Multichannel frequency acquisition circuit with APB interface

Abstract

The invention discloses a multichannel frequency acquisition circuit with an APB interface.The multichannel frequency acquisition circuit comprises the APB interface which is integrated in an SoC system to form a universal IP module, an internal storage, a programmable counter / timekeeper, multiple independent catching modules and multiple corresponding FIFO modules used for storing catching moment time values.The storage address space of the on-chip SoC system is distributed for the internal storage.A microprocessor in the SoC system configures, reads and writes the internal storage through the APB interface, and processes received interrupt signals.The universal IP module in the SoC system is mainly used as the IP module with the APB interface, and the IP module is high in practicability, portability and universality.The multichannel frequency acquisition circuit is small in occupied area, capable of saving circuit cost, limited in use resource, simple and easy to obtain.The FIFO module which can store certain catching moment time information is internally designed, and it is prevented that a CPU can not respond to interruption in time to cover values of catching moment storage time information.
