High Speed Digital Signal Lab Cross Hole Ultrasonic Monitor Part A Presentation Students: Lotem Sharon Yuval Sela • Instructor : Ina Rivkin
Background • Cross Hole Ultrasonic Monitor (CHUM) system made by Piletest • Quality control of deep concrete foundation • Ultrasonic waves through the concrete • Measuring the energy and the first arrival time
Motivation • The current CHUM uses sample rate of 500kHz, complying American standard. • A necessity came up to comply with the 1MHz French standard.
Goal • Developing a board based on FPGA, that samples data at rates of up to 1MHz, and connects to the Motherboard. • Enabling a high sampling rate and a slow data transfer rate to the MC by FPGA configured as a FIFO and as a data flow controller.
Data Flow Scheme • Analog Devices AD7671 LQFP48 Analog to Digital Converter • Altera FPGA Cyclone IV EP4CE6 EQFP144 • Texas Instruments Micro-Controller MSP430F5419AIPZ, on the motherboard High speed Low speed To user interface Micro-Controller Analog from Rx FPGA (FIFO) ADC 1MHz
