Hi,
We are trying to use the broadcast write mode to synchronize the trigger of two identical sensors with TI 953 serializers connected to the TI DS90UB960 deserializer. The sensors don't have a functional hardware frame sync trigger for synchronization, but both are operating using the reference clock provided by the deserializer. We wanted to forward the stream of the two sensors in line-concatenation mode to our frame grabber, which doesn't support virtual channels.
However, even if we set up the broadcast write mode to send the i2c start stream command to the identical slave ID/alias of the sensors, the two still have an offset between their frame starts by ~800 us. The stream command sends a total of 8 bytes to the sensor. Is this offset expected in a broadcast write mode? Is the i2c write still being multiplexed to identical ID/alias addresses? Is there a way to send the i2c write at the same time?
Thanks.
