Ground loops can be introduced when different components in audio systems are connected with standardaudio cables and these loops can cause annoying interference. In many cases the interference can bereduced significantly with a ground loop break (GLB) circuit including a low-value resistor and differentialamplifiers. This paper explains this approach and how to design a GLB circuit.

This report describes the coding requirements techniques and decisions whichmust be made to utilize the TMS320C80 DSP as an integrated services digitalnetwork (ISDN) video-system manager and provides an overview on how theprocessor handles video signal in the ISDN narrow-band format in conformancewith the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)?T H.261 Recommendation.

Increasing performance requirements of personal computers that necessitate a larger number of SDRAMs and DIMMs can be met by an FET-switch muliplexer. Four devices for memory interleaving for the 440BX and other core-logic chipsetsincorporate internal pulldown resistors damping resistors and make-before-break features that increase speed while maintaining minimal simultaneous-switching noise.

CC2530 FAQ

Today?s communications equipment requires DSPs to perform complicated algorithms in a limited amount of time. One such algorithm is the equalizer in a digital receiver. The equalizer removes distortions caused by the communications link between the transmit and receive antennae. This document discusses implementing an equalizer for the IS-54 standard on the fixed point TMS320C5x DSP. Background fo

Decompensated operational amplifiers have improved noise slew rate harmonic distortion etc. but required external compensation for stable operation. This report shows how to compensate such an amplifier and achieve the performance enchancement it provides in a unity-gain configuration.The THS4011 and THS4021 operational amplifiers are used to illustrate the superior performance mentioned a
