This application report contains the results from benchmarking the MSP430 against microcontrollers from other vendors. IAR Systems' Embedded Workbench development platform was used to build and execut
This application report contains a comprehensive collection of the input- and output-characteristic curves of integrated circuits from various 3.3-V logic families. These curves go beyond the information given in data sheets by providing additional details regarding the characteristics of the components. This knowledge is particularly useful when for example a decision must be made as to which c
Design of the loop compensator is one of the key challenges in the circuit design of a switching charger. This application report presents the internal control loop operation of the bq2472x/3x as well
This application brief describes the design of the Texas Instruments (TI™) TMS320C548/9 development board (DVB) from both the hardware and software approach. The DVB is a simple stand-alone application board used to evaluate the performance and characteristics of the TMS320LC548-80 TMS320LC549-80 and TMS320VC549-80 digital signal processor (DSP) hardware and software.
This application note illustrates some techniques used to manage data memory when using the TMS320 DSP Algorithm Standard. As system complexity grows and more functions and features are integrated into one system data memory becomes increasingly precious. We can make the most of this precious resource by 'dynamically' sharing it between algorithms.
This document describes how to use the multichannel buffered serial ports (McBSPs) in the Texas Instruments TMS320C6000™ digital signal processor (DSP) as a digital controller for an audio codec
One of the well-known benefits of current-mode control is that the system stability can be easily achieved by Type II compensation design. It is possible to improve the transient response of a current mode DC/DC converter by adopting Type III compensation to boost the crossover frequency and phase margin. Type III compensation is simple to design and needs only one extra component.
This application report develops and presents the TSC2100 touchscreen and audio WinCE drivers. These generic drivers can be used on or adapted to different processors or processor platforms. The associated driver code was tested with the Intel(TM) Lubbock and MainStone platforms.
Writing multiplication expressions in C code so that they are both correct and efficient can be confusing especially when technically illegal expressions can in some circumstances generate the code the user wanted in the first place. This document will help you chose the correct expression for your algorithm.
Many applications require the generation of random numbers. These random numbers are useful for applications such as communication protocols, cryptography, and device individualization. Generating ra
Ever-increasing demands are being placed on instrumentation amplifier (IA) performance. When standard IAs can not deliver the required performance consider this enhanced version. Dramatic performance improvements can be achieved by operating the input amplifiers of a classical three-op-amp IA from common-mode driven sub-regulated power supplies.
