DEMOS: The following cutting-edge demonstrations will be at TI
booth 1914, highlighting the latest innovations from Texas
Instruments and TI's third party network.
High-Performance Digital Control
* High performance controllers, many applications -
Complete control system capabilities from soon-to-be
introduced devices on TI's TMS320C2000(TM) digital signal
controller platform provide unmatched levels of
performance and integration. See a demo showing how high
performance and optimized peripherals enable a single
C2000(TM) controller to control multiple three-phase
motors simultaneously. Additional end user applications
on display reveal TI's wide range of digital signal
controller solutions, including a multi-function
enthusiast's toy train; an industry-leading audio
subwoofer; a MP3 player with a high capacity, miniature
hard drive; a radar enabled industrial flow meter; and an
industrial machinery fatigue relieving touch button.
* SawStop Table Saw - Come for a video demonstration and
see an actual SawStop Table Top Saw display, which is
equipped with a revolutionary sensing and instant brake
feature enabled by TI's TMS320C2000 digital signal
controller to detect the difference between wood and a
user's finger. When a finger or hand is detected, the
SawStop system completely stops and retracts the blade in
less than five milliseconds. As a result, many
woodworking accidents will now require only Band-Aids
instead of emergency medical care.
Ultra-Low Power Control
* MSP430: The Outrageously Low-Power MCU - Demos of TI's
MSP430 devices will show how a small solar cell, or even
a grape, can power these highly integrated, 16-bit
microcontrollers (MCU), which are designed for high-
precision portable and battery-powered applications. A
variety of end-user equipments will also be on display,
including the Nike Triax Elite Heart Rate Monitor and
Speed/Distance Monitor, the Recom Model 100 ECG monitor
system, the Masimo Pulse Oximeter and the Fluke 87V
Industrial True-rms Multimeter with Temperature display.
ARM7-Based Control
* TMS470 Catalog MCU - See a demo highlighting recently
introduced TMS470 general purpose MCUs, which offer the
industry's widest range of memory at up to 1MB of
embedded flash along with intelligent, on-chip peripheral
options for designs requiring higher levels of
performance and flexibility. TI brings proven high
reliability to the market as the largest shipper of ARM
cores, having delivered over one billion ARM core-based
devices into a variety of applications that include
safety critical automotive, wireless handsets, IAG
imaging, video and digital signal processors (DSP) and
dual core processors for telecommunications.
Security
* Fingerprint Authentication Solution - This all-in-one
demo enables the capture, enrollment and verification of
human fingerprints in real time. TI's Fingerprint
Authentication Development Tool (FADT) is a flexible,
low-cost and easy-to-use daughter card and software tool
that combines with any one of several TI TMS320C5000(TM)
and TMS320C6000(TM) DSP Starter Kits (DSKs) to make a
complete fingerprint development environment.
* Video Security Solution - This demo showcases the power
of TI's TMS320DM642 DSP performing full D1 resolution at
30 frames per second on an MPEG-4 IP camera. This
digital solution enables new video surveillance
capabilities such as video indexing, biometrics, facial,
iris/retinal, alarm management, image storage, privacy
zone management, license plate number analyses and many
more.
Video/Imaging
* Video Conferencing - Previously, videophones have been
subject to jerky video quality and high unit cost. In
response to the exponential growth of the IP videophone
market, however, TI and Wintech recently introduced a
videophone development platform (VDP) that is designed to
help OEMs develop high-quality, cost-effective IP
videophones. Based on TI's DM643(TM) DSP, the VDP offers
real-time H.264 CIF quality videophones running on a
single chip and lets OEMs build high-quality videophones
at minimum cost with accelerated time to market.
Telecom
* Hands-Free Kit - Texas Instruments Hands-Free Kit (HFK)
Development Platform is a complete digital signal
processor (DSP)-based solution, with real-time voice and
audio-enhancing algorithms, and is now available with a
Bluetooth Daughter Card. By leveraging the combined HFK
Development Platform and Bluetooth Daughter Card,
developers will be able to create customized products
with superior audio quality and Bluetooth wireless
connectivity at a lower price point than is currently
available in the market.
Getting Started With DSP
* Why DSP? Why TI DSP?: Stop by and learn the benefits of
designing with a Digital Signal Processor versus other
solutions. We will provide an overview of DSP
architecture, performance, code generation tools and
more. Get an introduction to TI DSP platforms and which
applications they best support. Check out a live
demonstration of TI's Code Composer Studio(TM) IDE and
learn first hand how these powerful integrated
development tools ease development and get your product
to market quickly.
* DSP Support - TI offers a range of support tools to help
our customers get to market quickly and easily. Stop by
and learn more details about TI's 24/7 DSP KnowledgeBase,
free online training and webcast library, comprehensive
technical documentation, workshops, the annual TI
Developer Conference and more.
* Learn Tips and Tricks to Design for Low Power Using the
TMS320C5509A EVM - After talking with many customers,
Texas Instruments has found that designers are struggling
to get all the information they need when designing low-
power applications. In this interactive demo, you can
walk through a show and tell that will teach you how to
plan and optimize power consumption of your application
using new power measurement and power management tools
based on the TMS320C5509A EVM and eXpressDSP low power
design tools. The demo highlights new analysis tools
including the DSP/BIOS power manager and new power
measurement tools from National Instruments that will
help you plan and optimize your power through each stage
of the development flow.
