Hello Richard,
Thank you for the prompt replys. Regarding the minimum sample and max sample you've mentioned above I take it that these two values should not occur when the ADC is not overdriven to saturation. Then, I can use these as qualifiers to catch the saturation condition? So probably if within a certain number of consecutive samples if I have either of those codes occur I'm guaranteed that the frame is indicating ADC saturation.
Is there another way that people can detect ADC saturation?
I'm pushing the ADC samples into a fifo and then reading the fifo samples and pushing the read data into a module that converts it to a 2's complement format. Afterwards I take the fft of the data.
Thanks,
Peter
