A New Production Technique for Trimming Voltage Regulators

Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) automatically collects the information on the amount of water, electric or gas that has been consumed by each household. When the AMR information is received, the exact e

Operating the TRF6903 With MSP430 Evaluation Kit in the 315-MHz or 433-MHz ISM Band

The world seems to be poised to make the leap to LED lighting. Incandescent has been deemed too inefficient, which it is, and fluorescent lighting often does not achieve the lifetime it claims. Fluor

Driving LEDs: To Cap or Not to Cap

Many consumer products using white light LEDs for illumination and backlighting provide gradual LED illumination at turnon and turnoff. This gradual illumination is usually achieved with the aid of a microprocessor that provides PWM dimming control. This circuit uses the Texas Instruments TPS61040 white light LED driver to provide gradual illumination at turnon and turnoff without the use of a mic

This application report describes how to implement a reverse-battery-protection feature using the TPS61200 boost converter in applications powered from a single alkaline nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cell.

This paper presents a method for utilizing the on-chip PWM generators on a TMS320C240 DSP for digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion. The method involves analog low-pass filtering the PWM signal to remove high frequency components leaving only the low-frequency content. Theoretical and experimental results are presented to quantify the achievable bit resolution. In addition analog low-pass filter
