Due to rapid migration to lower power-supply voltages, bus translators often are necessary as an interface between separately powered components of a logic system. This application report discusses th
The TMS320VC547x (VC547x) generation of devices including the TMS320VC5470 and the TMS320VC5471 has a master TMS470R1x (ARM7TDMIE) microcontroller unit (MCU) CPU with a slave TMS320C54x™ (C54x™) digital signal processor (DSP) CPU. Inter-processor communication (IPC) between the two processors can be performed using various methods. This document describes an interrupt-driven method o

This document describes metastable response in digital circuits. After a definition of a metastable state a test circuit is provided its responses analyzed and test results given. Examples show the influence of metastability on the response of asynchronous circuits and measures for improving reliability are assessed.
Noise is a typical problem confronting many isolation applications. Isolation products such as analog isolation amplifiers optocouplers transformers and digital couplers are used in applications to transmit signals across a high voltage barrier while providing galvanic separation between two grounds.
The UC3578 is a PWM controller with an integrated high-side floating gate driver. It is used in buck step-down converters and regulates a positive-output voltage. Intended for a distributed power syst
Until now, all of the 3-terminal power IC voltage regulators have a fixed output voltage. In spite of this limitation, their ease of use, low cost, and full on-chip overload protection have
System-Level ESD has become increasingly demanding with silicon technology scaling towards lower voltages and the need for designing cost-effective and ultra-low power components. This application rep
This document, along with the latest TMS320 DSP Algorithm Standard (referred to as ?XDAIS? throughout the document) API Reference Manual (SPRU360), will assist the XDAIS algorithm consumer to write th
