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.

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.
This design note explains the variations of the state transition timings of the internal <b>state machine</b> called main <b>radio controller (MARC)</b> for non-standard usage of the radio peripheral.
This article describes the use of TI's C6Flo Graphical Development Tool. C6Flo enables rapid development and prototyping of C6000 DSP systems from an intuitive block diagram viewpoint. The output of the tool is a complete DSP application written in plain C code. This generated application is ready to build or modify in a traditional development environment such as the Code Composer Studio IDE. The
