New to DSP

[Ridin '24'z]

Hi, I've been looking into building a digital signal processor for about 6 months now, however, I do not have much knowledge on digital devices. My aim is to build a 7.1 audio processor with basic high pass/low pass and reverb functions to begin with but with lots of room for expansion.

The following: TAS3108, 8 Channel Audio DSP from TI.

I've looked into, as well as the evaluation board which is priced at $400, however I do not wish to make a such large purchase without enough background knowledge first.

I've also looked at the following threads, and a DIY option also seems interesting.

I'd like to learn how I would go about understand these and programming these before I go any further.

Does anyone know where I could start learning about these, and if anyone knows of any other packages that I could possibly use?

Hi,

I was interested in doing some DSP also. I had been looking into the Analog Devices SigmaDSP line. It uses a graphical compiler, so you don't actually have to write any code. I haven't figured out yet if it will be exactly what I was looking for, but its seems like a good way to get into DSP without knowing a ton about it. If you email them, they will send you a trial copy of the Sigma Studios compiler to try out. The AD1940 and AD1941 look especially interesting as they support up to 16 channels and 192kHz at 24 bit.

Hopefully this is useful. Good luck.

Thanks for the link, I looked into it but I've desided to stick with the TAS3108.

I've found the following to intigrate into my design:

PCM1730E - DAC
TAS3108 - DSP
PCM1804 - ADC
dsPIC30F6014 - Processor

I've studied the datasheets and been able to join the parts together, however there are a few bits I'm unsure about:

Can I provide an analog input straight into the ADC, the datasheet shows an OP Amp from the input to the ADC will this be required if a phono input is used?

How will i provide a clock to all devices? Will a single oscillator circuit be able to support all devices?

How would I connect the Bit Clock, System Clock functions on the ADC/DAC?

The processor I still have yet to put together, I will do this soon.

As far as I know I've placed the main building blocks correctly, but I'm not sure if I've missed out any vital parts. I've attached images of my design into a zip file, sorry for the hand drawn diagrams.

Thanks .

I am interested in this DSP, please send me more info PM

use pll or dll device to generate clocks.

I would like a DSP with:
PCM1730E - DAC or PCM1794/pcm1798
TAS3108 - DSP
PCM1804 - ADC
dsPIC30F6014 - Processor

I have nothing designed, I can use pll or dll device to generate clocks.

SI sent me a schematic and firmware I can ride a prototype and test.
