This application note presents several mechanisms supported by the TMS320 DSP Algorithm Standard (referred to as XDAIS) which can be employed by algorithm writers to assist application developers in optimizing their system?s performance and sharing of memory resources.The first mechanism is based on using statically allocated global data structures. The second mechanism is built on the concept
This report is on matrix multiplication with the TMS32010 and TMS32020. Matrix multiplication is useful in applications such as graphics numerical analysis or high-speed control. Because of the high speed of the multiply/accumulate operations and fast data I/O both processors can multiply in microseconds large matrices with their sizes only limited by the internal data memory. Programs are inc
The DSP controller TMS320F240 from Texas Instruments is suitable for a wide range of motor drives and power electronic applications. TMS320F240 reduces chip count of a system by integrating most of th
The MSP430 family of low-power microcontrollers are ideal for low-power smart-sensor applications. This application report describes a method for interfacing an accelerometer to an MSP430F2012, creati
The TPIC6C596 can be used to switch a variety of low-side loads. Some loads induce transients that can be coupled onto components and traces that can feed back into the control circuits of the TPIC6C596. While the device is designed to minimize interference from external noise the user should plan the board layout and external component placement to help reduce interference in very noisy applicat
Texas Instruments TMSx70 microcontrollers built using TI's F035 Flash process have one or two test pins used for advanced testing of the Flash memory. This application report discusses how to utilize these pins when designing circuit boards for one of these processors.
This application report presents various system designs possible using the FlatLink? transmitter: SN75LVDS83B, and the FlatLink? receivers: SN75LVDS82 and SN75LVDS86A. These are low-voltage differen
This application report describes how to communicate with the Hercules™ serial peripheral interface (SPI) bootloader. The SPI bootloader is a small piece of code that can be programmed at the beginning of Flash to act as an application loader as well as an update mechanism for applications running on a Hercules Cortex™-R4 based TMS570LS12x microcontroller.
There is an increasing demand to bring video and image processing capabilities to devices like video IP phones cellular phones and personal data assistants (PDAs). The images are brought to the user on liquid crystal displays that usually use thin film transistor (TFT) technology. These LCD devices require very specific timings and row/column formatting that can make them difficult to directly i
This design note describes a demo board for the UC3853 8-pin High Power-Factor Preregulator Integrated Circuit. This demo board was designed for 100W 75kHz operation over a universal input-voltage range (80VAC to 270VAC). A parts list and schematic diagram for the typical application circuit are included in this design note.
This application report provides an overview of the host side design in the Multichannel Vocoder (MCV) Technology Demonstration Kit (TDK). Emphasis is given to overall system architecture and the major system components. The MCV TDK is currently running on TMS320C6201/C6701 EVMs. All algorithm components are compliant with the eXpressDSP Algorithm Standard and are run-time configurable.The MCV
This application report discusses a way to increase the efficiency of the boost converter in a backlightdriver by reducing conduction and AC losses in the inductor thereby increasing the overall efficiency ofthe backlight driver at higher loads.
