SignalRanger_mk3 is a DSP board featuring a TMS320C6424 DSP running at 590 MHz, 6-input/6-output 96 kHz/24-bit analog interface designed for
pro-audio and high-performance control applications and a high-speed USB 2 interface, providing fast communication to the board. An optional
Ethernet link is also available.
The communication interfaces are based on the powerful and multi-purpose DDCI architecture.
The Signal Ranger Mk3 board is suitable for the following applications:
- Multi-channel speech and audio acquisition and processing
- Multi-channel control
- Measurement and Instrumentation
- Vibro-acoustic analysis
- Acoustic Array processing/Beamforming
- DSP software development
Hardware Features
- 6424 DSP from Texas Instruments at 590 MHz (4800 MMACS: Millions Multiply-ACcumulate operations per Second)
- 208 Kbytes of internal memory, 32 Mbytes of Flash memory, and 128 Mbytes of external memory DDR2 at 333 MHz
- 6 x 24-bits analog I/Os with an adjustable sampling rate between 4 kHz and 96 kHz (two of the six inputs can accept Electret microphones)
- Input SNR of 101 dB (audio bandwidth) and Output SNR of 104 dB (audio bandwidth)
- USB 2.0 interface (35 Mbit/s)
- Expansion connector: PWMs, GPIOs, McBSP, UARTs, and Timers
- Optional expansion board available with Ethernet (RJ45) connector (provided with software that allows remote access to the board through the web)
- Power supply connector (5VDC)
- Size: 12 cm x 8 cm
Software Features
- USB driver (signed) for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 32-bits/64-bits. When LabVIEW libraries are used,
the board can be used on MAC and Linux operating systems.
- LabView PC communication driver (Windows, MAC, and Linux) and standard API (DLL) for Windows OS only
- DSP driver for the analog I/Os and flash memory
- DSP code written in C for the analog I/Os ready to receive the user signal processing code (IO_Shell)
- PC and DSP example codes for flash memory and analog I/Os management
- Self-test PC application to test the entire hardware on the DSP board
- DDCI Interface (Development to Deployment Code Instrumentation) for a fast and easy application development.
This software can be used with the USB interface or the optional Ethernet interface.
