Implementation of a Single-Phase Electronic Watt-Hour Meter Using MSP430AFE2xx
This application report describes the implementation of a single-phase electronic electricity meter using the Texas Instruments MSP430AFE2xx metering processors. It includes the necessary information with regard to metrology software and hardware procedures for this single chip implementation.
Wireless Remote Controller With Capacitive Touch Pad Using MSP430F51x2
This application report describes the implementation of a two-dimensional capacitive touch pad, using the high-resolution Timer D of the MSP4305132 MCU.
Passive RFID Application Using MSP430F2274
This application report describes a reference design implementing a battery-less RFID application that includes an E-Paper display, using the PaLFI eZ430-TMS37157 RFID board. The sample application code is implemented to run on MSP430F2274 MCU. In addition to handling the communications and E-Paper display driving, the MCU also controls a DC-DC boost converter to supply the higher voltage required by E-Paper.
White paper: Simplifying the transition to digital power for greater efficiency
With its extensive systems expertise, TI understands not only the tradeoffs between analog and digital implementations, but also the challenges this transition poses for analog engineers. To simplify the process of shifting to digital power, TI has created a comprehensive suite of tools to specifically address the most common concerns of analog engineers. |
