Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AMC1203
Dear TI Support,
I am having a problem with getting the modulator failure interrupts to work on the AMC1210 device, and was hoping to get some help.
I have an AMC1210 device connected to four AMC1203 devices. Each AMC1203 device has the MDAT line and MCLK line connected to their corresponding INx and CLKx pin on the AMC1210 chip.
I have been testing the modulator failure interrupt by disconnecting the MCLK pin from the CLKx pin of the AMC1210. When I do this, the INT interrupt from the AMC1210 does not trigger, and the contents of the interrupt register says that a modulator failure has not occurred for any of the inputs.
From my understanding, when the CLKx signal is less than 1/64th of the AMC1210 system CLK, then the modulator failure interrupt should trigger for the given input. When disconnecting the MCLK pin from the CLKx pin, the CLKx pin will be set to constant 0V (as I have observed from measurements), which in turn should cause the AMC1210 to detect that the CLKx signal is less than 1/64th of the AMC1210 system CLK. Am I correct in thinking this?
I am also sure that the INT pin is being triggered correctly, as I have tested this using the high-level threshold and low-level threshold interrupts.
The device settings that I am using are given below:
Control Reg: 0x6000
Clock Divider Reg: 0x0800
For all inputs:
Control Parameter Register: 0x0000
Sinc Filter Register: 0x0DFF
Integrator Parameter Reg: 0x0400
Comparator Filter Reg: 0x0200
Kind Regards,
