In software development, perhaps the most critical, yet least predicitible stage in the process is debugging. Of the many factors that come into play when debugging software applications, time is of u

This application report is intended to illustrate the capability of cascading multiple Texas Instruments (TI) linking addressable scan port (LASP) devices. It explains configuring the secondary test access ports (TAPs) of cascaded LASPs with the help of a single linking shadow protocol and protocol-bypass inputs. Several examples of linking shadow protocol along with timing requirements and scan

At first glance, a welding machine, a fetal heart monitor, a tractor, a bulldozer, and a PC have little in common, but all of them have a machine-man interface to communicate information. If your sys

Practical Guidelines to Designing an EMI Compliant PoE Powered Device with Non-Isolated DC/DC

OPA836 OPA2836 OPA836 Low-Power Op Amp Applications

A digital-to analog converter (DAC) translates digital signals to analog signals. For example, a 12-bit DAC takes a 12-bit binary number, called an input code, and converts it into one of 4,096 analog

This application report provides SIMPLE SWITCHER™ PCB layout guidelines.

DN500 -- Packet Transmission Basics

The TMS320TCI6842 integrates an EMAC module which can be used to move data between the devices on the same Ethernet network. It supports 10/100/1000Mbps and four types of interfaces to the physical layer device (PHY): MII RMII GMII and RGMII.

This document provides EMAC bandwidth data measured under various operating conditions. The CPU load relevant to the Ethernet packet transfer is also

Some members of the Stellaris microcontroller family have an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) module. The hardware resolution of the ADC is 10 bits; however due to noise and other accuracy diminishing factors the true accuracy is less than 10 bits. This application report provides a software-based oversampling technique resulting in an improved effective number of bits (ENOB) in the conversion
