IC Design

White Paper: In telecommunications transport infrastructure, Optical Transport Network (OTN) and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) protocols are being combined to create Packet-Optical Transport Networks (P-OTNs). Telecom equipment manufacturers provide these new P-OTN systems and, naturally, are now looking to the... more

Application Note: Learn how to migrate an application based on the S29GL128P Flash memory to an M29W128GH/L Flash memory. The purpose of this document is not to provide detailed information on the devices, but to highlight the similarities and differences between them. The comparison takes into consideration the... more

Data Sheet: The APDS-9800 integrates ambient light sensor (ALS), proximity sensor (PS) and ambient light cancelation functions in a single module. The module contains three chips in one small package: an ambient light sensor IC, a proximity sensor signal conditioning circuit and a proximity sensor that... more

Case Study: A shrinking global environment is making your engineering work more connected, more collaborative, and more challenging. Some of the challenges you’re facing due to the current corporate climate include: 1) Issues with design management and version confusion caused by geographical dispersion and... more

Webcast: Handheld devices have feelings too. Whether the device is a smart phone, music player or a digital camera, some basic components are common to all, each with various levels of function and complexity. But what about the feelings of a handheld device? These devices need to be seen, touched, fed... more

White Paper: What if your design had to go close to the sun? Would you be comfortable? Engineers design for system-level reliability when creating complex electronic systems. System reliability is dependent on a number of factors, including the reliability of the individual semiconductor devices selected for... more

Development Board/Evaluation Kit: Reference design converts 90 VAC to 135 VAC input and drives 7 or 8 series-connected LEDs from 300 to 600 mA average current. The LM3445 switching frequency is set at 225 kHz. This 4-layer board uses the bottom and top layers for component placement. It can be modified to adjust LED forward... more

White Paper: Portable electronic design is becoming more challenging as new product revisions require additional features and improved performance while demand for longer battery life increases. These demands in the portable market include low active and static power consumption, small footprint packages... more

Reference Guide: TI has supported the highly efficient I2C bus interface for many years. This overview provides an updated look at I2C applications and how TI’s I/O expanders, multiplexers, buffers and repeaters can help system designers achieve effective subsystem communications using proven I2C devices... more
