TMS2516-35JL datasheet by Texas Instruments

TMS2516-35JL Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the TMS2516-35JL?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the TMS2516-35JL is 4.5V to 5.5V, with a typical operating voltage of 5V.
• How do I handle the power-on reset (POR) and brown-out reset (BOR) in my design?
  The TMS2516-35JL has an internal POR and BOR circuitry. To handle these, ensure a stable power supply, add a capacitor to the VCC pin, and consider using an external reset circuit if necessary.
• What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the TMS2516-35JL?
  The TMS2516-35JL can operate up to 35 MHz, but the maximum clock frequency depends on the specific application and system design. Consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance.
• How do I configure the TMS2516-35JL for low-power operation?
  To configure the TMS2516-35JL for low-power operation, use the IDLE mode, reduce the clock frequency, and minimize I/O activity. Consult the datasheet and application notes for specific guidance.
• What is the purpose of the watchdog timer (WDT) in the TMS2516-35JL?
  The WDT is a safety feature that resets the device if it detects a software fault or hang. It can be enabled or disabled depending on the application requirements.
