Digital signal processor (DSP) architectures are designed to handle finite number precision. Compared to floating point architecture fixed-point DSPs offer a limited degree of precision but are usually more cost effective and offer far superior performance.To work with fixed-point formats programmers need to take into consideration that each of the numerical operations should avoid overflo
This document gives two examples of reprogramming the flash memory in-system on the TMS470 devices. These examples are intended as a reference to enable users to create their own in-system programming (ISP) methods. The reference design includes TMS470 software for use with the IAR Embedded Workbench tool. NOTE: The examples in this application report require the Flash API Modules (
Temperature is the most commonly measured physical parameter in a variety of systems, including automotive, industrial, and consumer domains. There are various temperature transducers available to add
This article has been contributed to the TI Embedded Processors Wiki. It describes how to model power consumption for a user's application and to present some measured power scenarios for the TMS320DM816x DaVinci™ digital media processors TMS320C6A816x C6-Integra™ DSP+ARM processors and AM389x Sitara™ ARM® microprocessors (MPUs) PG1.0 samples using a provided power estimati
This application report demonstrates an easy way to modify the precharge current level and the fast-charge current level. Some applications may require the system to run below the V<sub>LOWV</sub> thr
This document discusses a fast way to calculate logarithms (base 2) on a TMS320C30 or TMS320C40. This TMS320C30/C40 function calculates the log base two of a number in about half the time of conventional algorithms. The method can easily be scaled for faster execution if less accuracy is desired. The mathematics of the function is discussed in detail. There are plots to determine accuracy at diffe
This software demonstration combines real−time D1 Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) encoding and decoding of images on the DM642 Evaluation Module (EVM) with networking functionality.
The JPEG standard pertains to compression of still images. Performing JPEG compression at the rate of 30 frames per second in isolation as individual images is known as motion JPEG (MJPEG). This demon
In higher power applications to utilize the full line power and reduce line current harmonics PFC Pre-regulators are generally required. In these high power applications interleaving PFC stages can reduce inductor volume and reduce input and output capacitor ripple current. This results in smaller overall magnetic volume and filter capacitor volume increasing the converters overall power density.
This document briefly describes the TRF2020 evaluation board and associated software. The combination of the evaluation board and software provides a means to fully exercise the TRF2020 device using common RF bench test equipment.
