This document describes parasitic effects in integrated circuits (ICs) and the problems that result when protecting analog components using conventional methods. It presents examples of how these problems can be removed by using the TLC7726 hex clamping circuit

As more and more system components become embedded within the system processor chip new techniques are required for debug. Signals and busses that were historically available for probe connection at external package pins are now hidden from the users within the processor package. This problem is referred to as vanishing visibility meaning that the user can no longer employ traditional techniques

The TMS320C6410 DSP Hardware Designer?s Resource Guide is a collection of the most commonly used technical documentation, and models for DSP hardware system designers. Topics covered include Getting S

This application report describes the content of the TMS320C6000 Multichannel Vocoder (MCV) Technology Demonstration Kit (TDK). The kit includes a GUI host program that allows the user to configure multiple channels of several vocoders being processed on a ?C6x EVM. The TDK also includes a number of application reports which are listed in the References section of this report.Source Code exam

This application report describes the TPS370x-xx Supply Voltage Supervisor (SVS) family of devices. The report includes a description of the circuit and a discussion of the differences between members of the TPS370x family. In addition the report describes circuit features in detail and gives application examples. Layout and design issues are also discussed.

An isolated bias supply is implemented in this evaluation board with LM34927 Constant-On-Timeregulator. The LM34927 regulator integrates both the high and low side power switches essential forcreating isolated buck converter.The board specifications are as follows:

• Input Range: 20 V to 100 V
• Primary Output Voltage: 10 V
• Secondary (Isolated) Output Voltage: 9.5

This reference design presents a self-resonant reset forward converter using the UCC38C42 BiCMOS Low-Power Current-Mode PWM Controller. The input voltage for this converter is compatible with the telecom input voltage range of 36 VDC to 72 VDC. The converter is designed to operate at a switching frequency of 525 kHz requires minimal parts and supports an isolated 2.5-V 10-A output. The complete

This application report describes how you can gluelessly interface the Texas Instruments(TI)(tm) TLC320AC01/02 Analog Interface Circuits (AICs) to the synchronous serial port (SSP) buffered serial port (BSP) and time-division multiplexed serial port (TDM) on TI's TMS320C54x family of digital signal processors (DSPs). This applicaton report describes how to gluelessly interface the 'C54x DSPs to

This application note describes how to connect the cPCI hot-swap signal ENUM on the PCI2250 to an external open-drain buffer.

Often times, microcontrollers need to interface to a user through a serial terminal via RS-232. Automatic Baud Rate (ABR) detection allows matching of baud rates between communication terminals. This

The bq2031 fast-charge IC has two primary functions: lead-acid battery charge control and switch-mode power conversion control. This application note explains how to configure the bq2031 in buck-mode

Most high-speed data converters cannot be connected directly to a digital signal processor (DSP). The required transfer rates would tie up most of the DSP's I/O bandwidth. A FIFO is an appropriate solution for this problem because it can buffer a large block of data and the DSP can read data from the FIFO in a burst mode. This is much more efficient compared to single reads for every sampled valu

This application report focuses on cable for use with LVDS devices rather than printed-circuit board interconnections. After a brief introduction to LVDS the signal quality of seven different cables is evaluated using eye pattern measurements and TI's LVDS evaluation modules (EVMs). Since data transmission cable covers a wide range of cost and performance this paper provides guidance for cable s

This application report describes a method of synchronization that provides much more accuratesynchronization in systems with larger PDV. The method described attempts to detect minimum delays or'lucky packets'. The method also takes advantage of the DP83640 clock control mechanism to separatelycontrol clock rate and time corrections minimizing overshoot or wild swings in the accuracy of t
