The IWRL1432 device includes
provision for an ADC service for user application, where the GPADC engine present
inside the device can be used to measure up to two external voltages. The GPADC1,
and GPADC2 pins are used for this purpose.
- GPADC itself is controlled by TI firmware running inside the FEC subsystem and access to it for customer’s external voltage monitoring purpose is via ‘APPSS’ calls routed to the FEC subsystem. This API could be linked with the user application running on MSS M4F.
- Device Firmware package (DFP) provides APIs to configure and measure these signals. The API allows configuring the settling time (number of ADC samples to skip) and number of consecutive samples to take. At the end of a frame, the minimum, maximum and average of the readings will be reported for each of the monitored voltages.
GPADC structures are used for measuring the output of internal temperature sensors. The accuracy of these measurements is ±7°C.
