Integrated data acquisition systems can provide many benefits over discrete component designs. Superior performance power and cost savings along with shorter development times are among these benefits. Features such as integrated programmable gain amplifiers and averaging can provide added resolution. This application note includes information on how to achieve 17 bits of effective resolution

Clocking Design Guide for KeyStone Devices

This article provides a well-reinforced procedure for the PCB layout task as it pertains to the TPA300x series of class D amplifiers. This information can also be used in the layout of the TPA200x ser

Designers are giving more attention to the electromagnetic compatibility of electronic circuits and systems. The electromagnetic properties of particular interest are the generation of the lowest or zero interference and the immunity of circuits to the effects of the electromagnetic energy it is subjected to. This document explains important criteria that determine the electromagnetic compatibilit

Compact disc (CD) media is used for storage of audio files because of its relatively inexpensive cost and its large capacity. Today people want to be able to play popular compressed audio files (MP3 WMA AAC etc.) with the same player that can play legacy audio CDs. In order to have skip-free playback these players need to provide protection from external shocks especially in the case of port

This application bulletin provides additional information on how the DDC112's continuous and non-continuous modes work and how to effectively operate the part in either mode. It is intended to supplem

This document serves as a guide to begin developing designs with the High End Timer (HET) advanced intelligent timer module. This timer module provides sophisticated timing functions for real-time applications. The following pages will cover a step-by-step process to program the HET. Starting with the setup for the IAR tools descriptions of the code for the main program necessary to load the HET

Excessive power dissipation can occur in switch-mode power supplies during startup and overload conditions. Many sophisticated PWM controllers provide the means for protection against these problems; however simple low-cost controllers require additional circuitry. This design note describes a circuit that uses only one additional resistor and transistor to enhance the performance of the UC3842A

Once an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a driver/interface have been selected for a given application, the next step to achieving excellent performance is laying out the printed circuit board (P

This application report describes the number of CPU cycles required to perform a given host port interface (HPI) data transfer based on a variety of permutations of burst length CPU speed EMIF speed etc.

The HPI provides direct connectivity between a host processor and a CPU?s memory space via a 32/16-bit parallel port. The HPI throughput between a host processor and the TMS320C64x™ DSP

Need a filter - fast? No theory very little math - just working filter designs and in a hurry? This is the right document.

This document describes the SPI Commands that are necessary to control the TMS37157 passive low-frequency interface (PaLFI) device and access its EEPROM. The functions of the SPI library are in C and can be easily called from any C program that includes the header files. The header files are optimized for the MSP430F2274 and can be easily adapted to other microcontrollers. The SPI library does not

This application report describes issues of interest related to migration from the TMS320C6416/15/14 to the TMS320C6416T/15T/14T device. The objective of this document is to indicate differences between the two device families. Functions that are identical between the two devices are not included. For detailed information on the specific functions of either device see the TMS320C6414 TMS320C6
