This application report describes a complete triac control system using the MSP430. An example of a triac control system is presented and analyzed. Methods for interference reduction modification for high speed and enhance security are explained. Alternate power supply circuits are included. A listing of triac control software available is presented in Appendixes A1 through A3.
Some legacy products may only contain a serial port and accessing such products is increasingly becoming a challenge due to the inability to add multiple such products to a shared network and the inability to access the legacy product from long distances. A serial-to-Ethernet converter provides a simple solution to solve the above challenges. The software described in this application report allow
This application report explains how to use an external reference voltage to regulate the output voltage range of a linear regulator below its internal reference voltage.
This application note contains instructions for implementing Canny Edge Detection algorithm using VLIB. The general ideas given here can also be applied for an application which calls a sequence of VLIB functions in a block-based manner.
As cellular phones and other portable electronics become more complex, more power is consumed by both active and standby systems. Consequently, power management design for portable devices offers new
This application report describes a Windows CE .NET driver for the TSC2301, a Texas Instruments touch-screen/keypad controller, and a stereo audio codec device. Intel? PXA250 and PXA210 microprocesso
This document describes the features and operation on the TMS320VC5402A TMS320VC5409A TMS320VC5410A and TMS320VC5416 Digital Signal Processors. The contents of the on-chip ROM are discussed.
Important Notice Regarding Bootloader Program Contents:
Texas Instruments may periodically update the bootloader code supplied in the ROM to correct known problems provide additional features
Jitter is a phenomenon troubling many designers of high-speed interfaces. It reduces available timingmargin limits transmission distance between a transmitter and a receiver and increases system cost bydemanding better performing and more expensive interconnects. LVDS interfaces are not spared fromthese ill effects as they now operate at bit rates exceeding the 3 Gbps mark. Texas Instrumen
The LM5045 based 240W reference board is designed to evaluate the performance of the full-waverectification scheme on the secondary side. The reference board is designed in an industry standardquarter brick footprint.
This document describes a potential problem designers may encounter when using high-speed CMOS (HC) logic devices. There also is a broad range of CMOS-system to non-CMOS-system interfaces that need to be considered. The design engineer inevitably encounters these interfaces. Key considerations for handling these interfaces are also discussed in this book.
This document describes the functionality of the DM643x ROM bootloader software. Please note that the ROM bootloader requires use of Application Image Script (AIS) as the primary data format for loading code/data. AIS is a Texas Instruments Inc. proprietary data format. AIS is explained in detail in Section 3 of this document.
The conventional and Out-of-Phase (OoP) liquid level sensing techniques are typically implemented for direct sensing or remote sensing applications. Sensors directly in contact with the liquid container maximize the performance of the system with minimizing sensor size while remote sensing allows flexibility in system design. There are situations in which both of these sensor locations can exhibi
The objective of this application report is to explain the basis for the bit rates used in serial digital interface (SDI). This leads to a deeper intuitive understanding of the nature of the SDI signal and will ultimately help the engineer design robust serial digital video systems.
This application report describes the device differences to be taken care for running the C64x+™ video codec software on different C64x+ based platforms. This document assumes that the codec software is developed for the C64x+ digital signal processor (DSP) core. As many TI platforms have a C64x+ DSP this document gives the details for running the standalone codec software on a C64x+ platfo
Digital signal processor (DSP) architectures are designed to handle finite number precision. Compared to floating point architecture fixed-point DSPs offer a limited degree of precision but are usually more cost effective and offer far superior performance.To work with fixed-point formats programmers need to take into consideration that each of the numerical operations should avoid overflo
