These specifications of the pedal processor describe its core hardware components and their functionalities as follows:
1.CPU1 32-bit 170MHz
- 32-bit: The processor has a 32-bit data width, allowing it to handle 32 bits of data simultaneously, which enhances efficiency in processing complex calculations and multitasking.
- 170MHz: The clock frequency is 170MHz, indicating it can perform 170 million clock cycles per second. A higher frequency allows the processor to execute instructions faster, thereby improving overall performance.
- Function: As the main processor, CPU1 is responsible for executing primary computational tasks, controlling system operations, and handling key functions such as user input.
2.CPU2 32-bit 72MHz
- 32-bit: Also has a 32-bit data width, ensuring consistency with CPU1 in data processing capabilities.
- 72MHz: The clock frequency is 72MHz, approximately 72 million clock cycles per second. Although lower than CPU1, it is sufficient for handling specific auxiliary tasks.
- Function: As a secondary processor, CPU2 manages tasks such as signal processing, communication protocol management, or other minor functions, thereby reducing the load on CPU1 and enhancing the overall system efficiency and responsiveness.
3.Independent ADC Acquisition Chip 16-bit 65536 PPR
- 16-bit: The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) has a 16-bit resolution, capable of converting analog signals into 65,536 (2^16) distinct digital levels, providing high precision and subtlety.
- 65536 PPR (Pulses Per Revolution): Typically used to describe the resolution of rotary encoders or sensors, indicating that 65,536 pulses are generated per full rotation. In the context of a pedal processor, this is used for high-precision pedal position detection or motion capture.
- Function: The independent 16-bit ADC acquisition chip accurately converts the pedal's analog signals (such as position, pressure, etc.) into digital signals for the processor to analyze and respond to. The high resolution ensures nuanced and precise pedal operations, enhancing the user experience.
How These Parameters Affect Performance:
- Processing Power: The collaboration between CPU1 and CPU2 ensures efficient handling of main and auxiliary tasks, boosting overall system performance and responsiveness.
- Signal Precision: The high-resolution 16-bit ADC and high PPR value ensure precise and subtle pedal operations, making user interactions more responsive and accurate.
- System Efficiency: The clearly defined roles of the dual CPUs and the independent ADC acquisition chip reduce resource conflicts and processing delays, ensuring the pedal processor performs excellently even during complex and multitasking operations.
Summary: These parameters (CPU1 32-bit 170MHz, CPU2 32-bit 72MHz, Independent ADC Acquisition Chip 16-bit 65536 PPR) collectively form the core of the Pro X Control Box, ensuring efficient operation, high-precision signal processing, and an excellent user experience.
