Advanced TDMA technology to boost cable bandwidth
Texas Instruments has unveiled its new technology featuring end-to-end advanced TDMA that will enable a 50% increase in upstream plant capacity.
The panelists will discuss the integral role of the analogue signal chain and considerations for selecting the right components for optimal system performance.
Many DSPs have a data convertor built into the device.
The panelists will talk about application requirements in which an onboard convertor may be suitable.
In addition, the TI engineers will offer advice on how to decide which designs make it necessary to go off-chip for the data convertor function and how to select the external device.
A selection criterion for the amplifier is developed from an understanding of the source and the data convertor demands.
Gaining an understanding of the integrated system will help design engineers create successful systems.
