The I2C bus is a very popular and powerful bus used for communication between a master (or multiple masters) and a single or multiple slave devices.

This application note is aimed at helping users understand how the I2C bus works.

Converting the small output current of a photo-diode transducer to a fast responding voltage is oftenchallenging. This application report provides some ways to use high-speed current feedback and voltagefeedback op amps to do the job.

The UC1637 is a pulse-width modulator circuit for a variety of PWM motor drive and amplifier applications requiring either unidirectional or bidirectional drive circuits. When used to replace conventi

An effective system-level board design requires termination of specific pins and taking advantage of idle and power-down modes on these low power VC5503/5506/5507/5509A digital signal processors (DSPs). This can be achieved by controlling unused pins and dynamically turning off all peripherals and internal functional units when not in use. The benefit is that the DSP and application consume only a

The Texas Instruments TFP401 is one device in a family of TI PanelBus™ flat panel display products that simplifies digital display systems design by offering value-added flexibility and reliability to the system designer. The TFP401 is a DVI-compliant flat panel digital receiver that supports display resolutions ranging from VGA to UXGA in 24-bit true-color pixel format. The TFP401 offers d

The DSP controller TMS320F240 has a programmable dead band generator to insert a dead band between two PWM outputs. The polarity of PWM channels (active high or active low) can be controlled using the ACTR register. The appropriate dead band between two PWM outputs can be inserted using the DBTCON register. This document discribes how to configure the PWM outputs with dead band for different powe

The SN74ABT3614 is a clocked FIFO memory with enhanced features such as byte-swapping parity-generation and parity-checking. The four sections of this document describe the architectural implementation of these features the Port-B configurations for bus-matching and byte-swapping the internal register specifics for parity-generation and parity checking and an internetworking application using

Many applications require multiple analog-to-digital converters (ADC) in a system. Cascading multiple ADCs enables the use of a single data receiver or a small FPGA. This offers lower power consumption and independent ADC usage. This application report describes how multiple ADCs (ADS8410/13) work in a cascade mode. The ADS8410/13 integrated circuit offers a high-speed (200 Mbps) LVDS serial inter

Two design features of the Texas Instruments ADC0801 series of A/D converters provide for easysolutions to many system design problems. The combination of differential analog voltage inputs and avoltage reference input that can range from near zero to 5VDC are key to these application advantages.

This document describes the main differences between the TMS320TCI6616 and TMS320TCI6618 devices and how to migrate the TMS320TCI6616-based system design to the TMS320TCI6618 design.

This document contains implementation instructions for the DDR2 interface contained on the TMS320DM4xx Digital Media System-on-Chip (DMSoC) device. The approach to specifying interface timing for the DDR2 interface is quite different than on previous devices.

The previous approach specified device timing in terms of data sheet specifications and simulation models. The customer was required to

This application note discusses the features of the TLC2552 and TLV2542 ADC. An SPI interface code example for the MSP430F149 to the TLC2552 ADC, and for the MSP430F149 to the TLV2542 ADC, are also pr

The bq24650 is a battery charger operates in three phases: precharge phase, fast-charge current regulation, and fast-charge voltage regulation. In many applications, a long precharge region is not req

This bulletin reflects the analysis power gained through knowledge of an op amp circuit's feedback factor. Feedback dictates the performance of an op amp both in function and in quality. The major specifications of the amplifier descibe an open-loop device awaiting feedback direction of the end circuit's function.
