GUIDE: Translation Guide
"In today’s complex and high-performance system environment, higher levels of functional integration have led to ower power consumption CMOS process technologies operating at lower supply voltage levels. The ability to mix, match and support the imultaneous use of different operating supply voltage levels on the same circuit board has led to the need for voltage-level translation. |

GUIDE: Performance without Compromise: Implementing Real-time Control and Communications with a dual-subsystem microcontroller
With the growing importance of energy efficiency and smart grid technology, there is an increasing need for reliable silicon that supports real-time control with an interface capable of connecting to a wider network. Many robotic and automation applications, for example, have drive systems managing multiple motors that need to coordinate with a larger subsystem to enable intelligent monitoring and remote control. Similarly, a wide range of green applications such as solar inverters are using communication links to increase the individual operating efficiency of an array of devices. Communications are also required to increase the safety and reliability of many other embedded and industrial systems. |

VIDEO: TIs new $5 Sitara AM335x ARM(R) Cortex(TM)-A8 microprocessor
TI has recently introduced the AM335x Sitara ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessor. Starting at $5 and consuming as low as 7 mW of power, the AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessors provide low power consumption, prolonging battery life and reducing heat emissions, to enable portable, pocket-sized, fan-less applications. Offering developers high performance with advanced 3D graphics capabilities, touch screen controller and sophisticated peripherals all on a single chip reduces printed circuit board (PCB) space, complexity and bill of materials (BOM) costs by as much as $40 for smaller sized applications such as portable navigation, handheld gaming and educational devices, home and building automation and more. In this training you will learn about the features and benefits of the AM335x product family, as well as the software and tools that are available to being development. |
