This application report presents a hardware solution for interfacing the TLV1572 10-bit, 1.25 MSPS (Mega Samples Per Second), successive low-power analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to the TMS320C203 1
Customers can program ten EEPROM registers to optimize the ability of the bq26500/bq26501 to monitor the battery capacity of a given group or type of Li-ion pack cells. This document explains how to o
This application report describes a real-time high performance simulation environment using the Texas Instruments (TI(TM)) TMS320C40 digital signal processor (DSP). The interactive simulation environm
In USB and isolated low power converter designs-quasi resonant and discontinuous conduction mode flyback converter topologies are a popular choice, due to their low parts count and relatively low cost
The integrated-circuit (IC) industry is converting to nickel/palladium (Ni/Pd)-finished leadframes for assembly of ICs. To date,Texas Instruments (TI) has over 20 billion Ni/Pd ICs in the field. Us
