This application report describes and shows how to implement a direct thermocouple interface, without using the signal conditioning circuitry normally required for thermocouples. The thermocouple inte
This document discusses the power consumption of the Texas Instruments TMS320DM6441 digital media System-on-Chip (DMSoC). Power consumption on the DM6441 device is highly application-dependent so a spreadsheet is provided to model power consumption for a user’s application. To get good results from the spreadsheet realistic usage parameters must be entered. The low-core voltage and other power d
The TLC320AD57C (?AD57C) is a sigma-delta stereo A/D converter providing 18-bit resolution with a signal-to-noise ratio of 97dB and a dynamic range of 91 dB. The device consists of two synchronous conversion path with a decimal decimation filter following the 64X oversampling sigma-delta modulator. This document describes the ?AD57C functions provides circuit configuration schematics and characte
This document provides an overview of a PLL clock driver. The advantages and disadvantages of PLLs and the cost in designs are discussed. TI manufactures three low-voltage high-performance PLL clock drivers the CDC2582 CDC2586 and the CDC2586.
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is a fundamental part of radio wireless and telecommunication technology. The goal of this document is to review the theory design and analysis of PLL circuits. PLL is a simple negative feedback architecture that allows economic multiplication of crystal frequencies by large variable numbers. By studying the loop components and their reaction to various noise sources we
Wireless phones continue to gain additional features making them more valuable to the end user. Many of these features involve increased audio functionality and hence some additional design effort on the audio portion of the phone. This paper gives an overview of audio amplifiers before describing different audio architectures that can be used to implement features like ear-bud speakers stereo
MSP430 microcontrollers are designed specifically for ultra-low-power applications. Features such as multiple low-power modes instant wakeup intelligent autonomous peripherals and much more to enable such ultra-low-power capabilities. Texas Instruments provides valuable tools to help the programmer fully use these benefits and optimize power consumption of the target application. This app
This design note describes the key elements and simple usage of the CC111xFx/CC243xFx/CC251xFx/CC253xFx USART peripheral in UART mode. The main objective is to explain the CC111xFx/CC243xFx/CC251xFx/CC253xFx software required to operate the UART with and without DMA support.
A bootloader enables field updates of application firmware. A controller area network (CAN) bootloader enables firmware updates over the CAN bus. The CAN ootloader described in this application report is based on the Hercules™ ARM® Cortex™-R4 microcontroller. This application report describes the CAN protocol used in the bootloader and details each supported command.
Simplify your frequency-to-voltage (F/V) converter designs with versatile V/F ICs. Starting with a basicconverter circuit you can modify it to meet almost any application requirement. You can spare yourselfsome hard labor when designing F/V converters by using a voltage-to-frequency (V/F) IC in your designs.These ICs form the basis of a series of accurate yet economical F/V converters sui
This application report describes the development of a low bit rate speech coder based on the GSM HR (Half Rate) speech coding standard using the Texas Instruments (TITM) TMS320C30 digital signal proc
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the power consumption and the junction temperatures of the SN75976A1DL SN75976A2DL SN75976A1DGG or N75976A2DGG 9-Channel Differential Transceivers in typical applications.
IRES is a TMS320 DSP Algorithm Standard (xDAIS) interface for management and utilization of special resource types such as hardware accelerators certain types of memory and DMA. RMAN is a generic Resource Manager that manages software components' logical resources based on their IRES interface configuration. Both IRES and RMAN are Framework Component modules. This document presents an overview of
