TRANSFERRING 16-BIT DATA USING THE TMS320C17 DSP 8-BIT SERIAL PORT

This application report describes two methods of using an 8-bit serial port to receive a 16-bit data word. The first method uses the Texas Instruments (TI™) TMS320C17 ('C17) digital signal processor (DSP) 8-bit serial port to receive the 16-bit data word. The second method improves the first method by adding a counter to the hardware. This report describes the hardware and software modifications required for the 16-bit to 8-bit data conversion.
