The first article of this two-part series, published in the February 2001 issue of Analog Applications Journal, discussed the THS8083EVM hardware, a TI evaluation module featuring the THS8083 (a triple 8-bit high-speed ADC with integrated PLL for component video and PC graphics digitizing) and the THS8134 (a triple 8-bit video DAC). Having presented an overview of the features and EVM block diagram in the earlier article, we now turn our attention to the design of the complex programmable logic device (CPLD) on the EVM and the design of the PC-user software.

First we will describe the overall functionality of the CPLD, which operates in combination with the THS8083 to enable the display of a digitized PC graphics or video signal on an LCD flat-panel display connected to the board. Then we will focus on the implementation of the communication protocol between the PC and the EVM that eliminates the need for a microcontroller and therefore is more generally applicable as a methodology for rapid hardware prototyping. We will illustrate some of the EVM and THS8083 features using the PC software graphical user interface (GUI); and, in particular, we will implement an algorithm for white-balance calibration.

TDM provides multiple devices a time slot to perform data transfer. Thus multiple users operate various channels; however each user has a set of channel(s) assigned for transmission and re

This application report provides a brief overview on the serial bootloader that resides in ROM on the CC2538 and CC13xx/CC26xx devices. This document shows how the bootloader protocol can be used to perform basic operations like erasing and programming the flash of the devices. The device bootloaders support universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) and serial peripheral interface (SPI) as the protocol transportation layer. The example project is created in Visual Studio, Visual Studio Express 2010 and utilizes a library called Serial Bootloader Library to demonstrate an implementation of the serial bootloader protocol on Windows.

The JPEG standard pertains to compression of still images. Performing JPEG at the rate of 30 frames per second in isolation as individual images is known as motion JPEG (MJPEG). This demonstration uses:
