hi!i am also newbie in dsp(i have 8323 dev. board but their ADC is similar to yours...) the number of replies in this group not much for a long time...i'll try to answer as i can... in the peripheral user manual you can find enough information for questions 3,4 and 5... single ended means adc will convert the voltage on the ADC input pin(this is normal operation you know)... in diferantial mode adc will convert the difference betveen 2 input.. there is two adc mudule and in simulteneous mode both of them works in same time... in sequential mode you can use just 1 adc module acording to adc pin that you use.... firsly you use metrowerk code warrior... and processor expert -PE- embedden inside of it... you can use PE to initalize your ADC... and looking at to generated code by PE you can understant how to acces ADC registers... there is two way to acces peripherel register...you can use PE PESL functions(more effective) and you can use c functions like getREG16();..for example to acces result register use getReg16(ADCA_ADRSLT0); for the register names look at the inside of #include "IO_Map.h"... in 56f8323 ADC clock 5MHz..this information is in peripheral user manuel...so 8.5 adc clock cycle 1,7 us... isa --- sowmya_gk <> wrote: > > Respected Sir/Madam, > we are working on a project which has 56f805 DSP on > the EVM > kit. we're new to embedded field. > we have a few queries which need to be cleared to > start our project. > kindly help us by doing the need. > The queries are as follows: > 1.
