TMS320C5x DSP Teaching Kit The 'C5x DSP TEaching Kit is a comprehensive mixture of theory and laboratory work that enables the first or second year undergraduate electrical engineering student to grasp the fundamentals of DSP. The kit (part no. TMD320015x) is also an excellent tool to train computer engineering students, industrial training courses, or technicians. Based on the 'C5 DSP starter kit development board, the teaching kit combines an easy-to-use fixed-point DSP design tool and software with classroom and lab materials such as lecture topics, instructor and student guides, textbook, and even sample text questions. Key Features Comprehensive instructor and student guides Overhead projector transparencies Demonstration programs, including source code Test questions and marking sheets Student notes 'C5x DSP Starter Kit, cables, power supply, and adapters "A Simple Approach to DSP" textbook by Gillian Ewers and Craig Marven Lecture Topics Lecture 1. Introduction - Why DSP? This lecture dissolver the mystery surrounding DSPs and explores the advantages of digital systems. The demonstration illustrates the effectiveness of a DSP in a multiply and accumulate operation (MAC) by introducing a tone generator. Lecture 2. Sampling, Conversion, and Systems The conversion of analogy to digital and sampling criteria are covered, along with the functional blocks of a DSP system. Among the demonstration sis the crucial issue of aliasing. Lecture 3. Filtering Starting from the analog world, the concepts of digital filtering are introduced, aided by a demonstration of filter design and the effect of filtering on an audio signal. Lecture 4. The Frequency Domain - DFTs and FFTs This lecture looks at the frequency domain and takes a practical approach to a difficult topic: discrete and fast fourier transforms. This demonstration included the process of signal analysis. Lecture 5. Applications - Speech and Image Processing The final lecture provides a foundation for further study by introducing the concepts of speech and image processing. The demonstration features the design of a tone generator, including different methods for sound generation. Beyond the DSP Teaching Kit The 'C5x DSP Teaching Kit provides a great entry-level development environment for learning and experimenting with TMS320 DSPs. However, as your design experience grows, you may want to move on to additional functionality and expanded capabilities. To meet these needs, TI offers a comprehensive line of development tools for the TMS320 DSPs that support the design process from system concept to production.
