Overview

Combined signal acquisition/generation

and USB interface card:
Data acquisition/generation via 1 audio
CODEC, 2 ADCs and 2 DACs. (See
Chapter 8 for applications).
PC interface to DSK via USB chipset.
USB chipset to DSP on DSK via EMIF.

Audio CODEC: CS4218

(see Chapter 8)

Chapter 20, Slide 8

High quality stereo audio input and

output.
Sampling rate of 48 kHz.
16 bit output (same resolution as audio
CD).
Interface to DSP via serial ports.

Dr. Naim

ADCs and DACs: AD9220 and AD768

Chapter 20, Slide 9

Two ADCs for digital to analogue

conversion of high frequency signals.
Two DACs for arbitrary waveform
generation of high frequency signals.
Interface between DSP and converters
via DSP's EMIF.

Dr. Naim

USB Interface Chipset

Chapter 20, Slide 10

USB revision 1.1 full speed device.

16 bit interface to DSP via EMIF.
Data transfer rates between DSP and PC
of up to 7M bits per second.
Internal FIFOs with programmable
empty and full flags connected to DSP's
timer input pins.

Dr. Naim

Using the Audio CODEC (1)

Chapter 20, Slide 11

Set up transmit and receive serial ports'

pins. Serial ports should be set up to use
external frame synch and clock signals.
Rising edges are used to clock
transmit/receive data and frame synchs
are active high.

Dr. Naim

Using the Audio CODEC (2)

Chapter 20, Slide 12

Set up the serial ports to use 32 bit

words, the data are delayed by one clock
edge, no companding is used.
The sample data are in the upper 16 bit
words of each 32 bit word. The lower 16
bits are used for control information.

Dr. Naim

Using the DACs and ADCs (1)

Chapter 20, Slide 13

The DACs and ADCs are connected to

the DSP's EMIF.
DACs and ADCs can be accessed by
reading from and writing to the DSP's
CE3 memory space.

Dr. Naim

Using the DACs and ADCs (2)

Chapter 20, Slide 14

A 32 bit read from the CE3 memory

space reads packed data, two 16 bit
words per 32 bit word. The ADCs have
12 bit resolution and should be
converted to 2's complement signed
values.
A 32 bit write to the CE3 memory space
writes data to both DACs. The data are
packed, two 16 bit words per 32 bit
word. The DACs have 16 bit resolution.

Dr. Naim

Using the USB interface (1)

Using the USB interface from the PC

requires software to communicate with
the device driver.

The USB chipset is connected to the DSP

via the EMIF.

The USB chip is mapped to the DSP's

CE2 memory space.

The CE2 memory space should be set up

using the following value for the CE2
control register: 0x7136C424.

Chapter 20, Slide 15

Dr. Naim

Using the USB interface (2)

Chapter 20, Slide 16

Reading and writing to USB

accomplished by accessing CE2 memory
space.
FIFO flags connected to DSPs timer
inputs provide information on USB
chips FIFO status.
DSP should monitor FIFO flags to avoid
under or overruns.

Dr. Naim

PC - USB daughter board communication

Chapter 20, Slide 17

Communicating with the board from the

PC requires code to interface to the USB
device driver.
Lower level details of communicating
with the device are handled by the
device driver.
Code running on a built-in micro
controller on the USB chip is used to
move the data between the USB buffers
and external port FIFOs.

PC - USB daughter board communication

Application: FFT processed on the DSK,
results sent to the PC via the USB interface
and the spectrum is display on the PC.
