High-performance systems demand carefully designed clock generation and distribution networks. A designer needs to meet tighter timing lower power consumption smaller space lower operating temperatures and lower cost requirements. Timing performance is optimized by reduction clock skew. This document discusses the different types of skew power dissipation and high-speed design cons

This application report describes a Reed Solomon decoder implementation on the TMS320C64x? DSP family. Reed Solomon codes have been widely accepted as the preferred (ECC) error control coding scheme for ADSL networks digital cellular phones and high-definition television systems. The reason for their widespread prevalence is their excellent robustness to burst errors. Programmable implementations

The low-cost of the TMS320C32 (?C32) makes 32-bit floating-point digital signal processing (DSP) available to a wider variety of applications than ever before. This document explains in detail the features of the ?C32 enhanced memory interface with design examples for 32- 16- and 8-bit-wide external memories. Comprehensive diagrams show precise operation of the processor and complete circuits fo

Improving Cross Regulation of Multiple Output Flyback Converters

This demonstration is intended to illustrate the method of using the internal 8051 MCU firmware of the PGA450-Q1 device to calculate the time of flight (tof) using LIN communication to trigger a distance computation. The settings for short distance measurements have been updated from Rev. 2.0 to Rev 2.1 of the firmware. Differences include an optimized threshold algorithm (optimized for the TI set

AN043 -- Small Size 2.4 GHz PCB Antenna

Battery powered systems or systems with low input voltage supplies may have loads that require higher voltage outputs. A boost converter is a usual choice for non-isolated applications; however boost converters do not naturally provide system protection to downstream circuitry due to the pass path from input to output. Problems due to this pass path are now resolved with the LM5121 boost controll

This application report describes two methods of using an 8-bit serial port to receive a 16-bit data word. The first method uses the Texas Instruments (TI?) TMS320C17 ('C17) digital signal processor (DSP) 8-bit serial port to receive the 16-bit data word. The second method improves the first method by adding a counter to the hardware. This report describes the hardware and software modifications r
