Introduction
This example sets up two ADC channels to convert simultaneously. The results will be transferred by DMA into a buffer in RAM.

errata i2355 for AM263x
- DMA trigger from the ADC INT (Late) occurs just before the Result space updation, as a result of which the stale data from the result space will be transferred by DMA.
- Workaround use an empty channel transfer before the Actual transfer.
The example does the below
- Configures ePWM0 to trigger SOC0 on ADC1 and ADC2. This is used to trigger the first ADC conversion.
- INT0 of ADC1 is configured to generate interrupt after first conversion and will then disable EPWM SOC generation.
- Configure ADC INT1 of both ADC's to enable continuous conversion. The interrupts will act as trigger for next conversions.
- Configure DMA channel 0 to be triggered at EOC0 of ADC1 and copy conversion result to an empty buffer, triggerring another channel channel 1 to transfer the ADC result to a result buffer in RAM.
- Configure DMA channel 2 to be triggered at EOC0 of ADC2 and copy conversion result to an empty buffer, triggerring another channel channel 3 to transfer the ADC result to another result buffer in RAM.
- Configure DMA to generate interrupt after the buffer is filled and stop conversion on both ADC's.
- The DMA destination buffers (watch variables) can be used to view the ADC conversion results.
Watch Variables
- gAdc0DataBuffer, gAdc1DataBuffer - Digital representation of the voltage on pin ADC0_AIN0 and ADC1_AIN0
External Connections
- ADC1_AIN0 and ADC2_AIN0 pin should be connected to the signals to be converted.
AM263X-CC E2
- Feed the External Volatage to the following
- ADC1_AIN0 : HSEC-PIN 12
- ADC2_AIN0 : HSEC-PIN 31
AM263X-CC E1
- Feed the External Volatage to the following
- ADC1_AIN0 : HSEC-PIN 18
- ADC2_AIN0 : HSEC-PIN 24
AM263X-LP
- Feed the External Volatage to the following
- ADC1_AIN0 : J1/3 24
- ADC2_AIN0 : J1/3 25
