General layout guidelines for printed circuit boards (PCB) which exist in relatively obscure documents are summarized. Some guidelines apply specifically to microcontrollers; however the guidelines are intended to be general and apply to virtually all modern CMOS integrated circuits. This document covers most known and published layout techniques as applied in a low-noise unshielded environ
This document provides a comprehensive reference for implementing the LMX9838 module into a system.The Texas Instruments LMX9838 Bluetooth® Serial Port module is a fully integrated Bluetooth 2.0baseband controller 2.4 GHz radio crystal antenna LDO and discretes combined to form a completesmall form factor (10 mm x17 mm x 2.0 mm) Bluetooth node.
This application report describes how to develop a real-time system for producing lung sound spectrographs and other analyses using the Texas Instruments (TI?) TMS320C30 (C30) digital signal processor
The TPS65381 is a multi-rail power supply designed to supply microcontrollers in safety criticalapplications such as those found in automotive. The devices supports Texas Instruments TMS570LSseries 16/32-Bit RISC Flash MCU and other microcontrollers with dual-core lockstep (LS) or loosely coupled architectures (LC).
This application report presents an overview on the differences among the TPS6501x family members. Devices included are the TPS65010, TPS65011, TPS65012,TPS65013, and TPS65014. It is intended to assis
To help meet the rising demand for easier interfacing between analog-to-digital converters and microprocessors the complementary MOS 8-bit ADC0801-05 has been designed to accommodate almost all of today's popular microprocessors. It requires only a single 5 V supply and is low power to boot. With a span accommodation down to 180 mV this 8-bit unit can also replace a 12-bit analog-to-digital dev
The SWIFT™ TPS54610 externally compensated synchronous buck regulator makes designing a power solution quick and easy. The SWIFT Designer softwre tool is a resource that can greatly reduce design time by providing a complete power supply solution with only a few clicks of a mouse. The design methods presented in this application note are similar to the design methods used by the SWIFT Desi
This application note describes various electrical and thermal performance considerations for TI's CDCLVP110. In addition it provides recommendations for PCB layout as well as optimizing power consumption in a real system application. Finally it shows examples of how to estimate the worst case chip temperature.
Pack based charging and discharging schemes cannot fully address the problems associated with capacity imbalance of the series cells. Balancing at the cell level is needed to maximize pack performance. PowerPump™ Cell Balancing is a feature provided in the bq78PL114 and bq76PL102 PowerLAN™ devices that transfers charge between cells using a boost-type power converter topology. Results are faster a
The DSP Hardware Designer's Resource Guide is organized by development flow and functional areas to make your design effort as seamless as possible. Topics covered include getting started, board desig
This application report presents phase noise data taken on the CDCE72010 jitter cleaner and synchronizer PLL device. The phase noise performance of the CDCE72010 depends on the phase noise of the reference clock VCXO clock and the CDCE72010 itself. This application report shows the phase noise performance at several of the most popular CDMA frequencies. This data helps the user to choose the rig
A Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller is available on select members of the TMS320C5000 family of digital signal processors (DSPs). The DMA controller is used to transfer data to/from internal memory internal peripherals or external devices independent of the CPU. There are six independent DMA channels available allowing six different contexts for DMA operation. This application report expla
Designers of switching power supplies commonly specify MOSFET switches and therefore need control circuits with outpus capable of directly driving MOSFET switches. The TL598 control circuit was designed with this capability to avoid any need for additional output circuitry. After functionally describing the TL598 this report directs the designer through a complete dc-to-dc converter design using
