AWR2243: AWR2243 Saturation diagnostics

Part Number: AWR2243

Tool/software:

I have a question about the saturation event count in the CQ2 data for the AWR2243 saturation diagnostics. The TI mmWave interface document says following.


"The analog to digital interface includes a 100 MHz bit stream indicating saturation events in the ADC/IF sections, for each channel. This one-bit indicator for each channel is monitored during the ADC sampling time duration in a time-sliced manner, as shown in Figure 10.5. For each time slice, a saturation event count is recorded. This count is the sum of saturation event counts across all RX channels selected for monitoring, capped to a maximum count of 255 (8 bits). "


The question is if there is only one saturation event  per channel per time slice or there could be multiple saturation events per channel per time slice.

Thanks,

Zhaohong
