Hi CJ, It's not real easy. The first question I would ask is where you came up with the value of 0x00B0 for the pll divide reg. From what I can see that value will put the PLL at a frequency that is way beyond it's recommended operating parameters (See DSP56F80X User's Manual, Chapter 15 On Chip Clock Synthesis, Section 15.6.12). To run the normal 80MHz frequency a value of 0x0013 (19) would be used in the PLL divide reg. This gives a 40MHz IP_BUS frequency which drives the quad timer inputs. It is calculated by (8MHz * (19+1) / 2 / 2)= IP_BUS freq. or (crystal * (PLLDB+1) / Div2 / Div2)= IP_BUS freq. Figure 15-14 shows a good layout of how that is derived. When you know your input frequency (IP_BUS) you can set the values in the qt_sState structure to get your desired freq. -With qtPrescalerDiv1 you still have IP_BUS (40MHz if using 19) clocking the timer. -Using 'toggle on compare' (qtRepeatedly, qtUntilCompare, qtToggleOnCompare, qtUp) your output frequency will be 1/2 the toggle frequency which is the input freq divided by the compare value OR (IP_BUS / CompareValue1 / 2) = Output Freq. (40MHz / 2000 / 2) = 10khz Hope this Helps. Pete --- In , "TA1T" <cj_tait@h...> wrote: > > Can someone help me understand how to calculate what frequency is > output from the quad timer.
