Sample rate / actual sample rate confusion MCC172

[NicR]

I've notice that no matter what I set the sample_rate to I always get ~51KHZ sampling which is leading (I think) to buffer overflow as I'm reading out only a fraction of what is being produced?

So I guess I'm confused by the fact that mcc172_a_in_clock_config_write uses sample_rate yet mcc172_a_in_clock_config_read uses &actual_sample_rate.

Is there a way of explicitly setting the read rate? or do I have to use actual_sample_rate?

Hello,

The MCC 172 supports a subset of ranges. The formula is 51.2k / 1..256. If you pass an invalid value, it will pick the next closest valid value. Use mcc172_a_in_clock_write to set the sample rate to 2048. Use mcc172_a_in_clock_config_read to read actual_sample_rate; the two rates should match at 2048. However, it is more than a simple matter of calling mcc172_a_in_clock_config_read once. Call it several times until synced parameter comes back true. Take a look at the continuous_scan.c example.

Best regards,

OK thanks thats making sense now.
