This paper outlines some useful rules for PCM placement. This paper describes rules about slow read rates, interleaving threads, minimum word size, master/slave operation, and multiple PCM streams. The following topics are discussed:
- “19.1 Rule 1: Bus monitors - do not interleave threads from the same module” on page 1
- “19.2 Rule 2: Master/slave operation” on page 1
- “19.3 Rule 3: Minimum word size” on page 2
- “19.4 Rule 4: Multiple PCM streams - acquisition cycles must agree” on page 2
- “19.5 Rule 5: Read delay after start of acquisition cycle” on page 2
- “19.6 Rule 6: Slow read rate” on page 2
- “19.7 Appendix” on page 2
