Application Note 1194 Failsafe Biasing of LVDS Interfaces

Selection and Specification of Crystals for Texas Instruments USB 2.0 Devices

This application report describes the TPS3801 and TPS3809 supply voltage supervisor (SVS) families of devices. The report gives a general introduction to reset generators followed by an overview of the technical parameters and the special features of the TPS380x. Each feature is discussed separately. Measurements make it easy to understand SVS principles of operation. Typical applications that inc

Operation and Benefits of Active-Clamp Forward Power Converters

Proper mounting of TO-3 packages is required to assure rated performance and reliability. Although the procedures are simple ignoring them can result in poor performance and catastrophic failure of the device.

This document describes the Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) LVDS Serdes 48 evaluation module (EVM) kit. The LVDS Serdes 48 EVM kit is used to evaluate and design high data throughput prototypes using the

Viterbi decoder lies at the heart of all of the wireless standards. Viterbi coprocessors (VCP2) are programmable peripherals used to decode convolutional codes. It is integrated into Texas Instruments TMS320TCI648x digital signal processor (DSP). This application report gives the channel density for VCP2 under various conditions the CPU load for pre-processing VCP2 input data is also provided.

This test report discusses jitter transfer of the TI CDCVF2310 and CDCVF25081 clock drivers when driving the TI TLK1501 serial gigabit transceiver at 600 Mbit/sec. This application report summarizes t

S1240, 1241 App-Note Accessing the Onboard Temperature Diode in the ADS1240 and ADS1241

This document discusses the proper way to initialize the registers of the AIC given certain specifications. Details of the setup criteria equations defining the acceptable options and calculated data are presented to illustrate the solution.

For many applications which use ultra high-speed ADCs latency can be a critical performance specification. For example if the ADC is used in any kind of feedback loop then the absolute latency is an important factor. For a MIMO system such as a phased array radar the relative difference and variability in latency becomes important. This application note covers latency in the GSPS ADC products

Average consumers often weigh heavily on cost versus power rating of audio amplifiers as their basis for purchasing one. Depending on the marketing strategy the powerrating methodology for audio amplifiers can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.The purpose of this document is to clarify three commonly used power ratings: average power peak power and PMPO.The following Texas Instru
