It depends on the interface to the ADC. There is a parallel capture interface that will easily run that fast, and you may be able to use the bit-shift interface to do serial or something like SPI if the PRU's capability lines up with what your ADC wants to see. In the PRU Reference guide, review section 5.2.2.3.2 "16-Bit Parallel Capture" and section 5.2.2.3.3 "28-Bit Shift" to see if they will mesh well with your ADC's interface. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
