Digital Signal Processor
The Lab-Volt Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is the first trainer on the market that teaches students the control devices and data-processing capabilities of a DSP. Through the operation of the DSP circuit board and accompanying courseware, students gain insight into the internal architecture of a DSP. The unit can be used either with the F.A.C.E.T. base unit or as a stand-alone trainer.
The module consists of a DC source, a microphone pre-amplifier and an audio amplifier. An eight-position dipswitch, four displays, push-button interrupts, and analog input and output connections to the DSP enable students to probe the structure of the TMS320C50 DSP. The auxiliary I/O circuit block has headers that enable students to design additional experiments or prototypes of DSP-controlled circuit boards.
Through a serial link to a computer, Windows-based debugger software enables direct interaction with the DSP registers, memory and peripherals.
