4 Channel Analog to Digital Converter
| Examine four analog channels running up to 300 KSamples/second. The hardware has been simplified to remove extra cost. The input signals are limited to 0 to +5Volts and the sample rate is shared across all four channels. If you run one channel only, it will take advantage of the 300KSamples/second. If you run four channels, each channel will have a maximum sample rate of 75 KSamples/second. |
The UnoProLyzer Application
| The UnoProLyzer is an Open Source Oscilloscope Application created by Earth People Technology. This application runs on a Windows PC. It sends commands to and receives the data from the UnoProLogic and stores each channel data in its own separate buffer in memory. The UnoProLyzer collects all samples from each channel by streaming across up to four dedicated communication “pipes”. The traditional USB oscilloscope performs all of its functions down at the hardware level. This includes |
|
| These scopes will then send the selected data to be displayed on a laptop. Effectively using the laptop as a dumb terminal. However, the modern laptop is extremely powerful with multi-core processors and multi-threaded operating systems. So, why not take advantage of the processing power on the laptop. This is what the UnoProLogic and UnoProLyzer do so well. The UnoProLogic commands the ADC to start a conversion on the channels selected by the user. It then waits for the ADC to complete the conversion on all channels. It transfers the data for each channel across its own dedicated communication pipe. Then starts the process over again. The UnoProLyzer application will accept each data word and decode the pipe number it came across. It stores each word into a separate buffer for each channel. The UnoProLyzer then performs post processing on each data word. It performs trigger detection, smoothing, sorting, scaling and searching. It then displays the data set in 500 data point segments. |

EPT-4901-DA-S1 DAC Board
EPT-4901-DA-S1
Digital To Analog Converter Board
The EPT-4901-DA-S1 is an easy to use
DAC Board. It includes
an eight bit DAC and convinient
Bread Board connections
Purchase at these webstores:
|
|
|
| This DAC board features the MCP4091 Eight bit Digital to Analog chip. It is designed to fit into a bread board and connect to any Arduino board. The chip operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply with an SPI compatible Serial Peripheral Interface. So, it can accommodate the +3.3V and +5V Arduinos such as the Mini, Mini Pro, Nano. |
Hardware Features:
|
| The EPT-4901-DA-S1 contains a MCP4091 DAC chip. The board can be used to generate any analog voltage from ground to VREF. VREF is determined by a voltage divider using a potentiometer. The potentiometer allows VREF to vary from zero volts to VCC. VCC is determined by the voltage used to power the EPT-4901-DA-S1. The DAC will accept any input digital value from zero to 255 and convert this value to analog. However, VREF determines the step size of each digital value. |
Digital to Analog Converter
| The MCP4901 is a single channel 8-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). The devices operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply with an SPI compatible Serial Peripheral Interface. The user can configure the full-scale range of the device to be VREF or 2*VREF by setting the gain selection option bit (gain of 1 of 2). The device be can shut down by setting the Configuration Register bit. In Shutdown mode, most of the internal circuits are turned off for power savings, and the output amplifier is configured to present a known high resistance output load (500 kΩ typical). The device include double-buffered registers, allowing synchronous updates of the DAC output using the LDAC pin. These devices also incorporate a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit to ensure reliable powerup. The device utilizes a resistive string architecture, with its inherent advantages of low Differential Non-Linearity (DNL) error and fast settling time. This device is specified over the extended temperature range (+125°C). |
VREF Potentiometer
| The EPT-4901-DA-S1 board includes a 20K potentiometer. This pot forms a voltage divider with a second resistor to vary the voltage applied to VREF. This varied voltage provides an amplitude control for the Analog Out voltage. |
| By varying the VREF, the accuracy of the DAC can be improved. This is because the analog output step size between each DAC digital word is reduced. For example, if the VREF is set to 5V, the analog output step size is 5V/256 (Digital Steps) = 0.0195V per step. If the VREF is set to 2.5V, the analog output step size is 2.5V/256 (Digital Steps) = 0.00976V per step. The smaller the analog step size (or quanta), the more accurate the analog signal can be. |

Hardware Features:
|
Simplified Development Board
| The BeeProLogic DVD provides detailed step by step instructions to quickly guide the user to create a project, synthesize the project and download the programming file into the CPLD. The Quartus Prime Software must be downloaded from Intels website. Once the Quartus software is on your desktop, the guide will show you how to create a project, write you first LED blinky code, compile and program the CPLD. |
Programming the BeeProLogic Board
| The CPLD on the BeePro can be programmed with the code created by the user. Programming is quick and easy. The BeeProLogic Does Not Include An OnBoard programmer. The user must purchase a separate JTAG Blaster. To program the board, a standard USB Micro-B cable must be connected from power (USB Port on laptop) to the board. Then connect the JTAG Blaster to a USB Port on a laptop. Use the provided adapter to connect the JTAG Blaster 10 pin connector to the 6 pin. 2mm pitch connector.

