There are numerous applications that require the addition of a Bluetooth™ wireless interface for both audio and data applications to the OMAP5910. This is a fairly straightforward effort that requires very little external logic thanks to circuitry in the OMAP5910 that is perfect for supporting a Bluetooth interface. This application note describes how by using a Bluetooth module the Blueto

This application report presents a TMS320F240 DSP solution for obtaining the angular position and speed of a resolver. A resolver is an absolute mechanical position sensor used, for example, in se

ACPR Performance of TRF3703xx using TI DAC5687

Video signals captured directly from charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras naturally have interlaced effects and are in a 4:2:2 interleaved format. They typically need to be converted to a 4:2:0 planar format before being encoded because most video compression standards accept input only in 4:2:0 format. It is better to reduce or remove the interlaced artifacts in the original video signal when fe

Boost LED drivers are often used to drive LEDs in series. If an LED fails while open, overvoltage protection (OVP) is necessary to avoid the damage to a boost integrated circuit (IC) or output capaci

The UCC3817A/18A/19A family of PFC controllers (UCC3817A family) is pin for pin compatible with the UCC3817/18/19 family of devices (UCC3817 family). The output stage of UCC3817A family has been updated to allow use of a smaller external gate drive resistor values. For some power supply designs where an adequately high enough gate drive resistor can not be used the UCC3817A family offers a more r

This document describes issues of interest related to migration from the TMS320VC5510 to the TMS320VC5502. The objective of this document is to indicate differences between the two devices. Functions that are identical between the two devices are not included. For detailed information on the specific functions of either device refer to the following data manuals and reference guides: the TMS320VC

The C5000™ Virtual Register Control Interface (VRCI) is a standard control protocol defined and implemented on many of software frameworks running on C5000 DSPs.

ALVT the advanced low-voltage logic family offers high-performance BiCMOS devices that are functional at 3.3-V and 2.5-V V sub CC and have low propagation delay low static-power consumption and 64 mA current drive. Other features include 5-V tolerance; auto3-state; bus hold; partial power down hot insertion and live insertion; and excellent simultaneous-switching and output-skew performance.
