Fault tolerance transient protection and interference rejection are valuable features that isolation amplifiers bring to critical circuitry. Two useful examples of how designers can employ isolation amplifiers to improve their systems? performance and reliability are process temperature controllers and electrocardiogram (ECG) amplifiers.
Code Composer Studio Integrated Development Environment v4 is a major new release based on the Eclipse open source software framework. The Eclipse software framework is used for many different applications but it was originally developed as an open framework for creating development tools. We have chosen to base CCStudio v4 on Eclipse as it offers an excellent software framework for building soft
The TPS61060, TPS61061, and TPS61062 are efficient white light-emitting diode (WLED) drivers. These ICs also can be configured as a constant voltage power supply. When in constant voltage mode, the TP
This application bulletin explains how to retrieve data from the DDC112. It elaborates on the discussion given in the DDC112 data sheet and provides additional information to allow you more flexiblity during retrieval. It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of the DDC112's operation.

This application note presents novel power architectures with regard to the ac-dc total power supply for anLCD TV design achieving higher power efficiencies and lower cost. The revolutionary iHVM™ mechanism enables intelligent LED bias control to minimize power loss. On the other hand the fast LED drivers provide precise LED ON-OFF control. In this report two reference designs are discussed.
This paper gives and introduction on Image Coding based on Fractals and develops a simple algorithm to be used as a reference design.The Fractal Coding System described in this project was developed from the ideas proposed by Arnaud Jacquin in his paper published in IEEE Trans. Image Coding Based on Fractal Theory of Iterated Contractive Image TransformationTwo implementations of the pro
This application report describes the hardware and software needed to interface the TLC5618A dual 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to the TMS320C203 digital signal processor (DSP). The solutio
This application report describes how to use timer_A3 to implement a UART function. The included examples are specifially for the MSP430x11x(1) family, but they can be adapted to any MSP430 family mem
The IC voltage comparators available in the past have been designed primarily for low voltage high-speedoperation. As a result these devices have high input error currents which limit their usefulness in highimpedance circuitry. An IC is described here that drastically reduces these error currents with only amoderate decrease in speed.
Signal termination is very common in bidirectional communication systems. Termination allows for receiving signals while transmitting different signals at the same time. With the increasing popularity of asymmetrical digital subscriber lines (ADSL) the requirement for a low power line driver amplifier combined with line termination becomes a very difficult goal. This application note examines the
This document discusses the power consumption of the Texas Instruments TMS320C6474 digital signal processor (DSP). The power consumption on the TMS320C6474 device is highly application-dependent; therefore a power spreadsheet that estimates power consumption is provided along with this application report. This spreadsheet can be used to model power consumption for user applications such as power
