Analyzing serial data from AD Converter

[ezhanga]

Dear,

I recently need to use the digital analyzer function in Analog Discovery 2, in order to test a 13-bit SAR-ADC.

I knew that the Analog Discovery 2 can easily read and analyze the 13 bits in parallel.

However, this ADC was fabricated with access only to the output of its comparator, which means that the 13 bits are in series, together with 1 EOC bit and 6 waiting bits.

Could you please inform me if there is a possibility to analyze this digital output with the Waveform software? If not, is there a possibility to operate Analog Discovery 2 with Matlab toolbox in order to de-serialize the data before processing?

Thank you in advance,

Ray

Hi @ezhanga,

I have moved your question to a more appropriate question of the forum.

To make sure I understand your goal, you are wanting to develop a custom application to interpret 20 bits of data in serial?

Thanks,
JColvin

Hi @ezhanga

You can add various signal interpreters in the Logic Analyzer or you can use the Scope in mixed mode, or the Protocol tool Spy methods.
Do you know what digital protocol does your ADC use ?
