TI has produced an 800V DC power architecture for AI data centers built with the NVIDIA 800 VDC reference design. “By collaborating with NVIDIA, we’re helping accelerate the deployment of AI infrastructure that can scale efficiently and reliably,” says TI vp Kannan Soundarapandian. TI’s architecture requires only two conversion stages from 800V to GPU core power: compact 800V to 6V ...
At Embedded World, TI introduced two MCU families with edge AI capabilities. The MSPM0G5187 and AM13Ex MCUs integrate TI’s TinyEngine NPU accelerator for MCUs that optimises inference operations. Production quantities of the MSPM0G5187 MCU are available for purchase on TI.com, with the AM13E23019 MCU available in preproduction quantities. Additional package and memory variants will be released by the end of ...
TI is combining its motor control, sensing and power technologies with Nvidia’s robotics compute, Ethernet-based sensing and simulation technologies to validate perception, actuation and safety of humanoid robots earlier and more accurately. TI connects Nvidia physical AI compute to real-world applications with deterministic control, sensing, power and safety at every joint and subsystem. This partnership will help developers move faster ...

TI has bought Silicon Labs for $7.5bn. “The acquisition of Silicon Labs is a significant milestone that strengthens our long-term embedded processing strategy,” says TI CEO Haviv Ilan. “Silicon Labs’ leading embedded wireless connectivity portfolio enhances our technology and IP, enabling greater scale.” The combined company could be a leading provider of embedded wireless connectivity, adding approximately 1,200 products that ...
TI has remained remarkably quiet about its latest precision voltage reference IC: REF81. It is a modified form of the equally quietly released REF80, which is a temperature-controlled buried Zener reference with 0.05ppm/°C drift and better than 1ppm stability. Its output is around 7.6V, and it is specified over 0 to +70°C. After 1,000 hours (and up to 5,000h), stability ...
Aiming at lithography, Texas Instruments has created a digital micromirror device (DLP) with 8.9 million pixels that update at 110Gpixel/s. “Mask-less digital lithography machines – which project light materials without a photomask or stencil – are becoming increasingly popular for the manufacturing advanced packaging [that] combines multiple chips and technologies into a single package,” according to the company. DLP991UUV, as ...
Texas Instruments has optimised a pair of DSPs for field-oriented motor control in domestic appliances such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers. “Their capabilities, including high-speed sensor-less field-oriented control, high-torque zero-speed start-up and vibration compensation, deliver responsive motor control for everyday applications,” claimed the company. The parts are F28E120SC and F28E120SB, differing only in flash memory size: either ...
At 1mT, Texas Instruments is claiming record sensitivity for an in-plane Hall-effect switch, which includes an internal magnetic concentrator. That said, it is only just ahead of the similar 1.5mT in-plane Hall switch introduced by Melexis last week, which also has an internal magnetic concentrator. The TI unit, TMAG5134A1CDBVR, is part of the seven member TMAG5134 family aimed at simple ...
