MCA Block Diagram Signal Comparator Value (t-1) Value (t) Threshold USB PIC Reset Peak Voltage Read ADC Peak and Hold
MCA Block Diagram Signal Comparator Value (t-1) • Pulse width: .1-100 μs • Pulse speed: 100 kcps • Pulse height: 0-10 V Value (t) Threshold USB PIC Reset Peak Voltage Read • PIC: 40 kcps • External: 400 kcps to 20 Mcps ADC Peak and Hold
Testing the PIC ADC • ~40 μs; equivalent to 1/.000040 or 25 kcps • Looking into other ADCs from 400 kcps to 20 Mcps
USB • Case 2 • -High speed • -Bulk transfer • -Can USB keep us with 1 Mcps? • 125 μs microframes • Thirteen 512-byte transactions per microframe • Yes, even at <.8% max rate • Case 1 • -Full speed • -Bulk transfer • -Can USB keep us with 1 Mcps? • 1 ms frames • Nineteen 64-byte transactions per frame • Probably not…requires ~33% max rate • Assumes transfer after 2500 pulses on average • Also, how much time does USB take?
