This application report presents a strategy for high-speed economical calibration and data flash programming of the bq3060 advanced gas gauge. VB6 code examples are provided.
Telecommunication channels cannot be monitored in an operational mode with traditional instrumentation systems. For example, transmission anomalies are usually not detected, which affects the quality
This application report discusses the design of a single-touch capacitive sensor interface using the MSP430 microcontroller. With ultra-low power features and integrated peripherals, integrating a sin
C-callable assembly routines require an understanding of parameter-passing conventions and environments expected by the C compiler. This application report provides instructions and suggestions to con
This application report discusses the different aspects of the Overture series high-power solutions anddiscusses three application circuits: parallel bridged and bridged/parallel configurations.
The TMS320C2xx generation from Texas Instruments brings the power of digital signal processing to designers of high performance cost sensitive emerging applications. Combining high performance with ultra-low cost the 'C2xx generation offers the most optimal balance of price and performance of any DSP in the industry.
Today, DSP developers often find it difficult and time consuming to find the compiler options that optimize both speed performance and code size. In most cases, when performance increases, so does cod
This application note describes some of the requirements for successful powerline communications starting with the media and progressing towards more detailled specifications of the amplifier. The goal of this report is to increase the reader's understanding of the physics of the media and the line driver and to describe the corresponding implications for both the line driver and the overall sy
This report summarizes the results of PCIe Gen 3.0 add-in card compliance testing using TI’s low-power 12.5 Gbps 8-channel advanced linear repeater. The advanced linear repeater is placed in a mid-channel configuration between a PCIe Gen 3.0 graphics card and a compliance base board (CBB) and tested for jitter eye mask and TX preset compliance. The results demonstrate the excellent signal condit
Modern trends are driving the need for lower supply voltages across many system-level designs. As most processor voltage levels continue to decrease in the interest of achieving the lowest possible power consumption peripheral devices maintain a need for higher voltage levels creating potential for voltage discontinuities within a system. To remedy this mixed voltage system incompatibility a vo
This application report discusses the power consumption of the Texas Instruments TMS320DM368 digital media System-on-Chip (DMSoC). Power consumption on the DM368 device is highly application-dependent; therefore a spreadsheet that estimates power consumption is provided along with this document. To obtain good results from the spreadsheet realistic usage parameters must be entered (see Section 2
This document provides a guide for the use of the ePWM module to provide 0% to 100% duty cycle control and is applicable to the TMS320x280x family of processors.
This application report shows that increasing the slew rates of the winding currents in a bipolar stepper motor pushes the motor to deliver more torque at high speeds. Simple voltage drives L/R drives and chopper drives are explained. L/R drives and chopper drives achieve slew rates higher than those achieved by simple voltage drives. Finally an example chopper drive is presented.
This design note describes a linear regulator capable of maximizing the performance of digital systems. It uses a UC3833 precision linear controller. This IC includes all of the functions required to
