In addition multiple peripherals inside the device have been specifically optimized to enhance the performance of ac/dc applications such

In digital signal processor (DSP) applications it is important to transfer data to and from DSPs as well as between them at high speed and with high reliability. On single-board designs the on-chip integrated inputs/outputs (I/O) of the DSP (e.g. the multichannel buffered serial port (McBSP) can be used for short-distance runs. For board-to-board-links or even between racks/cabinets ano

Voltage-to-frequency converters (VFCs) provide unique characteristics when used as analog-to-digital (A/D) converters. Their excellent accuracy linearity and integrating input characteristics often provide performance attributes unattainable with other converter types. By using efficient frequency counting techniques familiar speed/accuracy tradeoffs can be averted.
