DSP ALGORITHMS

Historical Notes from 1997:

Our work in the area of digital signal processing involves prototyping a variety of hardware designs related signal processing. As part of our educational mission, we give students hands on experience with circuit design, manual and auto-routing of printed circuit boards (PCBs), PCB production, circuit analysis and system integration. Our more recent efforts have been in the area of using DSP chips to perform pattern recognition algorithms.[1,2,4,5,7]

OTHER EXAMPLES OF DSP OR DSP RELATED HARDWARE

Figure 1: Digital I/O card using an 8255 programmable digital interface was designed and made in the EE PCB Laboratory. Includes an ADC0820 flash convertor. Card is compatible with PC ISA bus.

Figure 2: Another card produced by students was an optically coupled 8255 card, ISA bus compatible, and ADC0820 flash convertor. This card is designed specifically for the control of motors and other noisey peripherals.

Figure 3: Graduate level work includes this TMS320c26 with external memory and ISA bus control. Cards are designed to be used in parallel to perform pattern recognition algorithms. Card includes serial ports for inter-card communications and processing independent of ISA bus.

Figure 4: TMSc26 configured for serial processing, includes external memory and analog signal I/O. Can be used in conjunction with card in Figure 3, for inter-card data processing and communication.

Figure 5: Two Independent TMS320's on and ISA compatible card. This project was with collaboration between Donohue, Reeves, Lhamon and Hassebrook.
