Here are some DSP projects that Templetronics expertise has successfully both directly designed and contributed to in the past. Our expertise has undertaken the base hardware design as well as the internal DSP design (algorithms & digital filter).
Processing Engine for Medical (FPGA)
Project: Data acqusition and processing engine using an FPGA
Description:
FPGA implemented design for a medical system in a theatre based surgical monitor incorporating: decimation & IIR digital, deconvolution filters designed, as well as peripheral interfaces (Pipeline ADC) and data transport interfaces and implemented in VHDL. FPGA target system: Xilinx Artix 7.
This algorithm set, plus the electronics system from sensor and signal conditioning, was modeled extensively in MATLAB/Simulink using existing and custom models to evaluate performance, and pre implementation/early evaluation of the intended architecture. Exploring the trade-offs, intended filter architectures and architectural performance provided early visibility of success, and confirmation that assumptions made on structures were sound. The additional benefit was to evaluate noise performance on the exact implementation, and see that the intended architecture was noise tolerant. Using simple filter topologies, in both the analogue and digital domains, yielded more than sufficient performance of noise rejection. Downstream algorithms aided smoothing and very satisfactory performance.
An additional feature of this method is to evaluate digital implementation performance as well as obtain results to aid verification. Co-simulation across domains is now very possible due to EDA power.
