SCANSTA112: TRSTb, TLR_TRST, TLR_TRST6

Part Number:SCANSTA112

Hi,

I am designing a board where I need to multiplex 32 JTAG devices(FPGAs). As per the plan the devices are divided it into 8 chains with 4 devices each. 7 chains are connected to each of the LSPs of the STA112 and for the remaining 1 chain, a separate JTAG programming connector will be used. STA112 will be in transparent stitcher mode. 

I have the following questions related to the design:

1) What is the difference in the affect of TRSTb on STA112 and affect of RESET on STA112?

2) In transparent stitcher mode, does TRSTb reset the STA112 logic? Is there some way to mask it in this mode?

3) Can we use the TLR_TRST and TLR_TRST6 in transparent stitcher mode to drive the TRST of the unselected LSPs?

4) Is there a limit on the number of devices that can be connected to each LSP port? Can we connect 8 devices? If we could eliminate that one extra JTAG connector it would be great.

Part Number:EK-TM4C123GXL


Hi everyone.

I working with a Tiva C 123 (TM4C123GH6PMI MCU). My application goal is read the analog value of a pressure sensor (0.5V-4.9V, output voltage). Thinking about in some measurement errors, e.g. If the source is low-impedance and the ADC is high-impedance, one could lower the value of the voltage divider, e.g. 1.7k:3.3k. This might introduce some measurement errors, e.g. if the the ADC input has a large capacity on the input and hence the inrush current during the sampling period might lead to a voltage drop. In this case I want to know if the input impedance of the TM4C123GH6PMI MCU ADC channels is high and his value, but I did not found it in the datasheet. n which section of the datasheet this information appear?


Thanks.

Best regards.

TLC393: Current Consumption

Part Number:TLC393

Hello,

I'm using the TLC393 as a 12V voltage comparator, but also need to keep the current consumption really low.

The problem is that some IC's show a low consumption, about 250 uA, and others (10% of them) a really high consumption, about 700+ uA.

Is this range normal to this IC?

Couldn't find this info in the datasheet.

TPS62740: Maximum source impedance on the EN pin

$

Part Number:TPS62740

Hello,

Could you please advise what is the maximum source impedance permissible on the Enable pin for the TPS62740?  I would like to use a 10 M pull up resistor so I can minimize the leakage current when I put the device in ship mode.  A 10 M resistance with a 3.6V battery would have a 360nA leakage.

From the datasheet, page 5 shows the input bias current is 25nA.  So, with a 10 M pull up that would cause 0.25V drop which would satisfy the VIH for a battery voltage of at least 1.35V.

Is there anything else I need to consider with regard to the impedance of this pull up?

Thank you,

Steve

BQ24610: Simulated load for functional testing of the charging circuit

$

Part Number:BQ24610

I need to perform a functional test on the attached battery charging circuit. The battery to be charged is 7.2V, 9.0Ah, 64.8Wh, Li-ion rechargeable. Originally, my customer indicated a 5.1 ohm, 15W resistor would be an acceptable simulation of the battery, however he apparently neglected to account for the battery detection scheme employed by the BQ24610. After I pointed this out, he directed me to simulated the battery load. Should I be able to simulate the battery, and thus test the charging circuit, using something like a NI PXI-4130 SMU, http://www.ni.com/en-us/support/model.pxi-4130.html? Any other recommendations?

Following is an outline of the test procedure employed:

1. Connect an electrical simulation of the Smart Battery at the Power Board battery connector J2.7 (V_BATT) with respect to GND.

2. Apply a 10K resistor across Power Board R27 (NETJ2_5 to GND).

REFERENCE: This will trick the charger into thinking it’s at a constant 25 deg C. and will allow the charger circuit to work.

3. Apply External Power (15.0VDC ±5%) current limited to 2.0ADC with respect to GND.

4. Measure the voltage at the Power Board battery connector J2.7 (V_BATT) with respect to GND. Record the result.

REFERENCE- Battery charger testing does not include charge-rate, or other design verification testing – only checking the charger responds to external power and switches voltage to the battery terminals when voltage is low.

5. Observe the digital state on net ACDRV. Record the result.

6. Measure the voltage on the signal generated by net BATDRV_N (J3.20) with respect to GND. Record the result.

7. Observe the digital state on CHARGING_N. Record the result.

8. Observe the digital state on CHG_COMP_N. Record the result.

9. Observe the digital state on PWR_GOOD_N. Record the result.

10. Observe the digital state on CHARGE_ENABLE. Record the result.

11. Observe the digital state on LOW_CHARGING_LEVEL. Record the result.

12. Disconnect the previous resistor from Power Board R27 (NETJ2_5 to GND) and apply resistor of 3.02k±5%, ≥1/16W Ohm across Power Board R27 (NETJ2_5 to GND).

