Buses are the pathways for communication between the CPU memory and I/O ports in electronic systems. The SN74CBTS3384 bus switch provides a high-speed low-power solution to bus connections while providing a reliable solution to bus isolation. This document describes the mechanics of MOSFET switches which can lead to false switching and disruption of the bus. The SN74CBTS3384 solution to theses

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

This application report explains the implementation of using the CDFS feature of the Mass Storage Controller (MSC) API of the USB Developer?s Package for the MSP430? Microcontroller. Utilizing Compac

This application report discusses boot capacitor regulation in the Texas Instruments LM25007 constant-on-time (cot) converter.

The daughtercard specification is based on the interface provided with the TMS320DM642 (DM642) Evaluation Module (EVM). This specification provides the information ecessary to allow daughtercards to be designed to function with the DM642 EVM. It also provides guidelines for designing new DSP motherboards aiming to provide a compatible interface. This includes systems based on different DSPs as we

Most audio systems use either an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to interface with a digital signal processor (DSP). This application note describes how to interface the Texas Instruments (TI(TM)) TLC320AD57 ('AD57) audio band sigma-delta stereo ADC with the TI TMS320C5x ('C5x) DSP via the serial port. The hardware interface solution is provided because the s
