Texas Instruments provides Spice models for operational amplifiers. These Spice models however are in a generic text format. This note describes how to take these models and import them into the most widely used simulation program - PSpice .
Voltage translation between buses with incompatible logic levels can be accomplished using Texas Instruments (TI) translation-voltage clamps (TVC) or standard crossbar technology (CBT) devices. CBT devices in this application offer flexibility in designs protection of circuits that are sensitive to high-state voltage-level overshoots and cost efficiency.
In most sampling systems the inherent characteristics of the sample-hold dictate its overall performance. However one error source that sample-hold users do have under their direct control is the external charge injection from the digital control signal. This is known as charge transfer when measured in coulombs or as charge offset when measured in volts. It is often also known as pedestal becaus
This application report summarizes the necessary steps to setup the direct memory access controller (DMA) to transfer data between the SCI and the data RAM of the microcontroller freeing the CPU during the entire message transmission. Detailed code examples are provided as guidelines for the different setup steps.
Thermal metrics such as qJA and qJC are used to compare thermal performance of plastic integrated circuit (IC) packages. The thermal conductivity of all materials of the IC packaging and of the test board affect the thermal resistance values reported by semiconductor manufacturers. Recent advancements in reporting thermal data include standard test-board designs. Texas Instruments (TI) has publi
Current sensing in power supplies and motor controls demand the use of a very low value resistor. Each application varies in need for resistance value power rating size form factor inductance temperature coefficient and accuracy. To meet some of these applications the copper of a printed circuit board (PCB) can be utilized but has some distinct limitations. This design note provides design
This report describes an all-digital implementation of an AGC on a TMS320C17 DSP. The AGC is designed specifically for modem applications.- The first section provides an overview of modem receiver structure and implementation.- The second section discusses the AGC block diagram and the motivation for using an AGC in a modem receiver.- The third section covers the AGC hardware and s
The first section describes the impact of the clock jitter introduced by the analog phase−locked loop module (ZPLL) on the system clock (SYSCLK) and the peripheral clock (ICLK). In the second section the resulting impact on the CAN communication is explained.
