MP3 NG: A Next Generation Consumer Platform
R
Like the IRDA controller, an interrupt is generated every time the FIFOs transfer their last word
into the shift registers. Assuming a 48 kHz audio sampling rate, this will result in an interrupt
every 83.3
µ
s. To put this in perspective, this means that the CPU will get an interrupt every
5,333 instructions.
Touch Screen Interface
The touch screen interface is an I/O port that lets the processor read the data returned by a
two-channel analog-to-digital converter. This lets the system software read the X and Y
coordinate resistance values that result from the user touching the screen. The system
software handles linearization and filters out transient touch events. (See
Figure 23
and
Table 7
.)
