Hi everybody,
I am trying to connect an ADS8320 16-bit A/D
converter to the 5410 McBSP1 through the SPI protocol.
I followed the SLAA118 Application Report,
dated January 2001, except for the clock speed (now at 2.4 MHz instead of 1.2
MHz).
My problem is that I cannot do more than 75,000
conversions a second, and I expected at least 85,000 samples per
second.
The timing is the following:
- The AD8320 CS\ is low during 10.2
usec,
- The interrupt (due to receive Ready) is
entered 500 nsec later. Here, I restart a conversion by writing 0 into the DXR1
register (from inside the interrupt routine).
- The interrupt is exit 500 nsec after it was
fired.
- The next CS\ signal goes low (only) 1.8 usec
later. And this seems to be the problem. Why this delay?
(I expected less than 500
nsec)
(It seems also that the delay is inversely
proportional to the clock speed, so, it seems related to the McBSP
itself).
Also, I don't have the timing diagram
shown in that application report: I don't have any clock signal when the
CS\ is high (but this seems normal to me, but why those extra clock pulse during
CS\ high in the application report?)
Has somebody in the group experienced speed
problems with the SPI on a McBSP channel?
Thanks for your help
