Some of the pins that the TMS320C6415 and TMS320C6416 digital signal processors (DSPs) use for their third multichannel buffered serial port (McBSP2) are multiplexed with the pins of the PCI serial EEPROM interface. In many applications the only use for the PCI EEPROM is for auto-initialization of the PCI configuration space registers. Once PCI is configured the PCI EEPROM interface can be disab

This document discusses concerns ramifications and solutions for applications involving live-insertion of interface circuits. Relevant and sometimes misused terms are defined including live-insertion hot-plugging and glitch-free operation. Elements of the circuit solutions include failsafe receivers drivers that are high impedance when disabled and ESD protection.

TMS320F281x Flash API version 1.00 has been revised to version 2.10. This document provides a list of questions and answers concerning the effect of the mandatory updates on existing applications.

This application report describes the implementation of MPEG-4 motion compensation on the Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) TMS320C62x digital signal processor (DSP). MPEG-4 is a standard for coding of audiovisual information being developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG). MPEG-4 became an International Standard in December 1998. Motion compensation is a basic component of MPEG-4 and other vi

Voltage margining is a means of verifying the robustness of a product by intentionally adjusting its supply voltages to their limits and then evaluating the product’s performance to ensure that it still meets its specifications at the power supply’s extremes. The TPS62130 synchronous step-down dc-dc converter features an integrated output voltage scaling function that allows for +5% margining by u
