TM4C123GH6PM: ADC delay

Part Number: TM4C123GH6PM

Hi,

I have the following code. What about when I miss the

SysCtlDelay(SysCtlClockGet() / 12);

line at the end. It will miss some sample regarding the maximum speed?

#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include "inc/hw_memmap.h"
#include "driverlib/adc.h"
#include "driverlib/gpio.h"
#include "driverlib/pin_map.h"
#include "driverlib/sysctl.h"

main(void)

    uint32_t ui32SysClock;
#endif

    //
    // This array is used for storing the data read from the ADC FIFO. It
    // must be as large as the FIFO for the sequencer in use.  This example

    // was used with a deeper FIFO, then the array size must be changed.
    //
    uint32_t pui32ADC0Value[1];

    //

  • Hi,
    Since the ADC measurement is continuously taken inside the while(1) loop, I think it is trying to slow down the measurement on the ADC input so the measured value can be viewed on the terminal window more clearly.
