RE: how to calculate the maximum rate for serial po rts of dsp56002/56303

I think it depends a lot on how fast your interrupt service routine winds up
being. If you have total control over bit times and inter-character-gaps on
the sending device, you could make it as fast or as slow as your DSP chip
can handle.

I doubt if the "line speed" of the SPI peripherals will be the limit. The
56803 went to something like 1-5 MHz, if you could keep up. The gap between
characters has to be long enough for you to capture the data.

Your ISR has to be faster than one character-time. I don't know your chip,
or your ISR-dispatcher, but interrupt response time might be in the .5 to 3
microsecond range, and your ISR might be in the .5 to 33 microsecond range. That might mean anywhere between 1-33 usec per character (30-1000 Kwords per
second?)
However, you won't know until you can time your ISR. I tried to do too much
in a SPIbus ISR once, and regretted it.

Subject: [motoroladsp] how to calculate the maximum rate for serial
ports of dsp56002/56303 hi-need a small help regarding the calculation of maximum rate that
a dsp 56002/56303 can read through the ssiport of dsp56002.and essi
of dsp56303.
as i want to interface the A/D chip to these devices.
