TMS570LS1227: Is ADC Calibration required prior to running each Self Test?

Part Number: TMS570LS1227

Hi,

In SL_SelfTest_ADC() of the SAFETI Diagnostic library, to check the pin status ("testType" variable set to ADC_SELFTEST_ALL), prior to reading Vd, Vu and Vn (as specified in the reference manual SPNU515C), the following steps are carried out:

1. Self Test Reference Voltages ADREFHI and ADREFLO are read

2. SL_adcCalibration() is called to calibrate the ADC

Are the above steps required prior to each self-test? Or can they be carried out once on startup with the reference voltage values (ADREFHI and ADREFLO) read and stored for subsequent self-tests?

We plan to carry out periodic self-tests of the ADC channels. Would this cause an issue? If no, is there a minimum recommended interval for periodic execution of these self-tests?

Would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Thanks and Regards,

Vimal
