With the advent of high-speed digital signal processors (DSPs) specialized for motion control applications, it has become possible to control motors without mechanical (speed or position) sensors. Thi

This application report describes two LM2576-based designs that provide up to 3A of current for batterycharging.

Segment liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are needed to provide information to users in a wide variety of applications from smart meters to electronic shelf labels (ESL) to medical equipment. Several MSP

This application report shows how to interface and operate the DAC8541 with a commercially available microprocessor or Texas Instruments DSP. Although this report uses a DSP as an example for the host interface the concept is generic in nature and therefore should fit any host processor selected to interface with this DAC. This report bridges the gap between digital signal system processing and a

The purpose of this document is to assist the designers of high-performance digital logic systems in using the advanced BiCMOS technology (ABT) logic family. Detailed electrical characteristics of these bus-interface devices are provided and tables and graphs have been included to compare specific parameters of the ABT family with those of other logic families. In addition typical data is provide

Building upon the software foundation architecture of DSP/BIOS DSP/BIOS II extends Texas Instruments? system software capabilities and services to enable the development of more advanced and complex applications; and provide support for traditional concurrent-system design paradigms. This support is a combination of additional software modules and modifications to the kernel to provide preemp

System designers can use receiver equalization to extend their RS-485 data transmission applications in terms of longer cable distances or higher signaling rates. This application report discusses the

This application report explains the benefits of using fixed voltage output versions of the TPS742xx, TPS743xx, and TPS744xx series of low-dropout (LDO) regulators from Texas Instruments. Fixed outpu

This report contains a comprehensive collection of the input and output characteristic curves of typical integrated circuits from various logic families. These curves go beyond the information given in data sheets by providing additional details regarding the characteristics of the components. This knowledge is particularly useful when for example a decision must be made as to which circuit shou

In an effort to standardize integrated-circuit (IC) package thermal-measurement methods JEDEC has released standards for test-board designs. Typical thermal metrics reported are package thermal resistance from junction to ambient (theta sub JA) and package thermal resistance from junction-to-case (theta sub JC). Recent data generated by Texas Instruments (TI) linear and logic package designers i

The UC1854 provides active power factor correction for power systems that otherwise would draw non-sinusoidal current from sinusoidal power lines. This device implements all the control functions necessary to build a power supply capable of optimally using available power-line current while minimizing line-current distortion. This application note describes the concepts and design of a boost prere

The TPS43000 is a high-frequency, voltage-mode, synchronous PWM controller that can be flexibly used in buck, boost, buck-boost, and SEPIC topologies. This reference design explains the design proced
