With higher performance, lower noise, a small package, and the loss of that pesky freewheeling diode, the SIMPLE SWITCHER synchronous DC/DC buck regulators are ready to tackle your toughest design challenges.

Did you know that many of the electronic products you or your family own probably have several ICs? And many of the ICs found in these electronics were made by Texas Instruments (TI). In fact, a TI engineer made the very first working IC – also called a chip or semiconductor – on September 12, 1958. His name was Jack Kilby. His little invention forever changed the face of technology and life as we know it.

Some of the latest innovations for kids are coming from the heart of Silicon Valley… from a company called Actev Motors. Actev is leveraging the technology from TI to transform the market for recreational and utility vehicles.

This video from Texas Instruments explains the Safe Operating Area (SOA), as it appears on the MOSFET datasheet.

Baltimore Ravens Offensive Lineman and published mathematician, John Urschel, is teaming up with Texas Instruments to explore the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) behind sports, in a new series of activities designed to inspire next-gen problem solvers and critical thinkers. STEM Behind Sports kicks off with Field Goal for the Win! a fun, free activity designed for the TI-84 Plus family of graphing calculators.

Texas Instruments has introduced the industry's first DDR memory linear regulator for space applications. The TPS7H3301-SP is the only DDR regulator immune to single-event effects up to 65 megaelectron volts per centimetre squared (MeV-cm2), powering space-satellite payloads including SBCs, solid-state recorders and other memory applications.

Part one of this article described the problem, showed the impact of a cold start test pulse on an automotive power supply and discussed a typical pre-booster specification. The second part provided guidance on proper part selection of all relevant components. This third and final part demonstrates the differences between operation modes and the influence of the inductance and capacitance on performance. By Matthias Ulmann, Texas Instru...

Expanding its leadership in voice remote controls, Texas Instruments has announced voice remote control solutions as part of its SimpleLink ultra-low power platform. These were created to help developers easily add ultra-low power BLE, ZigBee RF4CE or multi-standard connectivity to their designs for voice remote controls, TVs, set-top boxes and more.

An engineer designing a PCB, using voltage rails from elsewhere in the system has to convert the power available from those rails to the desired voltages with good efficiency, says Dr. Dan Tooth, Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments has introduced a reinforced isolated amplifier with the highest reliability, lowest power consumption, highest DC accuracy and improved overall efficiency compared to competitive devices. The AMC1301 delivers the most accurate solution for shunt-based current sensing in high-voltage applications, such as industrial motor drives, solar inverters, battery management systems and UPS.

Reducing EMI, improving power density and enabling operation in deep drop-out conditions, two 36V, 2.1MHz synchronous buck regulators that eliminate switch-node ringing have been announced by Texas Instruments. The 2.5A LM53625-Q1 and 3.5A LM53635-Q1 regulators are designed for high-voltage DC/DC step-down applications such as automotive infotainment, high-end cluster, ADAS and body power-supply systems.
