This application report discusses a circuit that can be used when a light-emitting diode is required to indicate that a port is on that is powered in a TPS2384 system.
The TMS470 family of ARM7 microcontrollers has up to five I2C ports available depending on which device is selected. The TMS470 I2C engine is very flexible and powerful. This document describes how to read and write I2C data and how to select the I2C clock rate.
This report presents two methods of sine-wave generation. The first method is a fast direct table lookup scheme suitable for applications where speech is critical. The second approach an enhancement of the first includes linear interpolation to provide higher accurate waveforms.
A small monitor program for the MSP430F1xx and MSP430F4xx microcontrollers that incorporate at least one integrated USART provides a facility for examining the device memory and updating the flash con
MSP430™ microcontroller based capacitive touch buttons can offer increased performance when properly optimized and tuned for their specific application. Performance benefits that result from but
This application report contrasts and compares the characteristics and capabilities of voltage and current feedback operational amplifiers. The report also points out the many similarities between the two versions.
The TMS320VC5410 is a high performance highly integrated member of TI's growing 'C54x product line. The 'VC5410 delivers 80 or 100 MIPS performance with a 2.5V core power supply (I/O voltage remains at 3.3V). The 'VC5410 devices provide 64K words of on-chip SRAM 16K words of on-chip ROM 3 multi-channel buffered serial ports a host port interface and a timer. The 'C5410 was developed to servic
In 1995 several teams of EFREI students submitted a project to the Texas Instruments DSP Challenge. This paper describes the adventure of one project which passed with success the European semi-finals to go and participate to the worldwide final in May 1996 in ATLANTA.The winning project deals with the Digital Signal Processing (hardware and software) associated with a new class of a Digital
This application report provides several recommended power management solutions for the Intel™ StrataFlash™ Embedded Memory (P30). Intel has migrated from its third-generation 180-nm J3 process to its fourth-generation 130-nm P30 process on flash memory and will be discontinuing the older J3 256-Mb memory. Migrating from J3 memory to the P30 Embedded Memory allows systems to operate at
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.
