With the introduction of the TMS320C2xx (C2xx) family of low-cost digital signal processors (DSPs) many customers are discovering that they can utilize this DSP family for designs that previously required the processing power of a TMS320C5x (C5x) DSP. Although some code has been written for the C2xx reuse of the large repository of C5x application code can dramatically speed up designs using the

This application note introduces Texas Instrument’s LVDS devices with built-in pre-emphasis andequalization circuits recommends when it makes sense to employ them with the FPD-Link II SER/DESshows how to optimally interface them to the SER/DES and discusses distance gains that may berealized with their signal enhancing functions.

This application report implements the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) for Remote Radio Heads(RRHs). The designer can use this application report for developing CPRI-based repeater systems inpoint-to-point or multi-hop configurations. This application report consists of:

• Designs for the CPRI SerDes Repeater Boards for the Radio Equipment (RE) and Radio EquipmentController (REC)

The turbo and viterbi coprocessors (TCP/VCP) are programmable peripherals used to decode IS2000/3GPP turbo/viterbi codes. They are integrated into Texas Instruments TMS320C6416 digital signal processor (DSP). Turbo and viterbi decoders lie at the heart of all of the third-generation (3G) wireless standards. Their usage in 3G systems meets the tough bit-error-rate requirements and low signal-to-no

This application report is a general guide for using LVCMOS inputs to the CDCM6100x series of ultra-low jitter clock generators from Texas Instruments. This document explains the basic connectivity of LVCMOS inputs to the CDCM6100x and recommends several methods for using the device that ensure proper operation.

It is challenging to design a good current-to-voltage (transimpedance) converter using a voltage-feedbackamplifier (VFA). By definition a photodiode produces either a current or voltage output from exposure tolight. The transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is utilized to convert this low-level current to a usable voltagesignal and the TIA often needs to be compensated for proper operation. This a
