Hello,
I'm trying to generate short pulses with DSP's 32-bit timer. I'm using the
DSK6416 board (@1GHz) .
I need to have pulse widths as short as 10ns-50ns and be able to change
the duty-cycle. I try to read the CNT register of the timer and set DATOUT
to be driven on TOUT pin of timer when the proper width has reached. The
problem is that when I use the TIMER_setDatOut API it is not possible to
get 10-50ns pulse widths. The shortest pulse width you can get is 100ns.
As the datasheet for the TMS320C6416T says, the timer is able to output
5ns pulse duration at high state.
Here is my simple code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <csl.h>
#include <csl_timer.h>
TIMER_Handle hTimer;
TIMER_Config MyConfig = {
0x00000300, //Clock mode, Internal clock source
f_cpu/8, DATOUT is
driven on TOUT DSK runs at 1GHz
0x0000003E, //f=125MHz/(this value) 1MHz
frequency as an example
0x00000000
};
void main()
{
CSL_init();
TIMER_config(hTimer,&MyConfig);
hTimer = TIMER_open(TIMER_DEV0,0);
TIMER_start(hTimer);
while(1)
{
if(TIMER_getCount(hTimer)<10){
TIMER_setDatOut(hTimer,1);}
else
{
TIMER_setDatOut(hTimer,0);}
}
}
Thank you.

I don't think you're going to get a good performance doing this in code. The "5 ns" pulse duration be achieved using the timer hardware.
