Compensating a DC-DC buck converter is challenging if the designer is not familiar with the loop control theory. To achieve a stable design under all corner and adverse conditions, the user must prope
This application report illustrates the use of the TPS2300/2301/2310/2311 for a common dual 5-V/3.3-V application. The TPS2300/2301/2310/2311 are dual-channel, hot-swap controllers that eliminate high
This application report illustrates how to generate sine waves using the versatile programmable high-end timer (N2HET) and its companion data transfer unit (HTU). The code example can be run in either the Hercules hardware development kit (HDK) or the Launchpad™ development kit. The application report shows the N2HET program examples the steps to setting up the N2HET and HTU registers as we
Electrical overstresses can cause failure permanent degradation or temporary erratic behavior of electronic devices or systems. The trend to reduce circuit geometries for communication systems and applications results in an increasing sensitivity to such electrical transients. The suppression of these transients can be a challenge to designers because the origin and severity of the overvoltage m
The TLV320AIC1110 is one of the high-performance codecs from Texas Instruments (TI) designed for easy use in various voice-band communication applications. It is an enhanced codec with more control capabilities. This application report provides the user with a simple coding example that facilitates the interface of this codec with the TMS320C5402™ DSP. The example code provides a good bas
The bq2060 is a Smart Battery System (SBS) 1.1-compliant gas-gauge IC for battery-pack or in-system installation. It maintains an accurate record of available charge in rechargeable NiCd NiMH Li-ion lead acid and other battery chemistries. This application note provides additional information and recommendations for voltage-to-frequency converter offset calibration and digital-filter threshold
Operation of op amps from single supply voltages is useful when negative supply voltages are not available. Furthermore certain applications using high voltage and high current op amps can derive important benefits from single supply operation.
When the DC input voltage to a buck converter has a wide range, it becomes important to not only select a suitable switching regulator IC for the application, but to select the power components to ha
Ultra-Low Power 27-MHz Wireless Mouse Reference Design Application ReportThe Texas Instruments (TI) MSP430 is a family of microcontrollers typically used in many high-performance low-power human interface device (HID) applications such as a wireless mouse or keyboard. This application report describes a fully-functional production-ready wireless mouse reference design consisting of TI's MSP4
The UCC5343 evaluation board is a complete interface of the IrDA physical layer to a standard UART at speeds up to 115Kbps. The user needs to supply power, an IrDA-compliant input pulse train and a UA
This application report enables easy migration from MSP430F2xx Flash-based MCUs to the MSP430FR57xx family FRAM-based MCU. It covers programming system and peripheral considerations when migrating firmware. The purpose is to highlight differences between the two families. For more information on the usage of the MSP430FR57xx features see the MSP430FR57xx Family User's Guide (
Many CCD imaging applications require digital processing the first stage of which is the conversion of an analog signal to a digital one. Several trade-offs are required by the conversion: cost versus performance speed of conversion versus bits of resolution serial versus parallel conversion and which CCD techniques should be performed in the analog versus the digital domain. This document di
The setup time for a repeat block is four cycles. This document shows how a designer can move most of the setup to an initialization phase and reduce the overhead during algorithm execution. Code examples are given comparing the standard algorithm to the faster algorithm.
This application report discusses the digital microphone input function of the TLV320AIC33 codec device and provides an example and step-by-step details for applying the function with AIC33EVM/US-MODEM System.
