Development Notes
DAC
- The output impedance is a concern. Without the Output Buffer enabled, >100kohm impedance for the load is needed. Even WITH Output Buffer enabled, a 1kohm load is not really possible, both high and low end of range is not reached, which is a bit strange. 10kohm hasn't been tested yet, but datasheet indicates that a 5kohm load should be fine.
- For fastest write to DAC output, this is used;
DAC->RD12BDHR = dac_value1 + (dac_value2 << 16);
- Simple initialization is;
RCC_APB1PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB1Periph_DAC, ENABLE );
DAC_InitTypeDef DAC_InitType={0};
DAC_InitType.DAC_Trigger=DAC_Trigger_None;
DAC_InitType.DAC_WaveGeneration=DAC_WaveGeneration_None;
DAC_InitType.DAC_OutputBuffer=DAC_OutputBuffer_Enable;
DAC_Init(DAC_Channel_1,&DAC_InitType);
DAC_Init(DAC_Channel_2,&DAC_InitType);
DAC_Cmd(DAC_Channel_1, ENABLE);
DAC_Cmd(DAC_Channel_2, ENABLE);
Execution Speed
While executing some tests, I noticed that an extra layer of function call added much more time than should be the case.
In the TIM7_IRQHandler I did
__attribute__((interrupt("WCH-Interrupt-fast"))) void TIM7_IRQHandler() {
GET_INT_SP();
rt_interrupt_enter();
GPIO_WriteBit(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_7, Bit_SET);
GPIO_WriteBit(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_7, Bit_RESET);
set_testpoint(0);
clear_testpoint(0);
demiurge_tick();
TIM7->INTFR = 0;
rt_interrupt_leave();
FREE_INT_SP();
}
and the set_testpoint(0) and clear_testpoint(0) functions as follows;
void set_testpoint(int point)
{
GPIO_WriteBit(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_7, Bit_SET);
}
void clear_testpoint(int point)
{
GPIO_WriteBit(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_7, Bit_RESET);
}
It is clear that there is literally only one extra call. In assembler we can see that the compiler has not inlined any of this code;
21 __attribute__((interrupt("WCH-Interrupt-fast"))) void TIM7_IRQHandler() {
22 002c 73110134 GET_INT_SP();

But on the oscilloscope, I get a 70ns pulse first and a 220ns pulse there after. So why does
46 0060 0145 li a0,0 47 0062 97000000 call set_testpoint
take 150ns to execute? For the GPIO_WriteBit we have 5 32-bit and 1 16-bit instruction, and inside GPIO_WriteBit we get 3 assembly instructions. At 144MHz, each fetch cycle is ~7ns, so 7*9 = 63ns which is very close to what I observe. So the
li a0,0 call set_testpoint
should only take 14 or may 21 ns, not 150ns!!!
So why is this happening??
