This application report discusses a way to increase the efficiency of the boost converter in a backlightdriver by reducing conduction and AC losses in the inductor thereby increasing the overall efficiency ofthe backlight driver at higher loads.

Improving Machinery Vibration Analysis

This application report describes the implementation of a single-phase electronic electricity meter using the Texas Instruments MSP430AFE25x metrology family of processors in two-chip architecture. The metering processor (MSP430AFE25x) assumes the role of a slave controlled by a host microcontroller (MCU) the MSP430F663x.

Thermal impedance (junction to ambient) is one of several indices reported to reflect the thermal performance of a package. This document shows the impact of the wind-tunnel k-factor test-board design parameters on thermal impedance results. It presents a software modelling approach using the THEATACAL software package. The design and results are provided with an analysis of the variance. Verifica

The availability of dual and quad packaged FET op amps offers the designer all the traditional capabilitiesof FET op amps including low bias current and speed and some additional advantages. The cost-peramplifieris lower because of reduced package costs. This means that more amplifiers are available toimplement a function at a given cost making design easier. At the same time the availab

This application report describes the parallelization and optimization of a hydraulic simulator kernel on a Texas Instruments (TI?) TMS320C40 multi-DSP (digital signal processor) platform. Research is

A DSP/BIOS PCM3002 codec Device Driver for the TMS320C6416 TEB Application Report

The new dual low-drop-out (LDO) regulators on the TPS767D325 are custom designed to supply the latest DSP core and I/O system supply voltages. But the LDO regulators on this IC meet more than their new voltage requirements; specifically they enable faster supply current transient capability. This family of LDOs also includes the TPS767D318 and TPS767D301. This new family of 2-A regulators also ac

This document is intended to show the integration into and operation of the Bluetopia® Bluetooth™ Protocol Stack and Profiles within the bounds of the eXpressDSP software Reference Framework Level 3 (RF3). This integration incorporates a serial transport layer and Stonestreet One?s (SS1) existing Bluetopia core stack and Hands-Free and Headset profiles IP with the framework defined by RF

This application note describes typical architectures for optical systems employing a single DMD device for projection applications, primarily for small portable projectors. Pros and cons of architectures are discussed in general terms. Front- and rear screen applications are discussed briefly. Techniques and trades for maximizing critical system performance parameters, defined by the application, are discussed. Unique considerations for DMD devices in optical systems are addressed. A general discussion of image quality and specific design metrics for acceptable performance is included.

Note the majority of this document describes the use of the DMD in a projection optical system, and the DMD is designed with this application in mind. However, there are many other ways to use the DMD to manage and steer light energy. This document addresses some of the non-projection applications briefly, but cannot anticipate all uses.

The purpose of this application report is to enable easy migration for designs based on the USCI_A and USCI_B modules to the eUSCI_A and the eUSCI_B modules. The document highlights the new features in the eUSCI module and the main differences between the USCI and the eUSCI modules.

The host port interface (HPI) is an 8/16-bit parallel port used to interface a host processor or device to the Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) TMS320C54x digital signal processor (DSP). The HPI enables a glueless interface with host processors containing single or dual data strobes in addition to separate or multiplexed address and data buses. This application report presents a hardware interface and t
