EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
When you have completed this exercise, you will be familiar with the location and the
functions of each of the various components of the digital signal processor training
system.
DISCUSSION OUTLINE
The Discussion of this exercise covers the following points:
• The accessories section
Power supply with an auxiliary power input DC source. Microphone pre-
amplifier, Audio amplifier.
• The DSP and its peripherals section
Digital signal processor CODEC I/O interface Interrupts Auxiliary VO USB
ports
PROCEDURE
The procedure is divided into following sections:
• Circuit board introduction
• Familiarization with the circuit board using a DSP program
• Using a second application
5. While talking into the microphone, familiarize yourself with the use of the
potentiometers of the microphone pre-amplifier and of the audio amplifier blocks.
Next, press the icon in the menu where the debug icon was in order to run
the program.
At this point, you should see the following information on the LCD of the DSP
circuit board:
LabV01t 91031 Ext-I
Echo Generator
9. Perform the connections shown in Figure 1-24.
14. Click on the icon (next to the Run icon — see Figure 1-23) to terminate the
execution of the program.
Using a second application
In this section, you will experiment with a different program using the same
connections.
15. Make exercise_1 1b the active project simply by clicking on that project in the
Project Explorer window.
Launch the Debug mode by clicking the icon to load the program into the DSP.
Next, press the to run the program.
At this point, you should see the following information on the LCD of the DSP
circuit board:
LabVolt 91031 Exi-lb
Echo/Flanger Generator
16. Experiment with this application. Press the INTO and INTI interrupt buttons and
modify the value of the DIP switch. Speak in the microphone or use a sound signal.
What can be done with this application?
17, Click on the icon to terminate the execution of the program. Return to the projects
tab and quit Code Composer.
Turn OFF the power supply and remove the connections (leads) you made on
the circuit board.
CONCLUSION
In this exercise, you observed that the digital signal processor board is divided in two
sections: the circuit board accessories and the DSP and its peripherals. Further. the
board is subdivided into individual functional circuit blocks. You also learned how to load
a program into the DSP and you used the program to add an echo to the input signal.
The next exercise will go into more details about the development environment and the
project structure.
REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. Before the DSP circuit board can be used, a few steps must first be taken. Which
steps must be completed before using the board?
a. Make certain that the DIP switches of the I/O interface are all in the OFF position.
b. Make certain that a USB connection between the board and the computer is present.
c. Make certain that the power source of the board is turned ON.
d. Both b. and c.
3. What does the TMS320C5535 chip found on the DSP circuit board use to set the
frequency of its master clock?
a. The DSP uses its 100 MHz internal oscillator.
b. The DSP uses a 32.768 kHz external oscillator and a phase-locked loop.
c. The DSP uses the 33.3 MHz oscillator of the CODEC.
d. The DSP uses the clock of the computer through the USB connection.
4. Which of the following components is usually found in a CODEC?
a. An anti-aliasing filter
b. An analog-to-digital convener
c. A digital-to-analog converter
d. All of the above
5. Increasing the echo delay has which effect on the signal at the output of the
a. It increases the echo effect.
b. It increases the time between consecutive echoes.
c. The sound seems more remote.
d. All of the above
