In their effort to approximate the ideal op amp manufacturers must not only maximize the open-loop gainand minimize input-referred errors such as offset voltage bias current and noise but must also ensureadequate band-width and settling-time characteristics. Amplifier dynamics are particularly important inapplications like high-speed DAC buffers subranging ADCs S/H circuits ATE pin dr

This application report describes an echo canceller system using the Texas Instruments (TI?) TMS320C50 digital signal processor (DSP). The system is based on based on low resolution time-delay estimation using the knowledge that mainly one or two active regions (depending on the number of reflections in the communication channel) characterize the impulse response of a typical echo-path in telepho

LB-38 Wide Range Timer

In many applications, one or more low-cost, simple to use, isolated power supplies working from input voltages up to 100V are needed. Traditional solutions use flyback converters to generate this bia

The SN54/74LS297 performs a first-order PLL function with a high degree of accuracy and a minimum of external components. Features include entirely digital design accuracy with varying temperatures and voltages digitally programmable bandwidth and center frequency narrow bandwidth ripple cancellation and cascading capabilities for high-order loops. This document provides a device description

This document describes system design considerations for the TMS320TCI6482 (TCI6482). It also gives comparisons to designing with the TMS320TCI100 (TCI100) for those familiar with that device. The objective of this document is to cover system design considerations for the TCI6482. Those familiar with the TCI100 can use the comparisons to migrate a TCI100 design to the TCI6482. In some cases there

A Code Composer Studio plugin allows for the extension or customization of the development and debug environment. The plugin can be a standalone Windows application or an ActiveX control. This application note describes the process of writing a plugin and includes the source for a simple plugin.

This application report describes how to configure Code Composer Studio? Integrated Development Envornment (IDE) v2.0 to work with different emulation parameters. In versions of Code Composer Studio prior to v2.0 these parameters were set through environment variables. With Code Composer Studio v2.0 and greater the environment variables have been replaced by platform-independent configure variab

It is possible to read data directly from a parallel bus. Each word is loaded by a signal for example /WE. In order to read this kind of word with a synchronous serial port it has to be converted in series and synchronized by a transmission clock. The solution presented in this document uses the clock signal coming from the DSP although an independent clock source could be implemented successfu

All semiconductor devices have an ESD voltage threshold above which they sustain damage. While circuit designers can provide some on-circuit ESD protection (typically in the 2000 V to 4000 V range for the human body model and in the 200 V to 300 V range for the machine model) this is well below the static voltage levels found in work areas without ESD protection. Proper ESD handling and pac

This paper describes several important ADSL AFE1302 evaluation criteria and design limitation factors including the relationship between total SNR and transmission data speed; loop attenuation variation with DMT signal frequency and its influence on the reach; the echo return loss of the hybrid circuit; and the impact of Multi-Tone Power Ratio.

This application note describes all release changes within the LMX9838 firmware.

High-speed digital-to-analog converters commonly offer a complementary current output signal. Most output interface implementations use either a resistive load and/or a transformer to convert this current source signal to a voltage. Where a dc-coupled interface is required a carefully designed differential transimpedance stage can offer an attractive alternative. Design considerations and options

The MSP430x5xx series of devices is the latest addition to the MSP430 family of microcontrollers. Although there are many common features between the MSP430x5xx and MSP430x2xx/MSP430x4xx offerings, th

This article describes how to initialize the DDR3 and uBoot on the TMS320DM814x DaVinci™ digital media processors (DSP) and AM387x ARM® microprocessors (MPUs) PG2.x samples using the software leveling process.
