It is challenging to design a good current-to-voltage (transimpedance) converter using a voltage-feedbackamplifier (VFA). By definition a photodiode produces either a current or voltage output from exposure tolight. The transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is utilized to convert this low-level current to a usable voltagesignal and the TIA often needs to be compensated for proper operation. This a
This application report presents the data flash constants for configuring the bq20z80 Smart Battery System (SBS)-compliant gas gauge device. A brief explanation of each option for the various features is included.
This document provides a brief overview of the Texas Instruments? SYS/BIOS Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and outlines how to implement SYS/BIOS on the Stellaris? Cortex?-M3 family of microcontroll
is document addresses design items to be aware of when migrating working designs among Fury-, DustDevil-, Tempest-, and Firestorm-Stellaris® microcontrollers (MCUs) and Tiva™ C Series TM4C12
This reference design is presented to help application designers and others who are trying to use the MSP430 in a system with an input voltage in the range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V, and who must increase the
Many members of the Stellaris® family of microcontrollers provide system designers with a great deal of control over the placement and selection of peripheral module signals that are alternate fun
TI’s portfolio of audio digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and coder/decoders (codecs) with integrated USB interfaces offers an excellent building block for any streaming USB audio system. When designing with the PCM270x and PCM29xx devices careful attention must be given to both the clocking and USB hardware configurations in order to ensure proper host to device communication.This applicatio
This document provides a summary of the differences between the TMS320VC5509 and TMS320VC5509A. All efforts have been made to provide a comprehensive list of the differences between the two devices, t
Although ideal digital signals are square waves in practice these signals have a trapezoidal shape that with period duration (frequency) of the recurrent signal determines their electromagnetic-interference potential. Effective electromagnetic radiation depends to signal characteristics and circuit-board design.This application report compares different technologies for data transmission wit
Many systems require a ?12 V power supply. Typical examples include analog circuits or RS-232 driver power supplies. The ?12 V typically needs to be generated from a 5 V system bus. The solutions nor
The UC1871 family of ICs is optimized for highly efficient fluorescent lamp control. An additional PWM controller is integrated on the IC for applications requiring an additional supply, as in LCD dis
Test results at a TI LVDS Multipoint (LVDM) system show that a VME backplane with an LVDM electrical layer can support signaling rates to 200 Mbps. The performance of differential with the SN65LVDM176 transceiver is characterized using a commercially-available VME card cage. Test results show how changes in bus loading influence the electrical characteristcs of a backplane and the resulting re