| Use the Quartus Prime Software Tools to program the 5M240 CPLD on board the BeeProLogic. The User Manual includes step by step instructions on building the user project. It includes the steps to successfully program the CPLD. |
Controlling The Board
The User LEDs
| The BeeProLogic includes eleven user LEDs. The LEDs are directly sinked from the CPLD with the anode connected to +3.3V. This voltage is used to meet the forward voltage along with a 220 Ohm series resistor for each LED. The resistor provides the series current through the LEDS and controls the brightness. |
| The code to drive the LEDs is either zero (1’b0) or floating (1’bz). First, declare the LED as an output. In the example below, the vector LED is set to ‘reg’ because it is driven in an always block. |
| To turn the selected LED on, set the signal equal to 1’b0. This will apply a ground to the cathode side of the LED and allow current to flow through the circuit turning the LED on. To turn the selected LED off, set the signal equal to 1’bz. This will float the cathode side of the LED and no current will flow through the LED. |
The User Pushbuttons
| The BeeProLogic includes eight push button switches. All are momentary contact switches. They include a 1uF cap to ground to debounce both switches. The code to use these switches is simple, just declare an input on the selected switch pin. Then use code to activate the a function with the input signal goes to low. |
The 8 Bit DAC
| The BeeProLogic includes a single channel 8 bit DAC. The user can write any 8 bit digital value to the DAC and the associated analog voltage will appear on the output. The DAC is directly connected to the CPLD. The communication path between CPLD and the 8 bit DAC is via SPI bus. |
| TThe MCP4901 chip is an SPI Slave. Any SPI host can communicate with the chip at speeds up to 20 MHz. The chip has no minimum SPI clock speed. The chip will respond to any SPI slave at any clock rate as long as it does not exceed 20 MHz. |
User Inputs/Outputs
| The BeeProLogic has one 8 pin header that provide 5 digital Inputs and Outputs. All of the I/O’s are +3.3 VDC only. All I/O’s connect directly from the CPLD. The digital pins of the I/O Connector are directly accessible from pins on the CPLD. The user can access these pins by defining them in user HDL code. Then ensure that the pins are connected properly using the Pin Planner tool of Quartus. |

Verilog Code Description:
| The FPGA project is written in Verilog code. The code uses EndTerms to allow a flexible communications between the PC application and the FPGA. All communications go through the UC_Controller block. This module interfaces to a memory block and a control register block. When the PC application needs to perform an action, it will write the data to the memory block. Then, it will write an action bit to one of the control registers. The control registers are monitored in the Top Level code to initiate the action. |
| There are three main components that comprise the communication part of the FPGA code base. There are also several sub-processes that are required for the proper operation of the entire DSO 100M. The communication components: |
- Host Interface Component
- ADC Sample Storage Component
- Data Transmit Component
These components depend on the Active Transfer Library
(and conversely on the Active Host dll) to communicate,
initiate functions, start ADC sampling and transmit data.
All source files, compiled projects, testbenches, test
models are included on the EPT Project DVD. Locate the
Projects_HDL folder on the DVD for the project.
The following components make up the FPGA Code Base:
| The entire FPGA project has been simulated and includes and advanced testbench. The user manual includes an extensive description of the Verilog Modules and the interconnection between them. The testbenches and models have been written without any vendor specific IP, so the user can easily set up the free Modelsim from Intel/Altera and get simulating quickly. |
Software Description:
| The DSO 100M utilizes the UnoProLyzer application to control and display the oscilloscope results on a Windows PC. The UnoProLyzer is a C# Windows application. This means it is an event driven application. Any event such as a button press or timer expiring will initiate a function in the application. The application communicates with the FPGA Code via EndTerms. It sets up the buttons, timers and display in the Window. The applications waits in idle for the user to initiate an event, or an automatic event initiation. |
User events are as follows:
- Load the application
- Connect to the DSO 100M board
- Select channels to display
- Start the oscilloscope
- Select channel to process
- Horizontal Zoom on selected channel
- Vertical dynamic range selection
- Horizontal Timebase selection
- Triggering
- Cursor Measurement
Automatic Events are:
- Countdown Timer Expiration
- ADC storage data callback
Software Flow Diagram:
| The software flow diagram below shows some of the complexity of the UnoProLyzer. Each path starts off with an event, either user or automatic. The user will select channels to display, set the Horizontal Timebase to use by the ADC’s, set the Vertical Dynamic Range to display of each channel, then start the display of the analog signals acquired by each ADC. |
DSO Programming:
| The DSO is easily programmed from the Quartus Lite Software. Just plug a Micro B USB cable from an open Port on the PC to the Connector on the DSO 100M and load the drivers. A proprietary *.dll from EPT allows the DSO 100M Configuration Flash to be programmed directly from Quartus. |
