While On Screen Display (OSD) functionality became prevalent as a cheaper alternative to using buttons/knobs to control television settings in today's society it seems like everyday a new gadget comes out which uses OSDs.

Imagine a video phone or set-top application for a minute; both of these applications require video overlaid with some graphics OSD and may require some blending between v

The TSC2007 Microsoft Windows® CE (WinCE) 6.0 touch driver was developed with an I²C™ control interface; the code has been tested on a Samsung SC32442 application processor. This application report discusses the TSC2007 driver including the hardware connection between the TSC2007 and the platform the WinCE 6.0 driver code structure and the installations.

As an extension to the voltage ratings given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the TAS5111 TAS5112 TAS5121 and TAS5122 data sheets this application note gives a more explicit description of the maximum limit for peak voltage vs. time on the BST and OUT pins. Additionally a measurement technique and test setup is described and application design guidelines given on how to avoid exceed

This application report explains the factors that determine the low output power switching frequencies when using the TPS6101x step-up converters.

This application report describes how to use the TLC5922 TLC5923 and TLC5924 to drive high-current LEDs. These ICs are designed to provide 16 individually controllable constant-current sinks. However the 16 outputs can be connected in parallel to increase the current drive capability. Paralleling the outputs of these ICs allows the TLC5922 TLC5923 and TLC5924 to drive high-power LEDs such as

Using Cascodes with the TL1451

This paper presents the high speed modem with multilevel multidimensional modulation. The multilevel linear combination of shifted prolate wave spheroidal functions with dual orthogonality is used as information carrying signal. It enables transition from two-dimensional basis (Phase Shift Keying Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) to more dimensional basis (Multilevel Multidimensional Modulatio

Spectrum Signal Processing?s Solano™ Communications IC provides high-bandwidth communication paths for multiple processors and I/O modules. Solano's four full-duplex high-speed LVDS links provide an aggregate bandwidth of over 13.6 Gbps per node. A network of DSPs implemented using this IC provides system throughput that can be many times higher than that offered by conventional bussed or s

This application report explains the similarities and differences between the Texas Instruments TPS2205/TPS2211 PC Card Power Interface Switches and the Micrel MIC2563A/MIC2562A devices. The report provides a detailed examination of the parallel interfaces employed by each device. The interface to the Ricoh Cardbus PCMCIA is also examined showing the compatibility with the TPS2205.

Power Supply Design for Power-over-Ethernet Applications

This application report illustrates two examples to monitor an incoming PWM signal using the versatile programmable high-end timer (N2HET). Both examples can be run in either the Hercules™ HDK or the LaunchPad board. The application report shows the N2HET program examples the steps to setting up the N2HET registers as well as basic system settings utilizing the HalCoGen.

This application report describes the features of the on-chip ROM for the TMS320C5517 device. Included is a description of the bootloader and how to interface with it for each of the possible boot dev

The TPS2400 has fixed turnon and turnoff thresholds of 3 V and 6.9 V respectively making it an ideal overvoltage protector for 3.3-V and 5-V loads that are 6.9-V tolerant. However many loads have an operating voltage that is greater than 6.9 V. To be compatible with these loads the overvoltage threshold of the protector circuit can be raised above 6.9 V using the scheme presented in this appli
