Noise reduction by filtering is the most commonly used method for improving signal-to-noise ratio. The increase in settling time however can be a serious disadvantage in some applications such as high-speed data acquisition systems. The nonlinear filter described here is a simple way to get a four-to-one improvement in settling time as compared to a conventional filter.
This application report presents a method for interfacing the DAC8806 and DAC8820 - single-channel, current-output, 14-/16-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converters - to the TMS320 series of digita
This report describes interface circuits for the TMS32010 to asynchronous inputs and to external memory devices such as external ROM or RAM. A description of hardware peripheral devices interface device produced by Pacific Microcircuits is also included which eases the TMS32010 interface to both external memory and codec devices.
In the header of most datasheet specification tables there is a qualifier for the tests defined in the table(TA = TJ unless otherwise stated). Specifically these tests are valid for the device as long as the junctiontemperature remains within the specified limits for that device.
This document describes the change made from bq27505-J1 to bq27505-J2. The latest ordering information and data sheet are available on the TI Web site. Note that bq27505-J1 uses firmware version 2.07 and the bq27505-J2 uses firmware version 2.15.
JPEG an acronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group is an ISO/CCITT-backed international standards group that defined an image-compression specification (also referred to as JPEG) for still images. The following are mandatory in JPEG specification: algorithms must operate at or near the state of the art in image-compression rates; algorithms must allow for software only implementations on a wid
Motion detection using pyroelectric passive infrared (PIR) sensor elements is a common method used for such applications. An implementation of such a system using the 16-bit Sigma-Delta ADC integrated into the MSP430F2013 to detect motion is presented in this application report.
The formalization of the IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan standard provides and infrastructure that aids test engineers and assists design engineers in the debug of hardware and software. This document provides and overview of the test standardization process and discusses a scan-based debug and integration compliant with IEEE 1149.1. The test its results and the limitations of the standard are discusse
The VCA8613 is an 8-channel variable gain amplifier ideally suited for portable and mid-range ultrasound applications. Each channel consists of a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and a Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA). The VGA contains two parts: a voltage-controlled attenuator (VCA) and a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The PGA output feeds directly into an integrated 2-pole low-pass Butterworth filter.
