Source Code



Document SLAA582 (Measuring Bit Errors in the Output Word of an A/D Converter) stated that the source code can be requested from this forum. I have a customer requesting the source code, if possible can you provide me with the code to be forwarded to the customer.

  • Hi,

    The author of that TI design is looking for the source code.  in the meantime, I would like to ask a question about which source code might be of most use.   The original source code was developed on the TSW1405, which uses a Lattice FPGA, and this was the design on which that TI design is based.  And the author is looking for the archive.   But since that time of the TI Design, we have applied the same concept to the source code of the TSW1400 which uses an Altera FPGA.   Both versions used the same basic principle, which is that with a fixed buffer depth of say 65536 samples and the clock and input tone set to coherent frequencies, then the first sample in the buffer and the 65537'th sample which would overwrite the 1st sample would be the same code and thus could be differenced and compared to a threshold value, and increment an error counter if above the threshold.   Thus the incoming data could be just pushed into the buffer in real time, and each sample compared to the data that was just pushed out of the buffer.   Would the newer code built for the TSW1400 be better, or the original source code for the TSW1405 as was described in the TI Design?   Either way, we could supply the code, but from there the code would have to be accepted on an as-is basis, with no guarantee of support.

    Regards,
