This application report is aimed at digital signal processor (DSP) software development engineers working with image processing algorithms. The report focuses on the conversion process using data format converting utilities supporting the Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) TMS320 (C1x/C2x/C2xx/C5x/C54x) fixed-point digital signal processor (DSP) in COFF format.Basically two main software tools are re
This application report covers the design of a Sallen-Key (also called KRC or VCVS [voltage-controlled, voltage-source]) lowpass biquad with low component and op amp sensitivities. This method is val
This application report discusses how to use the TLV320AIC33 audio data port's time-division multiplexing (TDM) function to connect interface and run four TLV320AIC33 codec devices simultaneously under the control of a single host processor. Four TLV320AIC33 EVM boards and one USB-MODEVM board were used to test the interface and function.
This application report describes a low-power pedometer example application that uses an MSP430F5229 microcontroller and the TI Pedometer firmware algorithm. This application was developed and targeted for the health and fitness markets.Fitness monitors typically measure both a person's amount and rate of exercise (traveled distanced and pace) as well as effort expended (calories burned in the p
The Boot to One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory mode in the TMS320x280x devices provides the necessary hooks to support custom bootloaders. This is very useful in a situation where a bootloader option required by a specific customer application is not already supported as one of the built-in options in the Boot read-only memory (ROM). This application report includes information and examples on h
The LMZ10501 and LMZ10500 nano modules offer excellent EMI performance. The evaluation board withthe default components complies with the CISPR 22 Class B radiated emissions standard. Adding twosmall 0.1μF 0805 input capacitors results in CISPR 25 Class 5 radiated emissions standard compliance.The addition of a small LC filter (1μH and 1μF) to the input of the default evaluation board result
Peer-to-peer (P2P) is one of the three modes supported by the TRF7970A. The Near Field Communication (NFC) market is emerging into multiple fields including Medical, Consumer, Retail, Industrial, Auto
The FPD-Link chipset architecture in conjunction with the LVDS technology provides the high bandwidth interface necessary for leading edge display technology. The conversion from parallel TTL to seria
This application note presents a software and hardware interface of the ADS8383 18-bit 500 kHz analog-to-digital converter to the TMS320C6711 DSP. The hardware platform used to develop this application is ADS8383EVM and TMS320C6711 DSK. The software developed reads 1024 blocks of samples continuously from ADS8383. In an effort to reduce development time the source code is available on TI's websit
The output voltage of a linear regulator tends to rise quickly after it is enabled. This often results in the nonmonotonic rise of the output voltage (i.e., the output voltage overshoots, then dips),
Unbuffered multiplexed ratiometric analog-to-digital converters (ADC) have strict requirements on driving source impedance that are not always obvious. This application report addresses the trade-offs
The Flash-programmable 16-MHz MSP430AFE253 device developed by Texas Instruments is a highly flexible and powerful single-chip mixed-signal measurement device targeting electricity meter and sub-meter applications. In such applications high reliability and accuracy of better than 0.1% is often required.This applicaton report demonstrates robust real-time embedded software running on the MSP43
The TPS61040 is a highly integrated, low-power, boost converter capable of delivering output voltages up to 28 V with input voltages up to 6 V. However, using an external transistor in a cascode confi
