SMT356356 User Manual
D31-24 determines the number of samples in clock enable mode ‘0’. The range is
from 1-256. The value loaded into bits 31-24 is the required sample count –1. A value
of 0 gives 1 sample, a value of 0xFF gives 256 samples.
Note that the sample count should be changed before the acquisition is triggered.
Bits D15-8 control the enabled state of the 8 ADCs. The power-on state is a ‘1’ for
each bit, indicating that all channels are enabled. Setting a bit to a ‘0’ will remove that
ADC’s output from appearing in the SDB data stream.
Programmable Clock Divider
An 8-bit divider is provided which allows the ADC clock to be provided from a divided
clock. The following table shows the possible values,
