The serial peripheral interface (SPI) and the multichannel buffered serial port (McBSP)provide serial communication between devices such as microcontrollers DSPs DACs andADCs. Typically these serial interfaces are single-ended and are in close proximity. Differential line circuits increase the allowable distance between devices while maintaining data integrity. This report describes RS-485
The Texas Instruments Impedance Track™ (IT) fuel gauge is designed for reporting remaining battery capacity and run time accurately. To effectively accomplish this reporting a real application environment must be used for test results. The test board should be designed as similar to the real application circuit as possible. This application report outlines the procedure for implementing an accurac
GTL and BTL transceivers provide high-performance excellent signal integrity and cost-effectiveness in high-speed backplane and point-to-point applications. This document discusses the GTL and BTL devices input/output (I/O) structure power consumption simultaneous switching slew rate and signal integrity. Design considerations for using these devices are provided.
This application report provides the necessary information in order to use the voltage sensor of the CC112x and CC120x family. The voltage sensor can be used to monitor the supply and battery voltage (VDD).
The TMS320F2837x and TMS320F2807x microcontrollers provide facilities for interfacing to external SDRAM memory through two external memory interface modules. The address space for this memory lies bey
This document discusses how to design an operational amplifier (op amp) with both gain and dc offset. The design requires no theory and very little math just working designs.
The TPS54120 is an integrated switcher and low-dropout (LDO) regulator optimized for high efficiencies and a low-noise output. This application report describes how to use the Enable Power Good and Slow Start pins in tracking and sequencing applications. Three different tracking and sequencing methods are described in this report: sequential ratiometric and simultaneous. Each of these methods
This application report applies to current designs using the Texas Instruments ADS7813 device in a surface-mount SO-16 (DW) package. This document guidesusers of the ADS78xx device with regards to potential compatibility issues that can be encountered when upgrading to the new ADS85xx part series.
This application note describes how a 120 MHz sample rate multi-channel digital down-conversion system can beimplemented using GRAYCHIP GC2011 Digital Filter and GC4014 Quad Digital Receiver chips.
The CC1190 is a range extender for 850-950 MHz RF transceivers transmitters and wireless microcontrollers (MCUs). It increases the link budget by providing a power amplifier (PA) for increased output power and a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with low noise figure for improved receiver sensitivity in addition to switches and RF matching for simple design of high performance wireless systems.
The Texas Instruments (TI))(tm) TMS320 digital signal processor (DSP) floating-point ANSI C compiler generally uses a conventional mechanism for passing arguments and allocating local variables. Nevertheless the programmer has several options to pass arguments to a function to allocate automatic variables and to return a value from a called function. If the programmer uses only the C langua
Two of the most important specifications for a voltage reference are noise and stability with time. The zener-based REF102 10.0V voltage reference has much better noise and stability than band-gap-based references.
This application report studies the implementation of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) on TMS320C6000?(C6000) family of processors. C source code from the public domain was optimized using the version 3.01 Optimizing C Compiler. Data rates on the C6201 (200 MHz) are measured at 53 Mbits per second for DES and 22 Mbits per second for triple-DES. Data rates on the C6211 (150 MHz) device are measur
