Capacitive touch detection is sometimes considered more art than science. This often results in multiple design iterations before the optimum performance is achieved. There are, however, good design p
Numerical Protection Relays (NPRs) are critical elements in any power distribution network. Generally, there are several different types of NPRs. Each type, however, shares a similar architecture, thu
Describes the soldering requirements for the surface mount versions of all Plug-in Power products and gives guidelines for the development of a suitable reflow profile.
The Near Field Communication (NFC) market is emerging into multiple fields including medical, consumer, retail, industrial, automotive, and smart grid. Reader/Writer is one of the three operational mo
This document discusses the power consumption of the Texas Instruments TMS320C6411 digital signal processor (DSP). Power consumption on this device is highly applicationdependent 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 beentered. The low core voltage and other power design optim
This application report describes how to interface the Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320C6000™ (C6000™) digital signal processor (DSP) to the Intel 80960Kx/Jx microprocessor. This document contains:
A block diagram of the interface
Information required to configure the Intel80960
Timing diagrams illustrating the interface functionality
Many applications require that the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) be located near the field sensor; however the digital processing often occurs at a distance. Therefore the input and output signals need to travel through a long cable from the field sensor to the site where digital processing occurs. This application report is a guide for using a 1-meter cable the Samtec EQCD Series high data
This document describes the Texas Instruments (TI) TRF6900/MSP430 US evaluation kit (EVK) and associated software, which allows the evaluation and demonstration of the TRF6900, a 900-MHz ISM band tran
This document describes parasitic effects in integrated circuits (ICs) and the problems that result when protecting analog components using conventional methods. It presents examples of how these problems can be removed by using the TLC7726 hex clamping circuit
As more and more system components become embedded within the system processor chip new techniques are required for debug. Signals and busses that were historically available for probe connection at external package pins are now hidden from the users within the processor package. This problem is referred to as vanishing visibility meaning that the user can no longer employ traditional techniques
The TMS320C6410 DSP Hardware Designer?s Resource Guide is a collection of the most commonly used technical documentation, and models for DSP hardware system designers. Topics covered include Getting S
This application report describes the content of the TMS320C6000 Multichannel Vocoder (MCV) Technology Demonstration Kit (TDK). The kit includes a GUI host program that allows the user to configure multiple channels of several vocoders being processed on a ?C6x EVM. The TDK also includes a number of application reports which are listed in the References section of this report.Source Code exam
This application report describes the TPS370x-xx Supply Voltage Supervisor (SVS) family of devices. The report includes a description of the circuit and a discussion of the differences between members of the TPS370x family. In addition the report describes circuit features in detail and gives application examples. Layout and design issues are also discussed.
