#119842 - Somewhat related question
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Because the adc in the analog devices part is sigmadelta converter, it takes a few conversion cycles to aquire the new value when you change channels.


Russell, regarding this issue, we're considering an ADuC843 in a project. We'd like to sample 8 audio channels (40kHz rate on each channel) constantly. The part is rated for 420ksps. I talked to a contact I have at Analog Devices and asked him about the impact of using DMA to read each of the 8 channels and whether there would be an impact due to the fact that each of the 8 DMA samples would be on different channels. He said the 420ksps throughput took into account the settling time in changing the channel.

Does this contradict the information you have? I haven't looked at the '845 so I don't know how similar the part is. The '843 is a 12-bit 420ksps and we only need 40x8 = 320ksps.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Craig Steiner
