The personal electronics market includes a large and diverse set of products, from ultra-high definition (UHD) TVs, smart speakers, and virtual-reality (VR) headsets to fitness bands, video game controllers, and more. Similarly, designing products for the personal electronics market demands a large and diverse set of skills. In this fast-moving environment, continuous education is a must, and so is access to an ever-expanding set of application notes, reference designs, and technical resources to help you keep up to speed.
As a leader in technical education for working engineers, Texas Instruments has hundreds of design resources on personal electronics applications. The Personal Electronics Overview page has sections on gaming, home theater, portables, connected peripherals, computing, and other topics. Each section has its own overview page to help you dig deeper.
