Development platforms available for digital signal processor (DSP) designers today are mainly the evaluation module (EVM) and the DSP starter kit (DSK). Executable code generated on these two platform

The SM72442 MPPT digital controller and SM72295 photovoltaic full bridge drivers are designed to controlhigh-efficiency DC/DC conversion used in photovoltaic applications. This application report details theusage of those devices in a battery charging application. The reference design is meant to provide supportfor a wide variety of implementations however unless otherwise noted this refe

A Simple Glass Breakage Detector Using the MSP430

Digital image processing is today a continuously evolving market. There are a lot of applications especially in the industrial area in medical imaging document imaging and in the security area. Texas Instruments digital signal multiprocessor TMS320C80 offers the computing performance to support many of these new possible applications. This paper describes the software implementation of some of

The optical module offers an effective high-speed solution for a growing telecom market. Data rates range from 155 Mbps to 6 Gbps and even up to 10 Gbps. Transmitter optical sub-assemblies (TOSAs) and laser drivers may have different resistances in a given application so the reflection could be worse if the designer does not use an impedance transfer circuit to absorb it. Additional uncertain noi

This document describes the utility 'LEADT.EXE' (or 'LEADT' for UNIX) for translating 'C5x assembly source files to 'C54x. The translator is not designed to be an automatic translation from one processor to another. There are differences in the architectures that can not be handled by the 'intellect' of this software utility but it does give the necessary warnings and errors to prompt the user in

AN-1442 Design and Programming Examples for Lighting Management Unit LP 5526

The TPS75005 is a complete power management solution for the C2000™ controllers from Texas Instruments. This document is supplemental advanced information to the TPS75005 data sheet.In this advanced information document the integrated sequencer logic (state machine) is explained in detail.

This application report provides a methodology for calculating the useful lifetime of TI embedded processors (EP) under power when used in electronic systems. It is aimed at general engineers who wish

AN-664 ISDN Basic Rate Interface Terminal Equipment (TE) System Design Guide

This report shows how to interface TLV2541 and TLV5636 12-bit serial data converters to the TMS320C5402<TM> DSP via the McBSP. It presents a hardware solution and a software solution to interface the

The strong interest in this application report leads us to publish a second edition. In addition to changes and updates made throughout all sections, new parts have been added, such as M?LVDS, CAN, Cl

SLIO-CAN CAN-Linked I/O Based on COP884BC

The interfacing of the 3-V MSP430x1xx and MSP430x4xx microcontroller families to circuits with a supply of 5 V or higher is shown. Input, output and I/O interfaces are given and explained. Worse-case

Boost converters are susceptible to large inrush currents at startup and with step changes in VLINE because the output capacitor is connected directly to the input through the boost diode. This design note describes and provides a schematic for a circuit that provides overcurrent shutdown using the UC3853 High Power-Factor Preregulator. The UC3853 provides simple yet high-performance active power

This application report presents a hardware and software solution for interfacing the TLV2544/TLV2548 12-bit, 200-ksps, 4/8-channel, low-power, serial, successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to the 32-bit floating point TMS320C3X digital signal processor (DSP) through the use of the TMS320C31 DSP starter kit (DSK).

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) interface to the DSP is also presented here exclusively for the single-shot mode operation of the ADC, since the DAC is used to reconstruct the digital data from the ADC for verification purposes. The TLV5618A DAC is used for this report.

ALM2402Q1 ALM2402Q1 Applications Note

This application report assists in estimating the power consumption for the TMS320C5515, C5504, C5505, C5514, C5532, C5533, C5534, and C5535 devices (DSPs), using a power estimation spreadsheet.
