The MSP430 family of low-power microcontrollers are ideal for low-power smart-sensor applications. This application report describes a method for interfacing an accelerometer to an MSP430F2012, creati

This document provides information on the TCI6487/8 module throughput.

The TPIC6C596 can be used to switch a variety of low-side loads. Some loads induce transients that can be coupled onto components and traces that can feed back into the control circuits of the TPIC6C596. While the device is designed to minimize interference from external noise the user should plan the board layout and external component placement to help reduce interference in very noisy applicat

Texas Instruments TMSx70 microcontrollers built using TI's F035 Flash process have one or two test pins used for advanced testing of the Flash memory. This application report discusses how to utilize these pins when designing circuit boards for one of these processors.

This application report presents various system designs possible using the FlatLink? transmitter: SN75LVDS83B, and the FlatLink? receivers: SN75LVDS82 and SN75LVDS86A. These are low-voltage differen

This application report describes how to communicate with the Hercules™ serial peripheral interface (SPI) bootloader. The SPI bootloader is a small piece of code that can be programmed at the beginning of Flash to act as an application loader as well as an update mechanism for applications running on a Hercules Cortex™-R4 based TMS570LS12x microcontroller.

There is an increasing demand to bring video and image processing capabilities to devices like video IP phones cellular phones and personal data assistants (PDAs). The images are brought to the user on liquid crystal displays that usually use thin film transistor (TFT) technology. These LCD devices require very specific timings and row/column formatting that can make them difficult to directly i

The availability of dual and quad packaged FET op amps offers the designer all the traditional capabilitiesof FET op amps including low bias current and speed and some additional advantages. The cost-peramplifieris lower because of reduced package costs. This means that more amplifiers are available toimplement a function at a given cost making design easier. At the same time the availab

A DSP/BIOS PCM3002 codec Device Driver for the TMS320C6416 TEB Application Report

The new dual low-drop-out (LDO) regulators on the TPS767D325 are custom designed to supply the latest DSP core and I/O system supply voltages. But the LDO regulators on this IC meet more than their new voltage requirements; specifically they enable faster supply current transient capability. This family of LDOs also includes the TPS767D318 and TPS767D301. This new family of 2-A regulators also ac
