Tool/software:
Hey everyone,
I'm cross posting from this thread.
RE: ADS8568: recommended MCUs?
Essentially, I want to use three of these ADC's in a daisy chain to sample 24 channels in total.
On page 36 of the datasheet they show the following diagram as an example with a serial interface, albeit there is a peripheral interface as well.
Now this is a QSPI like interface with an additional CONVST that needs to be toggled to start a conversion and upon busy going low the data can be read.
Now usually with the microcontrollers from other vendors I would be limited to using a single data line with SPI as the QSPI interface is for interfacing with external memory and cant really be utilized for this.
The SCLK of the ADS8568 is also limited to 45 MHZ.
Now this ADC can essentially run a lot faster than I can currently run it if I run 4 data lines in parallel.
The only real way I can see using this at full speed is with an fpga/cpld however I also want to interface with an sdcard to store the data and a lte modem to send the data to a server.
After asking on the forum I linked it looked like the C2000 series might be an option especially with the integrated CLB (configurable logic block).
So I'm new to TI MCUs but are there any MCUs from TI that would be suitable to this application?
Please let me know if you need any more information, thanks in advance
