Texas Instruments hermetic packaged devices are fabricated in accordance with MIL-PRF-38535 and TI's own world class quality and reliability standards. The only age requirement for QML products is stated in MIL-PRF-38535 paragraph 3.10: Solderability. All parts shall be capable of passing the solderability test in accordance with TM 2003 of MIL-STD-883 on delivery. These products are warranted to do so in accordance with the Texas Instruments Incorporated Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale for Semiconductor Products.
Two key concerns for any electrical system are power dissipation and proper voltage regulation. However, inherent and parasitic resistances create challenges for both. This application report discusses the fundamentals of load switch On-resistance and how to select a load switch with the right On-resistance depending on the system requirements.
This application report enables easy migration from MSP430F4xx flash-based MCUs to the MSP430FR58xx/59xx/68xx/69xx family of FRAM-based MCUs. The intent is to highlight key differences between the two families.
Current measurements are used in electronic systems to provide feedback verifying operation is within acceptable margins and to detect potential fault conditions. Analyzing a system’s current level can diagnose unintended or unexpected operating modes allowing for adjustments to be made to improve reliability or to protect the system components from damage.
Power demands of today's modern systems have created the need for sensors to shut down when not in use. Through the strategic placement of TI's FemtoFET product line, significant power savings can be realized for several parts in the TI current sensing product line.
This application report discusses digital filters which are a ubiquitous feature in delta-sigma analog to digital converters (ADCs). Digital low-pass filters are essential to the functionality of a delta-sigma ADC, which relies on oversampling and noise shaping to push quantization noise out of band. There are variations between the types of digital filters used in delta-sigma ADCs that provide various benefits and drawbacks that orient them to different applications. The types of filters and the tradeoffs between them are discussed in this report.
