4.4.3.3. 15 Channels with 15 Valid Cycles and 17 Invalid Cycles

Sometimes invalid cycles are inserted between the input data. An example where the clock rate = 320, sample rate = 10, yields a TDM factor of 32, inputChannelNum = 15, and interpolation factor is 10. In this case, the TDM factor is greater than inputChannelNum. The optimization produces a filter with PhysChanIn = 1, ChansPerPhyIn = 15, PhysChanOut = 5, and ChansPerPhyOut = 3.

The input data format in this case is 32 cycles long, which comes from the TDM factor. The number of channels is 15, so the filter expects 15 valid cycles together in a block, followed by 17 invalid cycles. You can insert extra invalid cycles at the end, but they must not interrupt the packets of data after the process has started. If the input sample rate is less than the clock rate, the pattern is always the same: a repeating cycle, as long as the TDM factor, with the number of channels as the number of valid cycles required, and the remainder as invalid cycles.
