When transmitting to and receiving data from a processing engine such as the TMS320C25 digital signal processor, it is common to encounter problems when interfacing to asynchronous devices. This chapt
In-field firmware update is a feature that is increasingly used in microcontroller-based applications today and important benefits include service and support to products that are already deployed in the field (for example being able to correct bugs or add new functionalities). As common as in-field firmware updates are in embedded systems this feature is also commonly exploited by attackers; if
Current-feedback amplifiers have nearly constant bandwidth for varying closed-loop gains. The reason is that the user can adjust the open-loop gain of the current-feedback amplifier by changing the feedback network without affecting the open-loop pole.
This document from Texas Instruments provides step by step information about Hardware and Software setup of FlashRunner FR03TXI0 required for standalone programming UCD30xx and UCD3138 digital control
Advances in digital signal processor (DSP) technology in the application areas of telephony imaging video and voice are often results of years of intensive research and development.
For example algorithm standards for telephony have taken years to develop. The implementation of these DSP algorithms is often very different from one application system to another because systems have for examp
The TMS320C6416 DSP Hardware Designer's Resource Guide is organized by development flow and functional areas to make your design effort as seamless as possible. Topics covered include Getting Started,
The UC3856 is a pin-for-pin-compatible, high-performance, bipolar version of the industry standard UC3846. It can replace the UC3846 with few circuit modifications, and it features increased speed, hi
USB connectivity on the TMS320F280x™ family of Digital Signal Controllers may be achieved using the TUSB3410 USB 2.0 to UART bridge chip. All needed USB descriptors and firmware for the TUSB3410 device are bootable from the on-chip memory of the TMS320F280x device through the I2C port and hence an external EEPROM is not needed in the system. A USB development system for the TMS320F2808 is e
As high performance Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) continue to improve in their performance the last stage interface from the final amplifier into the converter inputs becomes a critical element in the system design if the full converter dynamic range is desired. This application note describes the performance and design equations for a simple passive 2nd-order filter used successfully in AD
The TMS320C55xx digital signal processor (DSP) architecture features a protected pipeline composed of two decoupled segments: a fetch pipeline and an execution pipeline. In this architecture memory registers and other resources are accessed simultaneously by the instructions flowing through the pipeline. The pipeline protection unit guarantees that these accesses are performed in a correct order
This document describes issues of interest related to migration from the Texas Instruments TMS320C6211B/C6711/C6711B GFN package and TMS320C6713 GDP package to the TMS320C6713B digital signal processor (DSP) GDP package. The objective of this document is to indicate differences between these devices. Functions that are identical between these devices are not included. For detailed information on t
This application report describes the implementation of a bootloader that resides in the main memory in an MSP430™ microcontroller and that uses Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication but
