#74082 - RE: Analog Devices or TI Responding to: ???'s previous message |
*The compiler is not nerly as efficent as Keil.
*It pushs everything on the stack for an interupt. *it wastes RAM and ROM. *It draws around 40 ma @ 5 volts in my application. That was glossed over in the data sheet. *The code for the different familys is different. *The emulator does not handle statics or local globals. *The analog ground is set to 2X vref. Voltage readings from true gnd are a pain. *The PGA drifts with temperature. *The internal buses have limitations. Wiring it is like trying to scedual college classes. (got a conflict move this here and then that goes there....) *The A/D ends up with a large offset. *The A/D is part software and part hardware. It eats up 25% on the cpu clocks. It has many pluses, But it was too much work for a low volume project. |
