7.3.6.4.8 Queued or Burst Triggers in Indexing-Mode

There is only one VINDEX register and the value is overwritten each time a trigger is received. This means the user cannot queue up multiple trigger events with unique VINDEX values. However, the stored VINDEX value can be re-used by the DDS multiple times. For example, if DDS_BURST=3, a single trigger event plays a specific waveform 4 times. Operation for this example is detailed below:

  1. Assume the DDS is waiting for a trigger and DDS_SYM[0]=0 (non-symmetric mode).
  2. Assume DDS_VEC[80].VTRIG_MODE=1.
  3. TRIG[0] rises with TRIG[4:1]=5. The DDS sets VINDEX=5*16=80. The DDS begins playback of vector 80 (one trigger is consumed and 3 trigger events are queued since DDS_BURST=3).
  4. The DDS plays vector 80 through 83.
  5. DDS_VEC[83].LAST_VEC=1, so the DDS jumps to DDS_VEC[VINDEX] (this is vector 80 since VINDEX has not been changed). Since DDS_VEC[80].VTRIG_MODE=1, one trigger event is removed from the queue.
  6. Vectors 80 through 83 are played a total of 4 times (with zero gaps in the playback). After the fourth playback, the trigger queue is empty, so the DDS stops (mutes) and waits for a trigger again.
