Single-Chip Cell Phone Solution, Battery Management Technology and MathWorks'
Embedded Target for TI's C2000(TM) Controllers Earn Accolades at ESC
DALLAS, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- EE Times recognized Texas Instruments
Incorporated (NYSE: TXN) (TI) with three Annual Creativity in Engineering
(ACE) Awards, including an Editor's Choice Award, at a ceremony on March 9 at
the Embedded Systems Conference in San Francisco.
Designed to celebrate demonstrated leadership in the electronics industry,
EE Times honored TI in three categories. The 2005 Editor's Choice Award went
to TI's single-chip cell phone solution. Within the Ultimate Products of the
Year, TI's bq20z8x battery management chipset won in the Power category, while
The MathWorks Embedded Target for TI's TMS320C2000(TM) controller won in the
Processors and Memory Category.
"We are honored with this recognition from EE Times and its readers," said
Doug Rasor, vice president and manager, worldwide strategic marketing.
"Creativity is a key reason EE Times selected TI for these awards. The
products awarded demonstrate TI's commitment to develop technology that helps
our customers innovate and create winning designs."
About the Single-Chip Cell Phone Solution
In December 2004, TI sampled the industry's first single-chip solution for
mobile phones. The chip integrates the bulk of handset electronics, including
digital baseband, SRAM, logic, RF, power management and analog functions.
Based on TI's innovative DRP technology, the solution reinforces the company's
clear edge in integration, furthering TI's and its customers' competitive
positions. See: http://www.ti.com/drp .
About the bq20z8x Battery 'Fuel Gauge' and Impedance Track
The Flash-based, bq20z8x battery management chipset calculates remaining
capacity in multi-cell, Lithium-Ion battery packs with up to 99 percent
accuracy throughout the entire life of a battery. TI's innovative Impedance
Track(TM) power management technology, which sits inside the bq20z8x,
precisely "gauges" changes in impedance, or resistance caused by battery age,
temperature and cycle patterns. The chipset, currently being designed into
portable medical, industrial appliances and notebook computers, will allow
end-users to always know the exact amount of potential energy left inside the
battery. See: http://www.ti.com/sc04176 .
About The MathWorks & C2000 Controllers
Jointly honoring TI and The MathWorks collaboration, Embedded Target for
TI C2000 controllers lets engineers perform automatic code generation,
prototyping, and embedded system deployment in a graphical user environment
for industrial control, automotive and white goods applications. C2000
controllers offer designers TI's leading DSP technology combined with
microcontroller integrated peripherals. Comprised of Simulink(R) and
MATLAB(R) modules, Embedded Target works seamlessly with TI's integrated
development environment (IDE) through MATLAB Link for Code Composer Studio(TM)
(CCStudio), and allows execution of CCStudio commands for analysis, debugging
and automated code verification from MATLAB. While Simulink provides
developers with automatic code generation and peripheral programming support,
MATLAB offers a direct connection between the design environment and
implementation platform through core mathematics and advanced graphical tools
for system-level data analysis, visualization and algorithm and application
development. See http://www.ti.com/embeddedtargetc2000 .
