Texas Instruments (TI) announced the world's first programmable differential amplifier (PDA). The 2.4GHz LMH6881 single-channel PDA 6dB to 26dB gain range with 2.4GHz LMH6882 dual channel PDA the optimized noise, distortion and bandwidth performance, engineers use to simplify the design of the differential amplifier. PDA design system increases flexibility for a wide variety of applications, significantly shorten design time, reduce the size of the solution, reducing the bill of materials (BOM) cost.PDA integrated fully differential amplifier (FDA) and digital variable gain amplifier (DVGA) advantage can help by changing the gain to modify the design engineers to quickly and easily without the need for adjustment of the external resistor, replace the amplifier or re-configure and optimize each gain stage. Compared with traditional DVGA, TI PDA to provide more consistent noise and distortion performance in the entire gain range. LMH6881 and LMH6882 programmable gain control can eliminate the gain setting resistor needs as well as its related mismatch error, which can improve the system robustness, fully meet the medical, measurement test, military, wireless communications, and microwave backhaul applications demand.
LMH6881 and LMH6882 Key Features and Benefits:
· Optimized performance: Both devices are available in the entire gain range to maintain excellent noise and distortion performance. The maximum gain (26 dB) and 100 MHz input frequency performance specifications: 9.7dB noise figure, 44dBm OIP3 and -100 dBc HD3;
· Easy to use: gain control through the SPI bus or a dedicated pin implementation, eliminating the need for external resistors;
· Maximum flexibility: support for DC / AC-coupled, single-ended to differential conversion without balun (balun), allows designers flexibility from DC to high frequency operation with minimal external components;
· Dual-channel gain / phase matching: LMH6882 0.2 dB channel gain matching with 1.5 degrees of phase matching, excellent image rejection for wideband zero-IF quadrature sampling applications;
· Drive high-performance ADC: to drive high-speed analog / digital conversion devices (ADC), such as 8-bit single-channel the ADC083000 ADC10D1500 of 10-bit dual-channel 12-bit dual-channel ADC12D1800RF and 14 single-channel ADS4149, etc.
Tools and Support
TI offers a wide variety of tools and technical support to accelerate engineers using the LMH6881 and LMH6882 PDA development. The following evaluation module (EVM) as well as the TINA-TI SPICE model and the reference design can be used for rapid assessment of these devices, to accelerate system development.

Texas Instruments (TI) announced the first OpenMP TM multicore DSP application programming interface (API) to provide commercial support to help developers in maximizing the full potential of multi-core digital signal processor (DSP). The OpenMP API is a portable, scalable model for KeyStone TMS320C66x multicore DSP developers to provide a support for the development of parallel applications simple and flexible interface, fully meet the mission-critical, industrial automation, embedded vision, medical imaging, video security monitoring, audio and video infrastructure, and high-performance computing market demand. Developers to take advantage of the optimized software products can not only get the advantage of faster development on TI C66x DSP, but can also give full play to its multi-core design potential.
OpenMP CEO Michael Wong pointed out that: "in the industry, TI pioneered the OpenMP API support multicore DSP simplifies multicore programming, real developers on TI's KeyStone the C66x multicore DSP OpenMP API supports application upgrades can help developers easily low-power and high-performance advantages, give full play to all developers of embedded processing is an important milestone. "
With the passage of time, the embedded system software for multi-core developers have become more and more complex. This complexity makes software development has become a critical means of multi-core embedded systems development. OpenMP API, developers TI C66x DSP design not only convenient programmers to improve the work efficiency, while reducing design and development costs, accelerate the process of embedded systems listed. TI is currently available for its TMS320C6670, TMS320C6671, TMS320C6672, TMS320C6674, and TMS320C6678 multicore DSP provides support for OpenMP API.
Barbara Chapman, a professor of computer science at the University of Houston, pointed out: "TI development tools add OpenMP support can help customers to more easily develop advanced software for TI's high-performance multi-core systems, improve work efficiency, reduce development costs, faster time to market tools extremely powerful multi-core processors with TI function combination will create applications previously not match.
