This application note for the bq2902/3 provides a functional description of the parts and discusses charge control discharge control and practical considerations involving cell use resetting the IC and reduction of electromagneti
The TMS320C8x (?C8x) family of parallel multi-processors (PP) provide solutions for videoconferencing and telecommunications applications. This document shows the efficient performance of the 32-bit ?C8x PP using the vector maximum search benchmark algorithm and the PP?s advanced assembly language features. It provides an understanding of the PP architecture and shows how to write efficient code f
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout for Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) is critical to achieve proper converter operation good thermal performance and excellent radiated EMI performance. Optimized board layout for low radiated EMI is made very simple by the package and pin arrangement of the SIMPLE SWITCHER ® Synchronous Buck Converter family LM4360x and LM4600x
Simultaneous-switching noise can generate and propagate glitches in electronic systems. Therefore system designers are faced with challenges to minimize simultaneous-switching noise while increasing switching speed and improving signal quality. This report presents the performance of different TI logic devices under various simultaneous-switching conditions. Factors such as the number of bits sw
This application report describes the interface between the Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320C6000™ digital signal processor (DSP) host port and the Intel 80960 microprocessor. The document includes schematics showing connections between the two devices PAL equations and verification that timing requirements are met for each device (tables and timing diagrams).
This document describes how to create a boot package and bootload one Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) TMS320C548 digital signal processor (DSP) with another TMS320C54x DSP.
This application report presents a method for interfacing the DAC8814 - a four-channel, current output, 16-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converter - to the MSP430F449 processor using the HPA449 fr
This document describes the logic to connect the SPARC Mbus to the TI Futurebus+ (FB+) chipset host interface (HIF). This logic is a translator of Mbus to HIF transactions and vice versa. Direct and paged-memory are described along with techniques for a 64-bit-only data path and a dynamically configurable 32-bit Mbus/32-bit HIF or 64-bit Mbus/64-Bit HIF.
Block floating-point (BFP) implementation provides an innovative method of floating-point emulation. This application report implements the BFP algorithm for the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm on a Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320C54x DSP by taking advantage of the exponent encoder and normalization units on the DSP. The BFP algorithm as it applies to the FFT allows fractional signal gain adj