REFERENCE: This will trick the charger into thinking it is above its high temperature threshold.

REFERENCE: Customer requirement is to only test at valid temperature and one invalid temperature. (“only validate the function once”)

13. Measure the voltage at the Power Board battery connector J2.7 (net V_BATT) with respect to GND. Record the result.

14. Disconnect the previous resistor from Power Board R27 (NETJ2_5 to GND).

Speaking of the difference between 1.60 and 2.20 SDK, can somebody help translate the initializer values below? The first are ones recommended for use with SDK 1.60. As you can see, the second have changed field names but also the last three are quite different. Any recommendations would be appreciated. We're using EasyLink_Phy_Custom for one application and EasyLink_Phy_625bpsLrm for another, with the former having potentially high collision rates with many sensor nodes banging on a small number of concentrators.

In my circuit this QFN-packaged IC is largely static, so I don't need the die-attached pad for thermal reasons.  Do I need to solder it to a thermal pad on the PCB anyway?  If so, should it be grounded or left floating?  Thanks.

Part Number:IWR1642BOOST

I have observed data points in the point cloud data where everything is zero.  range, angle, doplpler and snr are all zero.  Why does the sensor send points filled with zeroes.

Also, There is no information on what the doppler data means.  I've seen positive and negative values.  There is no direction associated with the values.  How does the target software convert doppler readings to velocity and acceleration. 

TMS320F28379D: Shadow load mode control does not work when using HRPWM

$

Part Number:TMS320F28379D

I'm working on a project which uses HRPWM (up-down count mode, fixed frequency and phase) to change duty cycle twice per PWM period by updating CMPA/CMPB at both TBCNT=0 and TBCNT=PRD. Today I noticed that my duty cycle is only changing when TBCTR=0. I've verified that CMPCTL[LOADAMODE] and CMPCTL[LOADBMODE] and their HR counterparts are set appropriately. Strangely, the output (as seen on a scope) doesn't change even if I set it to update on TBCNT=PRD only, as if my settings were being ignored. Stranger still is that if I stop the program with the debugger right before/after TBCNT=PRD, the SHDWAFUL/SHDWBFULL bits in CMPCTL do get cleared, as if they were being updated properly (but still the scope says otherwise).

The only way I can get the shadow loading to happen on TBCNT=PRD is by completely disabling the HR functionality (leaving all HRCNFG, HRCNFG2, HRPCTL, etc registers at default values), but I can't figure out why. The only clue is one sentence in the TRM (section 15.2.2):

Shadow Mode — This mode provides the same shadowing (double buffering) option as in regular PWM
mode. This option is valid only when operating from the CMPAHR, CMPBHR and TBPRDHR
registers and should be chosen to be the same as the regular load option for the CMPA, CMPB
register. If TBPHSHR is used, then this option has no effect.


I'm not implementing any high res phase modulation, but I do set HRPCTL[HRPE] and HRPCTL[TBPHSHRLOADE], as is necessary in up-down count mode (I'm synchronizing multiple interleaved phases). Is this somehow the source of the issue?

Regards,

Mike

BQSTUDIO: Battery Characterization

Part Number:BQSTUDIO

Hi, 

I have a Lithium Ion battery and I am planning to use BqStudio to find out the ChemID in order to either pick a ROM type gauge (if the deviation is less than 3%) or go with a Flash type. I have read the technical documents and the forum but I still have the following questions:

- It looks like the process would take around 20 hours to generate the data because of the timing requirements. I was wondering if we need to exactly follow the required time for relaxation? Can it be more than 2 hours (SLVA725A - step 3.1.3) and/or more than 5 (SLVA725A - step 3.1.5). The company is not normally open 24 hours...

- I saw in the forum that it can be possible to find the CHEMID for a battery without actually performing the testing. Do you have a database where I can check if this battery is there? 

Thanks.

We will be scrutinized on the saftey and quality of the different software within the SDK, not limited to TI-RTOS, PDK, NDK, MATH LIBS, etc.  Are there any documents that support the safety and quality of the code?  Examples could be: 

1) Origin of the code is from "X"

2) Code development and/or testing standards used

3) Proven on "X" number of platforms

4) Open source

Thanks!
