Problem with SPI

[breedj]

Hi,

I've got some problems with SPI (mode 1) using an ESP32-WROVER-IB (16MB). I have made a pcb with two MAX11163 ADC's in daisychain mode. See page 21 of https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/ ... X11163.pdf. Thay are SPI compatible.

Up to an SPI frequency of 20MHz all goes well, but at 40 MHz frequencies I get problems. I receive the wrong data and I do not know why. The ADC's are 250ksps and should be capable of doing at least 60MHz clock speed. The signals at 40MHz look good on the scope. I've added some screenshots at 40MHz probed directly at the ESP32 pins. The scope has no problem decoding de data at all. Every frame is decoded correctly by the scope. But the data printed by the ESP32 is not correct at 40MHz

At the bottom I've added some data examples below. It looks like the data at 40MHZ is shifting and a '1' is added to the left or a bit is missing. This also occures when reading only 16 bit instead of 32.

I've tried all other SPI modes. Also tried other values of miso_delay_mode. All no succes. Can anyone give me a clue? I'm clearly missing something here.

Here is the example code for the Arduino framework. It also does not work with Platform IO (Arduino).

13.   hspi->begin(14, 12, -1, -1);  
14.   pinMode(ADC_CNVST, OUTPUT);
15.   //hspi->beginTransaction(SPISettings(spiClk, MSBFIRST, SPI_MODE1));
16.   hspi->setBitOrder(MSBFIRST);
17.   hspi->setDataMode(SPI_MODE1);
18.   hspi->setFrequency(spiClk);
19.   hspi->setHwCs(false);
20. }
21.  
22. uint16_t values_a[1000];
23. uint16_t values_b[1000];
24.  
25. // the loop function runs over and over again until power down or reset
26. void loop() {
27.   hspiCommand();  
28.    
29.   for (int i=0; i < 1000; i=i+10) {
30.     Serial.print(values_a[i], HEX);
31.     Serial.print(" ");
32.     Serial.println(values_b[i], HEX);
33.   }
34. }
35.  
36. void hspiCommand() {      
37.   uint32_t adc_data;
38.    
39.   for (int i=0; i < 1000; i++)
40.   {        
41.     digitalWrite(ADC_CNVST, HIGH);  // Start conversion
42.     delayMicroseconds(3);           // Wait 3us, conversion time
43.     adc_data = hspi->transfer32(0);        
44.     digitalWrite(ADC_CNVST, LOW);   // End      
45.     values_a[i] = (uint16_t)(adc_data & 0xFFFF);
46.     values_b[i] = (uint16_t)(adc_data >> 16);        
47.   }  
48. }

I don't have an answer for you but have been looking into ESP32 SPI and in particular HSPI and came across this in the documentation which you may already be aware of, but may be of interest..."Transfer Speed Considerations"
