Synchronized Conversions for Parallel Sampling
The independent ADC kernels implemented in the TC1784 can be synchronized for
simultaneous (parallel) measurements of analog input channels. While no parallel
conversion is requested, the kernels can work independently.
The synchronization mechanism for parallel conversions ensures that the sample
phases of the related channel start simultaneously. Different values for the resolution
and the sample phase length of each kernel for a parallel conversion are supported.
A parallel conversion can be requested individually for each input channel (also several
channels can be enabled for parallel conversions). In the example shown in the figure
below, input channels CH3 of the ADC kernels ADC0 and ADC1 are converted
synchronously, whereas other input channels do not lead to parallel conversions.
This leads to the following structure:
•
A
synchronization master
ADC kernel can request a conversion of an analog
channel. If this channel is selected for a synchronized conversion, it is also requested
in the connected slave ADC kernel(s).
•
A
synchronization slave
ADC kernel reacts to incoming synchronized conversion
requests from its master. While no incoming master requests are active, the slave
kernel can convert its own requests.
•
All ADC kernels in an ADC module being similar, each kernel can be set up to be a
synchronization master or a synchronization slave (depending on the application
needs, such as trigger capability of request sources).
•
A synchronization master can synchronize several slave kernels, whereas a slave
kernel can only be synchronized to one master kernel.
