Texas Instruments has announced the release of the SimpliciTI network protocol, a proprietary low-power radio frequency protocol targeting simple, small RF networks (less than 100 nodes). SimpliciTI network protocol was designed for easy implementation with minimal microcontroller resource requirements. The protocol runs out-of-the-box on TI’s MSP430 ultra-low-power microcontrollers and CC110x/CC2500 RF transceivers. The next release of Simpli...

CoWare and Tenison Design Automation Inc., a company focused on delivering ESL tools that synthesize C++ and SystemC models from hardware designs described in Verilog or VHDL, jointly announced significant enhancements to the two companies' integrated design flow. These enhancements will accelerate the creation of virtual hardware platforms for architectural exploration and software development. The new flow enables the synthesis of the CoWare ...

CoWare has announced a new release of CoWare Processor Designer that provides increased support for next-generation Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processors. The new CoWare Processor Designer enables users to explore a large design space to ensure that the targeted processing power is achieved and the interconnect infrastructure is available to feed data into the processor at an acceptable rate. The latter can only be done in the platform co...

Kit merges Stellaris ARM Cortex-M3 MCU performance with TI’s seventh-generation CC2560 Bluetooth solution to enable streaming audio, data transfers and other advanced capabilities.

Arming developers with more software and tool options, Texas Instruments announced the availability of its newest Stellaris microcontroller (MCU) Robotic Evaluation Platform (EVALBOT). The new mini-robot platform within TI’s embedded processing portfolio provides developers the flexibility to choose from a variety of software tool chains so they can fully access the features of the Stellaris Cortex-M3 MCU in their preferred environment. The upd...

Texas Instruments Incorporated today unveiled the industry’s first implementation of the real-time HD JPEG 2000 codec on a multicore digital signal processor (DSP). Four TI TMS320C6678 multicore DSPs with JPEG 2000 codecs are available on TI’s design network member, Advantech’s, new DSPC-8681E half-length PCI express card, making it ideal for processing intensive, power efficient applications in industries such as broadcast and digital cine...

Texas Instruments Incorporated expands its DaVinci digital media processor platform by introducing its high-performance TMS320DM8168 DaVinci digital media processor and the software compatible, power-efficient TMS320DM8148 DaVinci digital media processor. With these industry-leading video processors, TI is helping provide life-like video communications to bring people together, increase public safety, enable real-time automotive vision systems to...

Texas Instruments introduced a 3.2-W, mono Class-D audio amp with an integrated digital-to-analog converter (DAC) noise filter that reduces codec noise by as much as 82 percent, compared to devices without this feature. The TPA2011D1’s integrated noise filter could eliminate the need for an external filter on the inputs, reducing component count and cost. The Class-D amplifier’s 1.2-mm x 1.2-mm package size makes it 25 percent smaller...

NI has announced NI X Series multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) devices for USB. USB X Series devices integrate high-performance analogue measurement and control channels, digital I/O and counter/timers onto a single plug-and-play device, which engineers and scientists can use for a wide variety of portable test, measurement and data-logging applications. USB X Series DAQ devices include up to 32 analogue inputs, four analogue outputs, 48 digit...

National Instruments has announced a new portable bus-powered dynamic signal acquisition (DSA) module and a suite of vibration sensors that are ideal for making high-accuracy vibration measurements required for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and machine condition monitoring applications. The NI USB-4431 DSA module acquires data at rates from 1 to 102.4 kS/s, which makes it possible to obtain a wide measurement bandwidth. The combination of ...
