This application report contains implementation instructions for the DDR2 interface contained on the TCI6482 DSP device. The approach to specifying interface timing for the DDR2 interface is quite different than on previous devices.

The previous approach specified device timing in terms of data sheet specifications and simulation models. The customer was required to obtain compatible memory de

Grid connected applications require an accurate estimate of the grid angle to feed power synchronous to the grid. This is achieved using a software phased-locked loop (PLL). This application report discusses the different challenges in the design of software phased-locked loops for three phase grid connected inverters and presents a methodology to design phased-locked loops using C2000 controllers

An interchangeable-thermistor temperature-measurement application is described and a basic framework circuit which can be modified to use alternative components is provided. When a potentiometer is used instead of a thermistor the application can also be used to measure other process variables. A basic understanding of active and passive analog devices is assumed.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protective Semiconductor Packing Materials and Configurations

As a new interface, InfiniBand (sm) presents a lot of expansion opportunities. However, in most new specifications, the true implementation details for the power requirements are either limited or lac

Simultaneous-switching noise can generate and propagate glitches in electronic systems. Therefore system designers are faced with challenges to minimize simultaneous-switching noise while increasing switching speed and improving signal quality. This report presents the performance of different TI logic devices under various simultaneous-switching conditions. Factors such as the number of bits sw

This application note describes how to operate the LM27965 Evaluation Module.

This application report describes the interface between the Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320C6000™ digital signal processor (DSP) host port and the Intel 80960 microprocessor. The document includes schematics showing connections between the two devices PAL equations and verification that timing requirements are met for each device (tables and timing diagrams).

This document describes how to create a boot package and bootload one Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) TMS320C548 digital signal processor (DSP) with another TMS320C54x DSP.

This application report presents a method for interfacing the DAC8814 - a four-channel, current output, 16-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converter - to the MSP430F449 processor using the HPA449 fr

This document describes the logic to connect the SPARC Mbus to the TI Futurebus+ (FB+) chipset host interface (HIF). This logic is a translator of Mbus to HIF transactions and vice versa. Direct and paged-memory are described along with techniques for a 64-bit-only data path and a dynamically configurable 32-bit Mbus/32-bit HIF or 64-bit Mbus/64-Bit HIF.

This application note introduces a new dedicated analog controller. The UC3909 Switchmode Lead-Acid Battery Charger IC provides a low-cost solution to battery charging without sacrificing the performance of the system. Also the paper will guide users whose primary expertise is not switch-mode power-supply design in devising a state-of-the-art multi-state battery charger using the new IC. Th

This application report describes the implementation of the low-cost LaunchPad™-based MSP430 universal synchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) bootstrap loader (BSL) interface. The goal of the implementation is to deploy the MSP430 Value Line devices that have less than two serial interface modules as the bridge between the BSL Scripter software tool and the MSP430 target device.

M-LVDS is standardized in TIA/EIA-899 to enable interoperability of compliant interface circuits such as the SN65MLVD200 from Texas Instruments. This report compares data sheet specifications and makes a conclusion on the interoperability of the nonstandard BusLVDS (BLVDS) DS92LV010A from National Semiconductor and the SN65MLVD200.
