3.1.9 Dual-Clock Comparator (DCC)

The Dual-Clock Comparator (DCC) is a new module for the F2838x devices that is used for evaluating and monitoring the clock input based on a second clock, which can be a more accurate and reliable version. This instrumentation is used to detect faults in clock source or clock structures, thereby enhancing the system's safety metrics.

The main features of each of the DCC modules are:

  • Allows the application to ensure that a fixed ratio is maintained between frequencies of two clock signals
  • Supports the definition of a programmable tolerance window in terms of the number of reference clock cycles
  • Supports continuous monitoring without requiring application intervention
  • Supports a single-sequence mode for spot measurements
  • Allows the selection of a clock source for each of the counters, resulting in several specific use cases

For more details on the DCC, see the TMS320F2838x Microcontrollers Technical Reference Manual.
