Synopsis

The objective of this book is to provide DSP system designers with the knowledge needed to select an appropriate data converter for a specific DSP system of interest, and to provide the know-how for the implementation and optimization of computationally intensive signal-processing algorithms on the family of TMS320C6x DSP processors. It is written for those who are already familiar with DSP concepts and are interested in designing DSP systems based on TI data converters and TI C6x DSP products. It can be used as a self-study guide for designing C6x-based DSP systems. Analog-to-Digital Signal Conversion; Data Converter Specifications; Architectures of Data Converters; TMS320C6X Architecture; Software Tools; Interrupt Data Processing; Fixed Point VS. Floating Point; Code Optimization; Circular Buffering; Frame Processing; Real-time Analysis and Scheduling. For DSP system designers.

About this title

From the Back Cover

A data converter MATLAB toolbox and eight lab exercises are discussed and included on the enclosed CD to take the reader through the entire process of analog to digital signal conversion and C6000 code writing. As a result, the book can be used as a self-study guide for designing C6000-based DSP systems. To facilitate use as lecture materials for a real-time DSP laboratory course, the chapters are organized to create a close correlation between the topics and lab exercises. Knowledge of the C programming language and MATLAB is required for understanding and performing the lab exercises.

Preface

Digital signal processing (DSP) has experienced an enormous growth in the last 20 years. Nowadays, DSP systems such as cell phones and high-speed modems have become an integral part of our lives. The three major components of DSP systems are DSP processors, and analog-to-digital converters, and digital-to-analog data converters. DSP processors are expected to play a major role in the next generation of high-speed communication systems and networks. The TMS320C6000 processor family has been introduced by Texas Instruments to meet such high-performance demands.

This book has evolved from a DSP laboratory course I have taught at Texas A&M University. The objective of the book is twofold: (a) to provide DSP system designers with the knowledge needed to select an appropriate data converter for a specific DSP system of interest and (b) to provide the know-how for the implementation and optimization of computationally intensive signal-processing algorithms on the family of I'MS320C6x DSP processors. The book is also written for the purpose of providing a textbook for a real-time DSP laboratory course using the TMS320C6x DSP Such a course is meant to be a follow-up to a first course in DSP The material presented here is written primarily for those who are already familiar with DSP concepts and are interested in designing DSP systems based on TI data converters and TI C6x DSP products. Note that a great deal of the information in the book appears in the TI reference manuals on the C6000 DSP family 9-19. However, this information has been restructured, modified, and condensed to be used for teaching a DSP laboratory course in a semester period. It is recommended that these manuals be used in conjunction with the book in order to make full use of the information presented.

A data converter Matlab toolbox and eight lab exercises are discussed and included on an attached CD to take the reader through the entire process of analog-to-digital signal conversion and C6x code writing. As a result, the book can be used as a self-study guide for designing C6x-based DSP systems. The chapters are organized to create a close correlation between the topics and lab exercises if they are used as lecture materials for a DSP lab course. Knowledge of the C programming language and Matlab is required for understanding and performing the lab exercises. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We would like to express our gratitude to Texas Instruments for allowing us to use the materials in their manuals. All the figures marked by t in their captions are redrawn or modified courtesy of Texas Instruments. We wish to extend our appreciation to Gene Frantz at Texas Instruments, who brought to our attention the need for writing this book. The book would not have materialized without his encouragement. We are grateful to Leon Adams and Maria Ho at Texas Instruments, who provided the necessary administrative support to write the book in a short period of time. We would like to thank Tom Robbins and Alice Dworkin at Prentice Hall for expediting the publication process. Among many students who provided feedback on the lab exercises, we are deeply indebted to Sooncheol Baeg, who, as the laboratory teaching assistant, made many useful suggestions.
