Using a question-and-answer format, advantages of TI?s GTLP devices, particularly for backplane applications, are presented, as well as differences between GTLP and GTL/LVDS devices. Applicable topics

This application report presents an analysis on the use of the 15-clock cycle method of operation for the ADS7841 and ADS7844 described in their respective data sheets. The advent of commercially available processors such as the TMS470 no longer restricts users from implementing the 15-clock method with simple microprocessors. This method however does present some challenges to the software inte

Due to its discrete nature DSPs represent variables and performs arithmetic functions with a finite word length. This produces three effects: the selection of filter transfer functions is quantized with filter poles and zeros existing only at specific locations in the z plane; the input is quantized; and noise is introduced from DSP multiplication and division operations. This document shows how

With the ever-growing need for battery-operated systems the need for low-power designs has increased significantly in recent years. These low-power applications have expanded to include high-speed DSP designs. It is necessary to design with high-speed devices while maintaining an overall power reduction. This document discusses a number of ways to reduce your system power ranging from the use of

This application report provides a schematic and design procedure for implementing a dynamically adjustable output for the TPS63000 using a digital-to-analog converter or other input voltage source.

The bq2031 fast-charge IC has two primary functions: lead-acid battery charge control and switch-mode power conversion control. This application note discusses the operation of the bq2031 and describes a switch-mode buck regulator charger using the bq2031.

This document discusses interrupt handling and the effect of interrupts on the pipeline. If an interrupt is pending and is subsequently enabled by a CLRC instruction where would it be taken and what happens when it returns from the ISR?

With the introduction of the MPY634 multipliers wideband analog multiplication need no longer be a multicap affair or imply performance compromises. Along with its 10MHz small-signal bandwidth the four-quadrant chip has a laser-trimmed DC accuracy of 0.25% and adjustable scale factor and the ability to drive loads down to 2kΩ.

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an efficient means for computing the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). It is one of the most widely used computational elements in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) a

Viterbi Coprocessor (VCP) is a programmable peripheral for decoding of convolutional codes integrated into Texas Instruments' TMS320C6416 DSP device. The VCP is controlled via memory mapped control registers and data buffers. Control registers can be accessed directly by the CPU whereas data buffers are typically accessed using the EDMA controller. This application note describes the relationshi

Classical op amps such as the OPA627 have excellent performance in applications where the required gain bandwidth is low compared to the gain-bandwidth product of the op amp. However increasing closed-loop gain decreases the error-reducing loop gain. Furthermore starting at relatively low frequencies the loop gain rolls-off at 20dB/decade of signal frequency increase. In combination these effec

This document details the voltage, current, and sequencing requirements for the i.MX31 and shows how to power it using the TPS650240.

The low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator brings the advantage of power savings to system design byreducing the voltage required to maintain output regulation. However the traditional LDO has alwaysbrought with it the disadvantage of placing tight restrictions on the equivalent series resistance (ESR) ofthe output capacitor in order to keep the regulator stable. This requirement has been elim
