The ADCs on this device are
successive approximation (SAR) style ADCs with selectable resolution of
either 16 bits or 12 bits.
There are multiple ADC modules which allow simultaneous sampling. The ADC wrapper is
start-of-conversion (SOC) based [see the SOC Principle of Operation section of the
TMS320F2837xD Dual-Core Real-Time
Microcontrollers Technical Reference Manual
.
Each ADC has the following features:
- Selectable resolution of 16
bits or 12 bits
- Ratiometric external
reference set by VREFHI and VREFLO
- Differential signal
conversions (16-bit mode only)
- Single-ended signal
conversions (12-bit
mode only)
- Input multiplexer with up to
16 channels (single-ended) or 8 channels (differential)
- 16 configurable SOCs
- 16 individually addressable
result registers
- Multiple trigger sources
- Software immediate
start
- All ePWMs
- GPIO XINT2
- CPU timers
- ADCINT1 or 2
- Four flexible PIE
interrupts
- Burst mode
- Four post-processing blocks,
each with:
- Saturating offset
calibration
- Error from setpoint
calculation
- High, low, and
zero-crossing compare, with interrupt and ePWM trip capability
- Trigger-to-sample
delay capture
