| Abstract |
This paper presents the design of an intelligent front-end signal conditioning system for IR sensors. The system has been developed as an interface between a SePb IR sensor matrix and a TMS320C67x digital signal processor. The system architecture ensures its scalability so it can be used for sensors with different matrix sizes. It includes an integrator based signal conditioning circuit, a data acquisition converter block, and a FPGA based advanced control block that allows adapting acquisition speed and resolution to system requirements. During the design phase virtual instrumentation technologies proved to be a very valuable tool for prototyping when choosing the best A/D converter type for the application. Development time was cut off significantly due to the use of this technology |
