Coding

Limits

• The two waveform outputs run at the same frequency, 12 bit, 0 - 3.3 V
• The three A/D converters are 12 bits, 0 - 3.3 V

Maximum guaranteed clock frequency is 14 MHz, giving 1 MHz sample rate

Maximum possible with a 8 MHz crystal is 12 MHz

Two ADCs can be run in interleave for (12 / 14) * 2 = 1.74 MHz (highest guaranteed sample rate)

Maximum ADC clock rate at 72 MHz system clock is 36 MHz giving (12 / 14) * 2 = 5.14 MHz

Maximum system clock is 128 MHz giving a theoretical maximum of 9.14 MHz by overclocking everything

• System memory is 64 KB
