TI V3Link: A Single Wire SerDes Transceiver System for Machine Vision
The new TI V3Link™ simplifies implementation of vision systems by enabling simultaneous bi-directional data transfer over a single wire.
Unleash the Power of Vehicle-to-Grid Technology
Power converter designs for advanced technologies like V2G continue to challenge many designers. The Texas Instruments TIDA-010054 reference design provides a dual-active bridge topology to help designers build new power products for bidirectional charging. Learn more about this power converter topology and its use in V2G systems in this guide.
Photoresistor Datasheet: Specifications for Light Dependent Resistors (LDR)
The simplest light-sensitive component you can possibly include in your design is a photoresistor. These simple devices switch between two resistive states once they receive input light from an external source.
TI Ultrasonic Sensor: MSP430 Series of Highly Integrated Microcontrollers
Position and motion sensing are often implemented with a simple ultrasonic sensor. These devices provide sensing at long ranges, but they need the right microcontroller with an integrated analog front-end. TI’s MSP430 platform includes ideal products that support ultrasonic sensing with an integrated analog front end and plenty of developer support.
TMAG5170: TI’s Most Accurate 3D Hall-Effect Sensor
Accurate position sensing used to take multiple sensors, but now, the TMAG5170 provides highly accurate 3D Hall effect measurements with a single component. Learn more about this new product from Texas Instruments in our guide.
TMP461-SP: An Advanced Digital Temperature Sensor for Space Applications
Look to the TMP461-SP when you need advanced thermal protection of your processors and FPGAs in the harsh environment of space.
The Next Generation of Brushless DC Motor Drivers: TI’s MCF8316A & MCT8316A
The brushless DC motor driver you choose can make a profound difference in the complexity and time needed for your BLDC project.
Discrete vs. Passive Components: Key Elements to Know
Your choice of discrete vs passive components can significantly affect how you must layout your PCBA to ensure functionality and manufacturability.
MCP73831 Datasheet: A Linear Charge Management Controller
Adding a Li-ion battery to a design? Then you’ll probably want to charge it, but you can’t charge a Li-ion battery if you just connect it to the wall outlet. Use a component like the MCP73831 to regulate charging and protect batteries from reduced lifetime.
