The fields of telepresence and virtual reality have experienced a surge of activity in recent years. The goal of these fields is to place users in an immersive environment that behaves like the…
The smart meter reference design from Texas Instruments is a comprehensive tool that demonstrates the capabilities of a smart meter. The smart meter board (SMB) performs energy or electricity…
This application report discusses some of the key performance results when using LMK0480x/LMK04906to implement hitless switching between reference clocks. Hitless Switching is required in…
In high-power server applications to meet high-efficiency and green standards some power-supply designers have found it easier to use a phase-shifted, full-bridge converter. This is because the…
System designers traditionally power the high-speed data converter in their systems from a low-noise low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) in order to achieve the performance described in the…
This application note describes various schemes of interfacing serialized low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) data outputs from high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to a…
Texas Instruments has introduced a family of devices suited to meet the demand for high-speed high-IF sampling ADC devices like the ADS5500 ADC capable of sampling at 125 MSPS. To realize the…
RF systems are highly dependent on accurate clocks for correct operation. A deviation in clock frequency is directly reflected as a deviation in radio frequency. This can degrade RF performance…
This application report describes the implementation of a low-cost one- or two-phase electronic electricity meter using the Texas Instruments MSP430i20xx metering processor. This application…
The TMS320VC5420 and TMS320VC5421 dual CPU DSPs feature two 6-channel DMA Controllers (DMAC) plus Host Port Interface Controllers (HPI) for efficient movement of data without involvement of the…
High-speed op amps come in current- and voltage-feedback versions. Voltage-feedback amplifiers are sometimes de-compensated to allow greater speed. This technique has been superceded by…
