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
The increase of power density has resulted in the need for accurate measurement of die junctiontemperature. This application report is a basic overview of thermal evaluation and provides an accurateevaluation method of junction temperature in a real application. The evaluation method described in thisapplication is confirmed with bench measurements. This method is proven to be easy to use an
As portable electronic devices continue to shrink in size manufacturers look for ways to push theenvelope and develop the smallest yet most functional product available. The promise of longer batterylife smaller size and an enhanced sensory experience appeals to customers. Like the voltage regulatormarket where system designers moved away from the simple but power hungry linear regulator
The Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) TMS320C62x and TMS320C67x digital signal processors (DSPs) provide a variety of boot configurations that determine which actions the DSP should perform to prepare for initialization after device reset. The boot process is determined by latching the boot configuration settings at reset.The various boot processes load code from an external ROM memory space and from
This application report gives an example of using the bq24105 charge integrated circuit to provide a high-efficiency, switching-mode charging solution for a lead-acid battery.
The ADC12038 families are 12-bit plus sign sampling ADC converters with serial I/O. These devices haveconfigurable analog multiplexers with 2 4 or 8 input channels. On request these A/Ds perform a selfcalibration routine that minimizes linearity zero and full-scale errors. To minimize power consumptionthese devices have a power down mode that can be accessed by hardware (PD pin) or by a
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an efficient computation of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and one of the most important tools used in digital signal processing applications. Because of its well-structured form the FFT is a benchmark in assessing digital signal processor (DSP) performance. The development of FFT algorithms has assumed an input sequence consisting of complex numbers.
This application report describes various boot mechanisms supported by the C6747/45/43 bootloader read-only memory (ROM) image. Topics covered include the Application Image Script (AIS) boot process an AISgen tool used to generate boot scripts protocol for booting the device from an external master device a UART Boot Host GUI for booting the device from a host PC and any limitations default s
Computer communication systems and especially the Internet are playing a rapidly, increasingly important role in our everyday environment. But today, this is not only a domain of personal computers or
