Different output between TDM1 and TDM2

[Tengrii]

Hi all.

In connection with a hobby project, I have to make use of both TDMs which are built into Teensy 4.1. Using designer tool I have connected 4 DC signals with an amplitude 1 on both TDM on the same channels. I get the expected output on TDM1 but TDM2 gives me something completely different. I have tried with different amplitudes values even with minus values ​​too, it is as if TDM2 it has a different interpretation of data.
furthermore, TDM2 is offset by 2.5 us almost compared to TDM1. I have attached a picture with my scope measurements. I have used both analog and digital to eliminate that it is my measuring equipment that is wrong with, the outcome is the same.
What am i doing wrong? Does the TDM2 need to be initiated somehow to be working synchronised with TDM1?

On TDM1 I measure on pins 7 and 20
and on TDM2 I measure on pins 2 and 3.

This is a how it looks when i use different amplitude values.

I managed to fix my problem

Can you share what the problem was? Maybe that info could help anyone who later finds this thread by search.

Hey Paul, Yes ofcourse!

As it can be seen on the images above i was getting what i did expect from TDM but not TDM2.
It was like something was sending out some "random" data, i think its some kind of register or buffer that was sending data out, i am still not sure what it is.

I did connect a DC signal with the amplitude 0 on some of the TDM2 channel and tried to send something and it worked out.
I had 3 other DC signals which i did connect to the same channels on TDM and TDM2.

I tried to connect i2s2 instead of TDM2 since they use the same pins, i had no problems with that, i could read what i data i sent out. Only problem with i2s was again that there was offset by 2.5 us.


Right now I'm trying to get both TDMs to run synchronously with each other. I think the reason there is a "delay" of 2.5 us, is because the TDMs do not run on the same clock.
So i am trying to get them to run on the same clock.
I have looked a bit at the data sheet and I can see that it should be possible to run them synchronously with each other, I am still working on how, if you have a solution you are very welcome to share it
