Detailed Description

The AXI_ADC_TRIGGER IP implements triggering for the ADC path based on two trigger pins or based on the analog channel.

The trigger pins are controlled by the core and can be both input or output. For external triggering, they must be set to inputs.

The analog triggering is based on comparison with a limit. The data format must be 2's complement and maximum number of bits of the analog channel is 15. The trigger is embedded in the output word, at bit 15. Before forwarding the data to the DMA, the triggers must be extracted and data must be reconstructed. The UTIL_EXTRACT IP can be used for this purpose. Embedding the trigger with the data allows for additional IPs with unknown pipeline length to be introduced in the path.

If a history for data before the trigger is needed to be transfered, a variable FIFO IP should be used. The FIFO depth is controlled using the trigger_offset bus of this IP.
