High-Performance 8051, Highest Functional Density. Highest Performance Integrated Analog. World's Fastest 8-bit MCU. Smallest Mixed-Signal MCU Footprint. World's Lowest-Voltage/Low-Power MCUs.

The CP2102 is a single-chip USB to UART bridge that converts data traffic between USB and UART formats. The chip includes a complete USB 2.0 full-speed function controller, bridge control logic and a UART interface with transmit/receive buffers and modem handshake signals.

The C8051F53xA and C8051F52xA families of MCUs are the most functionally dense automotive qualified (AEC-Q100) MCUs on the market and offer a superior level of integration, performance and features over competing solutions. All devices are designed to operate across the full automotive temperature (–40 to 125 ºC) and voltage (1.8 to 5.25 V) range.

Silicon Laboratories' Any-Rate Precision Clocks provide clock multiplication, jitter attenuation and clock distribution in high-performance timing applications requiring sub 1 ps jitter performance.

The TS5A22362 and TS5A22364 are single-pole double-throw (SPDT) analog switches designed to operate from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. The devices feature negative signal capability that allows signals below ground to pass through the switch without distortion. Additionally, the TS5A22364 includes an internal shunt switch, which automatically discharges any capacitance at the NC or NO terminals when they are unconnected to COM. This reduces the audible click/pop noise when switching between two sources. The break-before-make feature prevents signal distortion during the transferring of a signal from one path to another. Low ON-state resistance, excellent channel-to-channel ON-state resistance matching, and minimal total harmonic distortion (THD) performance are ideal for audio applications.

The TXS02612 is designed to interface the cellphone baseband with external SDIO peripherals. The device includes a 6-channel SPDT switch with voltage-level translation capability. This allows a single SDIO port to be interfaced with two SDIO peripherals. The TXS02612 has three separate supply rails that operate over the full range of 1.1 V to 3.6 V. This allows the baseband and SDIO peripherals to operate at different supply voltages if required.

The TPD8S009 provides an electrostatic discharge (ESD) solution for the display port and high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) high-speed lines. This device offers eight ESD clamp circuits with flow-through pin mapping that matches the display port or HDMI port connector pin assignments. This device supports HDMI 1.3 or display port data rate (in excess of 3 Gbps).

Historically, end-equipment manufacturers have used lighting as a way to differentiate their product over that of their competition and to satisfy market needs. A subset of lighting, known as fun lights, has emerged and is growing in popularity in battery-powered portable applications. Fun lights can be used to decorate the external appearance of a product and supplement its functionality. The end application may also require different colors and include a variety of blinking or dimming options. Typically, fun lights are implemented using external light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Circuit designers are faced with the challenge of developing systems with increasing functionality and complexity while under demanding power and time-to-market constraints. Such systems often require voltage level translation devices to allow interfacing between integrated circuit devices built from different process technologies. The choice of the proper voltage level translation device depends on many factors and will affect the performance and efficiency of the circuit application. Texas Instruments offers a variety of solutions to meet customer requirements.

Analog switches are extensively used for switching audio signals in battery-powered applications, such as mobile phones. In many cases, the switch is powered directly from the battery, but it receives control signals from a lower voltage processor GPIO. For most analog switches, this application condition leads to an excess supply current draw that catches system designers by surprise. This application report explains the cause of this excess current consumption and describes solutions to address it effectively.
