This application report provides a brief overview of the Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) class, describes the Tiva implementation in the USB boot loader (boot_usb) application, and also describes the ho

This application report describes a low-cost power solution for Texas Instruments' TMS320C6000 DSP applications using the TL5001PWM controller and the TPS7133 low drop-out voltage regulator. The reference design included in this report uses the TL5001AEVM-122 (SLVP122) evaluation module (EVM) which is available for customer testing and evaluation.

The TI 32- and 36-bit FIFOs contain mailbox-bypass registers that transmit priority from one FIFO port to the other port A to B or port B to A with out storing the data in the FIFO SRAM buffer. This document describes the FIFO mailbox-bypass registers and shows an example of direct memory access (DMA) control of a digital signal processor (DSP). The components described are the SN74ACT3641 and th

This document describes each of the DSP/BIOS II performance benchmarks and the accompanying results followed by a technique used for calculating overall system performance or overhead. To help designers better analyze their system performance we have detailed the methodology used for obtaining each of the benchmarks along with the number of CPU cycles to execute each of the DSP/BIOS II functions

The next-generation high-end timer module (HET) on Hercules MCUs is an intelligent timer that provides sophisticated timing functions for real-time applications. The timer is an independent coprocessor using its own reduced instruction set with a specialized timer micromachine and an attached I/O port. The HET can be used for generating pulse-width-modulated outputs for capturing or comparing i

TMS320DM365, TPS65053 High Integration, High Efficiency Power Solution using DCDC Converters for DM365

The TRF371x family provides an automatic calibration circuit to minimize the DC offset imbalance in the baseband outputs. This eliminates the dc signal at the ADC output which eats into the valuable dynamic range of the ADC device. This report breaks down the operation of the dc offset calibration and provides the recommended register settings for optimum performance. The convergence time of the c

The TPS2062/TPS2066 devices are dual-channel 1-A power-distribution switches that are intended for applications where heavy capacitive loads and short circuits are likely to be encountered. These devices incorporate 70-milliohm N-channel MOSFET power switches for power-distribution systems that require multiple power switches in a single package. When output load exceeds current-limit threshold

The TMS320C24x? generation of DSPs provide appropriate internal hardware for interfacing with low-cost, external-speed sensors for motor speed measurement applications. The periodic output signal from

This application report describes the use of the high-resolution feature of the Timer_D module introduced in MSP430F51x1 and MSP430F51x2 devices. Timer_D enables applications that require high resolution such as capacitive touch detection PWM DACs advanced LED lighting and digital controllers for power supplies. This application report provides an advanced description of the use and calibration

This application report demonstrates how to build a compressed ROM file system (cramfs) file system image and add support for cramfs in the Linux kernel. The goal is to build a small file system that can be placed in Flash memory. Since cramfs is a read-only file system with limited size it is mostly useful in embedded devices where there is a limited amount of storage and there is no need to wri
