When transmitting to and receiving data from a processing engine such as the TMS320C25 digital signal processor, it is common to encounter problems when interfacing to asynchronous devices. This chapt
The TPS65381 is a multi-rail power supply designed to supply microcontrollers in safety critical applications such as those found in automotive functions. The device supports Texas Instruments’ TMS570LS series 16/32-Bit RISC Flash MCU and other microcontrollers with dual-core lockstep (LS) or loosely coupled (LC) architectures.The TPS65381 integrates multiple supply rails to power the MCU CA
This application report provides background information, general equations, and instructions for proper use of the Texas Instruments TAS57xx series Dynamic Range Control (DRC). Topics include I2C con
The Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) TMS320F241 TMS320C241 and TMS320F243 digital signal processor (DSP) controllers contain an on-chip Control Area Network (CAN) module. This module is a FullCAN controller (Specification 2.0B). This application report describes the TMS320X241/3 CAN module. Software examples are included for different modes of operation of the on-chip CAN module along with an applicati
Bluetooth pairing usually involves some level of user interaction to confirm the identity of the user and/or the devices themselves. There are many pairing mechanisms available across the versions of
Designing high-resolution detection circuits using photodiodes presents considerable challenges because bandwidth gain and input-referred noise are coupled together. This application note reviews the basic issues of transimpedance design provides a set of detailed design equations explains those equations and develops an approach to easily compare potential solutions.
This application report describes how to communicate with the Hercules™ UART bootloader. The UART bootloader is a small piece of code that can be programmed at the beginning of Flash to act as an application loader as well as an update mechanism for applications running on a Hercules Cortex™-R4 based RM42 microcontroller.
With the introduction of commercially available amplifiers using the current feedback topology byComlinear Corporation in the early 1980’s previously unattainable gain and bandwidths in a DC coupledamplifier became easily available to any design engineer. The basic achievement realized by the currentfeedback topology is to de-couple the signal gain from the loop gain part of the overall tra
The UC3825 family of PWM control ICs is optimized for high-frequency switched-mode power-supply applications. This application note describes the development of a 1.5 MHz current-mode IC-controlled 50W power supply. Push-pull topology is used for this DC-to-DC converter application of +48V input to +5V at 10A output. Increases in switching speed and dynamic performance are made possible by the U
