LIDAR System Design for Automotive/Industrial/Military Applications

The parallel architecture of the 32-bit multiprocessor TMS320C80 ('C80) digital signal processor (DSP) offers incredible horsepower that is underutilized without a high-speed memory interface. The 'C80 contains a built-in interface for SDRAM. This document discusses the interface between the 'C80 and the TMS626802-10 SDRAM the SDRAM pins and the SDRAM operation. A timing evaluation of the inter

Analog Applications Journal is a collection of analog application articles designed to give readers a basic understanding of TI products and to provide simple but practical examples for typical applications. Written notonly for design engineers but also for engineering managers technicians system designers and marketing and salespersonnel the book emphasizes general application concepts ove

The first optimization step that you can perform on C source code for the TMS320C62xx is to use intrinsic operators. Intrinsics are used like functions and produce assembly language statements that would otherwise be inexpressible in C. The problem is that once you have performed the first optimization step your C source code is no longer ANSI C compatible. The code proposed within this appli

This application report and its associated software demonstrate the ability of the MSP430 to generate NTSC video signals in real time using the Timer_A Module. A pong video gaming system is implemente

This document provides general guidance on the use of tools and calculations for thermal estimates of component operating temperatures for analog devices. Of particular focus are components with d

A SPICE macromodel that captures the “personality” of Texas Instruments CMOS op-amps has beendeveloped. The salient features of the macromodel are a MOSFET input stage Miller compensation anda current-source output stage. A description of the model is provided along with correlation to actualdevice behavior.

This application note describes how to extend the battery life of a circuit that uses Texas Instrument's TPS61040 low power dc-dc boost converter for driving white light LEDs. Power loss in the current sense resistor is discussed and a method for reducing this loss is presented. Design equations are given for calculating the proper resistor values for a white light LED driver that includes prov

Because of the complex nature of the quadrature modulator understanding the gain measurement can be confusing. This application report gives a detailed explanation on how the gain is measured and specified for the TRF370x quadrature modulator family.

How to Optimize Performance of AMC1304/05M25 in Voltage Sensing AMC1304M25, AMC1304L25, AMC1305M25, AMC1304L25

This document provides analysis details and specific results of the CPU45 errata affecting the following devices:

• MSP430F2274
• MSP430F2254
• MSP430F2234
• MSP430F2272
• MSP430F2252
• MSP430F2232

MSP430 erratum PORT17 describes the behavior of certain MSP430 devices that can latch-up under specific conditions on the general-purpose I/O pins. This document describes the conditions that can cause the latch up the affected devices and pins and workarounds to prevent the latch up from occurring.Due to the multiple factors that can cause the latch-up to occur it is challenging to provide a

Typically interrupts are generated by devices that need to give or take data from the Texas Instruments (TI) (tm) TMS320C2xx for example analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters or other processors. When the C2xx recognizes an interrupt signal it suspends execution of the code specific to the particular interrupt event (Interrupt Subroutine).The C2xx family supports t

This application note covers the RS-232 circuit functions an explanation of hardware handshaking a stepby step analysis of the hardware handshaking between a local and remote terminal and powerrequirements/dissipation of the DS14C335.

UCC28060 can be implemented in an ACDC single stage solution with transition mode interleaved Flyback topology. This note will discuss the design considerations and give a practical design example.

The bq2754x has many data flash constants that can configure the device with various different options for most features. The data flash of the bq2754x is divided into sections which are described in detail in this document.
