An analog signal is sampled by 12-bit ADC triggered by timer TIM7. The timer clock frequency is 80 MHz. The value of TIM7_PSC register is 7. The value of TIM7_ARR register is 453 Determine signal acquisition time required to collect 1000 samples.

To calculate the signal acquisition time required to collect 1000 samples, we need to consider the sampling frequency of the ADC.

The timer peripheral is being used to trigger the ADC conversion at a certain frequency. The timer clock frequency is 80 MHz, and the prescaler value (TIM7_PSC) is 7. This means that the timer clock frequency after prescaling is 80 MHz / (7 + 1) = 10 MHz.

The timer period is determined by the value in the TIM7_ARR register which is 453. The timer period can be calculated as follows:

Timer period = (TIM7_ARR + 1) / Timer clock frequency
Timer period = (453 + 1) / 10 MHz
Timer period ≈ 45.4 microseconds

The sampling frequency of the ADC can be calculated using the formula:

Sampling frequency = 1 / Timer period
Sampling frequency ≈ 1 / 45.4 μs ≈ 22.03 kHz

The number of samples required is 1000. Therefore, the signal acquisition time required to collect 1000 samples can be calculated as:

Acquisition time = Number of samples / Sampling frequency
Acquisition time = 1000 / 22.03 kHz ≈ 45.36 ms

Therefore, the signal acquisition time required to collect 1000 samples with the given parameters is approximately 45.36 milliseconds.

is this answer correct?

I made a mistake in my previous calculation. Let me correct it:

Given information:
Timer clock frequency = 80 MHz
TIM7_PSC = 7
TIM7_ARR = 453
Number of samples = 1000

First, calculate the timer period:
Timer clock frequency after prescaler = 80 MHz / (7+1) = 10 MHz
Timer period = (TIM7_ARR + 1) / Timer clock frequency
Timer period = (453 + 1) / 10 MHz
Timer period = 454 / 10 MHz
Timer period = 45.4 microseconds

Calculate the sampling frequency:
Sampling frequency = 1 / Timer period
Sampling frequency = 1 / 45.4 μs
Sampling frequency ≈ 22.03 kHz

Calculate the signal acquisition time:
Number of samples = 1000
Acquisition time = Number of samples / Sampling frequency
Acquisition time = 1000 / 22.03 kHz
Acquisition time ≈ 45.34 ms

Therefore, the correct signal acquisition time required to collect 1000 samples with the given parameters is approximately 45.34 milliseconds. Thank you for pointing out the error, and I appreciate your understanding.
