In the world of portable electronics one of the key care-abouts for consumers is the time they can operate their devices on battery. A top priority therefore in the portable electronics industry is to develop ?low-power? solutions. To enable our customers the portable electronic device providers to succeed in this endeavor TI has developed tooling to measure power consumption on customer targe
Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) is a common way to overcome EMI issues. This application report provides an overall view of the principles behind SSC. It also includes practical considerations about why when and how to use the CDCS502 and CDCS503 SSC clock generator. When SSC is included early in the design process it can reduce the redesign cycle and drastically decrease the cost of new product
This application report provides you a design process overview procedures to use the evaluation module and software and helpful troubleshooting techniques.
This application report describes the setup and procedures to measure power consumption on a CC2650 device operating as a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) ?Peripheral? device, also known as a Bluetooth Smar
The TPS61181 is an ideal LED driver IC for medium form factor LCD backlighting. This device has a built-in high-efficiency boost regulator with integrated 1.5-A/40-V power MOSFET. It provides six current-sink regulators of 25 mA. The device can support up to 60 white LEDs. In addition the boost output automatically adjusts its voltage to total LEDs forward voltage to optimize the whole solution
This report describes the effect that high local oscillator (LO) harmonics have on the I/Q balance of a complex (I/Q) modulator. The imbalance that is generated has a direct impact on sideband suppression performance of the I/Q modulator. This application report discusses the theoretical distortion generated by the harmonics along with measured results showing the effect on sideband suppression
Many applications require bidirectional data transfer between 5-V and 3.3-V systems. Two methods of maintaining the lowest possible total system power consumption and safe operation with mixed-mode si
This application report describes techniques for measuring throughput and latency of OMAP TIARM925T data accesses through the on-chip traffic controller. Complete examples are given using external memories such as SDRAM and SRAM for reads writes and back-to-back read-write sequences.
The UCC3981 Power Controller provides a self-powered USB hub with a local 3.3V regulated voltage, as well as four 5V regulated voltages for USB ports. The 3.3V linear regulator provides power to a loc
The demand for driving 1.5-V HSTL signals for high-integrated and low-voltage digital logic is increasing. Most current systems use LVDS, LVPECL, or 2.5-V LVCMOS signaling levels. Therefore, a soluti
