MSP430F6736 (actually, any MSP430F5/6 with DMA)
TI ADS7882 12 bit ADC with parallel interface
Our application requires very fast data transfer from the external ADS7882. There are 12 data lines (12 bit ADC) and 7 other lines for control/status. The ADS7882 will indicate when data is ready via a hardware line. Ideally, I'd like this hardware line to cause the MSP430 to read the data across 16 GPIO lines in a single DMA transfer.
It appears that the MSP430 DMA is only for internal peripherals, but if this is possible I'd like some guidance as to how we might go about it.
Note that we need 1.5 to 3 MB/Sec for our ADC. Can't use internal ADC for the MSP430 as it's not fast enough.
