LB-53 MicroP Interface for a Free-Running A/D Allows Asynchronous Reads

This application note provides information on how to interface a daughterboard to the TMS320C62x EVM TMS320C62x McEVM and TMS320C67x EVM. An introduction on the daughterboard concept is provided identifying the advantages of using this approach for rapid prototyping and accelerated product developments. Details on the daughterboard design are provided including identification of the memory and

As motion control and power interface systems become more complex, the need for more sophisticated control circuitry arises. One common application involves the need for synchronizing multiple pulse width modulators (PWMs). This requirement may result from the need to eliminate beat frequencies when multiple PWMs reside on the same printed circuit board, or from timing considerations in redundant systems where voting between drivers is required.

The UC3637 is an extremely versatile PWM used in many motor control and power driver applications, and the need for synchronization often arises. In order to properly accomplish this, a few simple design rules must be followed. These rules apply primarily to resetting the part’s current limit latches.

The purpose of this application report is to facilitate the migration of designs based on the MSP430FW42x Scan Interface (SIF) to the MSP430FR5xx/FR6xx Extended Scan Interface (ESI). This document describes the main differences between the two peripheral modules and provides migration solutions covering both software and hardware aspects.

Video signals captured directly from charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras naturally have interlaced effects and are in a 4:2:2 interleaved format. They typically need to be converted to a 4:2:0 planar format before being encoded because most video compression standards accept input only in 4:2:0 format. It is better to reduce or remove the interlaced artifacts in the original video signal when fe

Boost LED drivers are often used to drive LEDs in series. If an LED fails while open, overvoltage protection (OVP) is necessary to avoid the damage to a boost integrated circuit (IC) or output capaci
