many similarities between the two versions.
