Memory modules have long been a system designer's trump card. Modules, in addition to the traditional space savings, allow ease of implementation, known operating performance, flexible density options
In some cases such as wireless communications applications a system requires two communication channels but only one serial port is available. This document shows how to multiplex this port and how to interface two analog lines. There is a schematic and an example of code is given. The analog interface circuits (AICs) chosen for this solution were purposely selected to address as many potential
This application report presents the process of interfacing of the TLV320AIC12/13/14/15 voice-band codec with the TMS320C5402? DSP. It presents the hardware configuration and the software driver for a two-device cascade (single master and single slave) configuration mode. The design can be considered as an application example a test tool or a startup platform for developing and using the codec
The TMS320C6000? (C6000?) Multichannel Buffered Serial Port (McBSP) is designed to interface to a device that supports synchronous Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). This document describes the hardware interface between the McBSP and a SPI ROM. The McBSP operates as the master in a user-specified clock stop (CLKSTP) mode in order to communicate with the SPI ROM. The McBSP initialization and contr
Hotswap circuits rely on the thermal capacitance of the series-limiting MOSFET to dissipate the large transient energy under current- or power-limit operation. The peakjunction temperature must be controlled in order to achieve a robust design. The constant-power MOSFET protection of the TPS2490 provides a simple method to useinformation provided by MOSFET manufacturers to determine peak junct
Switched-mode techniques are used more and more nowadays for the design of power supplies. Switch mode power supplies have considerably higher efficiency when compared to designs employing linear regulators and can be used for higher output powers. The rectified input voltage in a switching regulator is chopped by means of a switch. The LC network after the switch smoothes this voltage resulting
This application report presents an overview of the differences among the bq24103, bq24113, bq24123 and bq24133. It assists design engineers in selecting the most suitable charger for their applicatio
The right high speed differential amplifier will add flexibility to signal chains that include a high speedanalog-to-digital converter (ADC). A differential amplifier can provide signal conditioning such as singleended to differential conversion impedance transformation and gain or attenuation.
The MSP430 is an ideal microcontroller solution for low-cost low-power precision sensor applications because it consumes very little power. The ADS1293 is a fully integrated signal chain for portable low-power medical electrocardiogram (ECG) sports and fitness applications. This library provides functions to facilitate the interfacing of any MSP430 device to the ADS1293. An
In image processing and SONAR applications the phase relation between the input and output is veryimportant to extract the information contained within. These systems require flat-phase response in theiramplifier circuitry to minimize the measurement errors. Most of these errors can be reduced by using anexpensive wide-bandwidth amplifier.Also the high frequency effects of the op amps
