This application report discusses how to use a parallel ADC as a serial ADC by using a low-cost CPLD. This concept is tested with a Texas Instruments ADS8411/12 (16-bit 2 MSPS SAR ADC) and an Altera(TM) MAX 3000A CPLD. A full solution with a schematic layout and software for programming the CPLD is presented at the end of the report.
This application report presents a strategy for high-speed, economical calibration and data flash programming of the bq27350 single-cell gas gauge chipset. Flowcharts and VB6 code examples are provide
Recent low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator devices from Texas Instruments feature a new function termed ANY-OUT. With an ANY-OUT LDO, the device output voltage can be programmed by selecting th
Reliable operation of a circuit or system requires the supply voltage to be between certain limits. A voltage monitor is thus required to check the supply voltage and provide a signal to the controlled circuit to reset or re-initialize the system whenever the supply voltage has failed. For this purpose Texas Instruments developed the supply voltage supervisor series TL77xx which offers these fu
This application report explains the function and design of components connected to MOSFET?s gate terminal that limit inrush currents during insertion of a module into a live backplane when using the
