Up to now

• ADC is running

• DAC is running
• What is your resolution?
• 555 Timer is running (or close to running)
• What is the frequency and duty cycle?

3

Step 6

• Part 1
• Assemble the 16-bit address generator
• Place the circuitry according to your floorplan
• Use the 555 counter as the clock for now
• Design and build a circuit that will provide a
  17th bit
• This step is required to get full hardware credit
• Confirm functionality using the logic analyzer

Step 674LS590 Description

• 8-Bit Counter With Register
• Parallel Register Outputs
• Choice Of 3 State Or Open Collector Register
  Outputs
• Guaranteed Counter Freq DC To 20 MHz

9
Step 674LS590 Description

• Multi-chip applications
• For cascading, a ripple carry output RCO is
  provided. Expansion is easily accomplished for
  two stages by connecting RCO of the first stage
  to CCKEN of the second stage. Cascading for
  larger count chains can be accomplished by
  connecting RCO of each stage to CCK of the
  following stage.

Step 674LS590 Description

• Both the counter and register clocks are
  positive edge triggered. If the user wishes to
  connect both clocks together, the counter state
  will always be one count ahead of the register.

12
Part 2 - Measure AND Time Delay

• Wire the clock signal into two AND gates in
  series to create a delay
• Measure the delay and use this signal as the
  input for your control circuitry
• Use the oscilloscope to measure delay by placing
  the input and output signals on the screen
  simultaneously, trigger on the input signal and
  use the cursors to measure the delay between
  edges

15
Step 6 Prelab

• In your Prelab Workbook
• Sketch the schematic
• Sketch your control circuitry and timing diagrams
  needed to control circuit

16
What should the circuit do?

• The circuit should have two stages
• 1- Take 217 readings from the ADC and store then
  in the RAM
• 2- Take the ADC offline and write the recorded
  signals from the RAM to the bus for output
• Note - The ADC output and the RAM input/output
  are all on the same bus, meaning that the ADC
  cannot write outputs to the bus at the same time
  as the RAM

17
Part 3 - Control Circuitry

• First - decide which signals are involved in the
  control circuitry
• 555 Timer
• ADC controls
• RAM controls
• Second - create a timing diagram that describes
  what the signals need to look like in order to
  control the circuit properly

20
ADC Control

• Get the ADC off-line
• Our acquisition system has only one data bus,
  which is shared by the ADC and the DAC
• We have to take the ADC off-line during the RAM
  READ cycle so we do not have the ADC and RAM
  writing to the bus simultaneously

21
ADC Control

• Specify when to get new data
• Take the ADC out of its current free-running mode
  
• In free-running mode, the INTR pin signal
  initiates a new data conversion when it falls
• Synchronize the system
• Generate a new memory address every clock cycle
• Put new data on the bus every clock cycle

ADC ControlFree-Running Circuit

• While CS is low, acquisition starts whenever WR
  drops
• How can this happen?
• Start switch is grounded
• INTR output falls

25
ADC ControlFree-Running Circuit

• While CS and RD are low, data will appear at the
  outputs DB7DB0 as soon as it is ready
• About 72 internal clock cycles

RD must be low for data to appear at outputs.
When RD is high, outputs are Hi-Z.
28
ADC Control

• Redesign the connections to the ADC control pins
  to get the results you want
• Details of the pin functions are on the data
  sheet
• Diagrams of control sequences are on the data
  sheet

30
The first task is to make sure the 555 clock and
the ADC internal clock are coordinated.
31
If WE_ never rises, no conversions will occur.
32
If there are no conversions, INTR_ will stay high.
33
There should be no pulses on WR_ in READ mode.
34
When RD_ is high the ADC output is high-impedance.
35
OE_ is low in READ mode.
36
Draw a Timing Diagram for the Control Circuitry

• Which signals are involved
• Which ones are inputs and which are outputs
• What should the signals look like in order to get
  the correct behavior
• Try writing the sequence of steps down in words
  first, then creating the timing diagram
• Keep in mind which signals are active low and
  active high, what state does a signal need to be
  in during a stage where it is not switching?

37
Timing Diagram

• Complete a timing diagram and circuit schematic
  for the controls
• Have Eric check your results before you begin
  construction, and be ready to answer questions
  about your decisions

38
Hints

• Dont connect power supplies incorrectly now, if
  your RAM goes you will not be happy
• Remove your ADC chip during control signal
  testing
• Check your ADC internal clock - is it fast
  enough?

39
Optimizing the Circuit

• Goal Record audio to your specs
• Storage is limited
• 131,072 sites in RAM (217)
• Acquisition speed is limited
• ADC internal clock must make about 72 cycles per
  conversion
• High speed high bandwidth
• High speed short capture time

40
Optimize the Circuit

• You have a design goal for how you want your
  circuit to function
• If necessary to meet this goal
• Adjust the ADC internal clock frequency
• Adjust the on-board (555) clock

41
Test the Circuit

• Display analog input (sine or ramp) and analog
  output on scope
• During the RAM WRITE cycle, the data on the bus
  comes from the ADC
• The DAC automatically converts it back to analog.
• At low frequencies, the DAC output should be
  identical to the analog input

42
Test the Circuit

• Display analog input (sine or ramp) and analog
  output on scope
• During the RAM READ cycle, the data on the bus
  comes from the RAM
• The DAC automatically converts it back to analog
• The DAC output should be identical to the analog
  input of the previous acquisition cycle

43
Test the Circuit

• Note the length of the acquisition (WRITE) cycle.
  Does it equal 131,072 times the period of the
  on-board clock?
• Note the length of the READ cycle. Does it equal
  131,072 times the period of the on-board clock?
• If you want to see if the circuit is really
  working, pull the RAM chip
• Your output should be 0 during the READ cycle
