3.2 Peripheral Access

The ACI real-time benchmark has two peripheral access responses: ADC read and convert to float as well as PWM write. For the response times for each of these operations, see Figure 3-3.

In this particular implementation, only two ADC inputs are being read and three PWM outputs are being written. As can be seen in Table 3-2, in other practical applications involving motor control or digital power the number of these operations can be larger and can have a bigger impact on the execution duration of a control application.

In the C2000 architecture the CPU is closely integrated with the peripherals and the instruction set architecture is optimized for floating point operations. From the benchmark data in Table 3-3, it can be derived that it takes only ~2 cycles to read one ADC input and convert it to float and just ~3 cycles to write one PWM output. As such, C2000 architecture can effectively scale to applications with large number of peripheral accesses.

Table 3-2 captures the estimated cycles for some real control applications based on the benchmarking data.
