1 semester project

Introduction The MSS (mixed signal system) from Alex &

Rony’s project, combines analog and digital signals.

With the help of Alterra’s DE2, analog signals can be digitally processed after being sampled by the MSS.

The MSS can get ±1v as input and ±1.4vThe MSS can get ±1v as input and ±1.4vas output. In order to enlarge these ranges, we as output. In order to enlarge these ranges, we put an attenuator at the input and an amplifier at put an attenuator at the input and an amplifier at the output.the output.

In addition, the unipolar output of the MSS is In addition, the unipolar output of the MSS is turned into a bipolar signal.turned into a bipolar signal.(the amplifier kills the 2.5v DC)(the amplifier kills the 2.5v DC)

1. Saturation: Cuts to the signal to a max value whenever

crossing it.

2. Time stretch: Stretches the signal in time. (This is actually like freq. reduce)

3. DC: Applies a DC value of choice. (e.g. Vrms or peak of the original signal).

4.4. Division: Divides the signal (letting the user choose the

factor is an option..)

5. Filter.
