A common problem in battery-powered systems is the loss of output power as the battery discharges. Output power must be reduced or limited to the level available at minimum battery voltage or distortion becomes unacceptable. It is possible to overcome this problem by using a boost converter a switching device that boosts battery output to a fixed higher voltage to power the amplifiers. TI's T

The year is 2005. Wireless technology has become so pervasive that kindergarten children and family pets are tracked with GPS receivers; businessmen work in virtual offices with high-speed wireless connections; shopping stock trading and ticket purchases are all done routinely using wireless terminals that are worn?not carried. Utopia?or your worst nightmare?whatever your perspective this is a

Music synthesis is the ability to create musical scores by synthesizing different musical instruments. Different methods of music synthesis include sampled sound synthesis (wavetable synthesis) FM synthesis and instrument modeling. Sampled sound synthesis inherently requires significant amounts of memory to store instrument samples but results in extremely natural-sounding music. FM synthesizers

Power dissipation performance must be well understood prior to integrating devices on a printed-circuit board (PCB) to ensure that any given device is operated within its defined temperature limits. When a device is running it consumes electrical energy that is transformed into heat. Most of the heat is typically generated by switching devices like MOSFETs ICs etc. This application report discu

While the principles discussed in this application report apply more broadly to power design we will focuson DC to DC convertor design given its broad application. It affects virtually every hardware engineer whoat some point has to design a power convertor. In this application report we will consider two commontrade-offs related to low EMI design; thermal performance and EMI and also solut
