Conventional regulators have a high drop-out voltage that is a function of the total output current.However with just a regulator chip an external transistor and a few passive components this designforms a high output current regulator with a limited input voltage and high efficiency. The circuit presentedhas a drop-out of 0.7V at 5A load current and 1.3V at a current level of as high as

This document specifies the ELF-based Application Binary Interface (ABI) for the C6000 Family of processors from Texas Instruments. The ABI is a broad standard that specifies the low-level interface between tools programs and program components.

You know it's going to be one of those days when you see the printed version of an article you wrote and realize that you have made an error in the presentation of your ideas. This is what happened to me as I read Use High Speed S/H to Improve Sampling ADC Performance (Design Update Vol.1 No.1). This article will rectify the situation and further illuminate some important performance aspe

DLP6500 DLP9500 DLPC900 System design considerations using TI DLP technology at 400 nm wavelengths

This design note shows how to implement <b>voice</b> quality <b>audio</b> applications without using an external codec using the <b>CC2510</b> and <b>CC2511</b> devices. It includes a code example for

The following application bulletin describes the theory and actual performance of THD+N versus frequency characteristics for the PCM1717 series which include on-chip digital filters. The contents of this article apply to the PCM1717 and other devices which use the same digital filter architecture and delta-sigma DAC such as PCM1718 PCM1719 PCM1720 PCM1723 and PCM1727.

This note describes the operational amplifier (op-amp) sine-wave oscillator together with the criteria for oscillation to occur using RC components. It delineates the roles of phase shift and gain in the circuit and then discusses considerations of the op amp. A brief analysis of a Wien-Bridge oscillator circuit is provided. Several examples of sine-wave oscillators are given although it is reco

DSP/BIOS™ provides a complete set of instrumented kernel services optimized for fast execution speed and small size for use with Texas Instruments digital signal processors. DSP/ BIOS is instrumented to provide real time analysis of software executing on TI DSPs. DSP/ BIOS is included in Code Composer Studio? along with the editor compiler project manager and debugger. This introduces a r

The low-battery input (LBI) available on several step-down converters is often used to shut down the converter when the input voltage falls below a set threshold. This prevents damage to the battery and signals that the battery is at the end of its life and should be charged or replaced. Batteries have internal resistance that causes the voltage to drop as the load increases. This internal resis

This application report documents the wireless temperature-sensor network demonstration application provided with the eZ430-RF2500 development tool. The application uses Texas Instruments SimpliciTI™ wireless communication protocol to set up a simple network in which end devices communicate sampled temperature and voltage data to a network access point. The access point communicates all collected

This report provides information about the experimental set-up and measurements carried out with the TRF372017 evaluation module (TRF370217EVM) to determine the output noise at the RF port of Texas Instruments' TRF372017 integrated IQ modulator device. The significance of using low-pass baseband and RF bandpass filters along with the modulator noise floor estimation obtained from the output noise

Current-mode control as usually implemented in switching power supplies actually senses and controls peak inductor current. This process causes many serious problems including poor noise immunity a need for slope compensation and peak-to-average current errors that the inherently low current-loop gain cannot correct. Average current-mode control eliminates these problems and may be used effec
