System developers concerned about minimizing the current draw of TRF7960 -60A (and their variants) systems at startup time need guidance about handling the Regulator Control register (0x0B) value. Guidance is necessary due to the conditions under which the TRF796x/-6xA starts up with the automatic (default) setting of this register after the EN line (pin 28) is asserted from the controlling MCU

This application report compares the Texas Instruments high speed comparators to similar devices fromother manufacturers.

This chapter reprinted from Proceedings of the IEEE describes the origin and development of the TMS320 Family of Digital Signal Processors. The topics covered include:- An overview of the characteristics of digital signal processing- A history describing how digital signal processing has evolved over the last several decades- A description of the three generations of the TMS320 fam

This application report describes the TPS33x-xx supply-voltage supervisor (SVS) families of devices. The report gives a general introduction on generator resetting followed by an overview of the technical parameters and the special features of the TPS330x. Each feature is discussed separately. Measurements make it easy to understand SVS principles of operation. Typical applications that increase

For purposes of comparison this application report describes the key features of the TMS320DM36x (DM36x) and the TMS320DM35x (DM35x) digital media processors.

An ultrasound system employs a multichannel phased array of acoustic elements to form an image. Previous implementation of this function has used bipolar technology. 0.5u CMOS technology has the advantage of lowering the cost and increasing functionality compared to using bipolar technology.

This article presents a <b>power consumption</b> analysis of devices in a beacon-enabled <b>IEEE 802.15.4</b> network and describes how to achieve the lowest power consumption with <b>TIMAC</b> softwa

This application report familiarizes the reader with high-speed RTDX (HSRTDX). It is assumed that the reader already has a working knowledge of RTDX. This application report covers the HSRTDX target architecture HSRTDX target application integration HSRTDX performance hints and a discussion on HSRTDX application intrusion. This application report does not cover RTDX basics. See the on-line help

This application report describes how to interface the DAC7631 digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to the MSP430F449 mixed signal microcontroller.

Multiplication of analog signals has long been one of the most important nonlinear functions of analog circuit technology. Many signal sources however such as CCD sensors pin diodes or antennas deliver weak oscillating and simultaneously wide-band signals. But now a new multiplication method is available. Used as a wide-bandwidth Automatic Gain Control (AGC) application circuit the integra

Power factor corrected (PFC) preregulators are generally used in ac/dc converters operating above 75 W or to meet line harmonic requirements. This article reviews the design of a 100-W ac/dc power sta

This application report discusses how to design the Texas Instruments LMP8646 with the LMZ12003voltage regulator and a resistive load application.

This document discusses the power consumption of the Texas Instruments TMS320TCI6486 digital signal processor (DSP). The power consumption on the TMS320TCI6486 device is highly application-dependent;

ATL431 ATL431 Application Note

As real-time digital signal processing (DSP) systems become more complicated with multiple threads of execution and faster DSPs software development and debugging becomes more complicated. An MP3 player is a good example of a multi-threaded system that executes not only DSP-type (data) threads such as MP3 decoding sample rate conversion and graphic equalization but it also runs typical ?host/c

This document briefly describes the TRF6901 single-chip RF transceiver and the major RF design techniques and system considerations involved in using the TRF6901 to establish a wireless data link. Man

Modern audio and video compression algorithms usually take the advantage of logarithmic characteristics of human ears and eyes. This approach greatly reduces the redundancy in signals being processed. However it poses a requirement on fixed-point DSPs to handle these logarithmic and exponential operations.This application report provides a general guide to implement these operations on fixed-
