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…
This document describes the design considerations required to change a bq2040SN-C408 design to a bq2040-D411 solution. This includes both hardware and firmware considerations. Find the latest…
The UC1842/3/4/5 family of control ICs can implement off-line or DC-to-DC fixed-frequency current-mode control schemes with a minimal external parts count. This design note describes a circuit…
ORing controllers are used to replace diodes in applications looking to improve system efficiency. They are designed to behave like a diode as much as possible. However, at light loads, with low…
A nonlinear effect of signal transfer exists between an electrical and an optical device. For example the transfer function of a cathode-ray picture tube (CRT) produces an output intensity…
All semiconductor devices have an ESD voltage threshold above which they sustain damage. While circuit designers can provide some on-circuit ESD protection (typically in the 2000 V to 4000 V…
This paper describes several important ADSL AFE1302 evaluation criteria and design limitation factors including the relationship between total SNR and transmission data speed; loop attenuation…
High-speed digital-to-analog converters commonly offer a complementary current output signal. Most output interface implementations use either a resistive load and/or a transformer to convert…
The MSP430x5xx series of devices is the latest addition to the MSP430 family of microcontrollers. Although there are many common features between the MSP430x5xx and MSP430x2xx/MSP430x4xx…
This article describes how to initialize the DDR3 and uBoot on the TMS320DM814x DaVinci™ digital media processors (DSP) and AM387x ARM® microprocessors (MPUs) PG2.x samples using the software…
Getting the best performance out of an LDC requires a sensor suitable for the measurement. This app-note covers the parameters to consider when designing a sensor for a specific application.…
Tolerances on VCCIO, resistor and capacitor values, and internal silicon variations make calculation of the analog watchdog (AWD) components and period complicated. A method for calculating the…
The UCC2897A Current Mode Active Clamp PWM Controller offers a highly integrated feature set resulting in precision control required for an active clamp forward or flyback converter. The…
