Algo for rms computation?

ggabe
ggabe over 2 years ago

I’m entertaining a true rms computation on MSPM0G3507 for the 10Hz…100KHz range. 

The MCU is limited to 32K RAM, so I’d change the sampling frequency if I can determine the signal is periodic and in the lower frequency range.

Is there any algorithm that aims capture N periods of a periodic signal? 

Should I be better of by going into frequency domain with a proper window function, and possibly trying multiple sampling rates to choose the proper range?

    What's wrong with: sample (at 500kHz) s square (at 500kHz) sq = s * s mean (at 500kHz) m = m + ( (sq - m) / Ki) square root (at read out rate) rms = m ^ 0.5 Division by a constant can be done…

    Yes, it is interesting. TI is selling the EVB for $16 direct. The part is very much a new item, TI is not sampling it yet. The accelerator is cool, but not as advanced as the MSP430's LEA. The benefit…

    I think the algorithm with Ki used to be referred as exponential decay averaging. The alternative, the moving averaging has a sensitivity when the weight of the partial periods start to influence the average…

    Interesting chip!

    I didn't see the cycle counts for the math co-processor but it looks interesting.

    If the TI part piqued your interest then there is STM32G431. It has single precision float, CORDIC and FMATH accelerators, imo better than IT's offering. 

    Cordic features

    • 24-bit CORDIC rotation engine

    • Circular and Hyperbolic modes

    • Rotation and Vectoring modes

    • Functions: Sine, Cosine, Sinh, Cosh, Atan, Atan2, Atanh, Modulus, Square root, Natural logarithm

    • Programmable precision up to 20-bit

    • Fast convergence: 4 bits per clock cycle

    • Supports 16-bit and 32-bit fixed point input and output formats

    • Low latency AHB slave interface

    • Results can be read as soon as ready without polling or interrupt

    • DMA read and write channels

    FMAC features

    • 16 x 16-bit multiplier

    • 24+2-bit accumulator with addition and subtraction

    • 16-bit input and output data

    • 256 x 16-bit local memory

    • Up to three areas can be defined in memory for data buffers (two input, one output), defined by programmable base address pointers and associated size registers

    • Input and output sample buffers can be circular

    • Buffer “watermark” feature reduces overhead in interrupt mode

    • Filter functions: FIR, IIR (direct form 1)

    • AHB slave interface

    • DMA read and write data channels

    What I liked about the TI part is that it's so cheap !

    I have  a project for a client in mind where it's a prefect fit (and the cheapness matters).

    I've ordered a couple of the eval boards.

    True! And it has one extra ENOB on the ADC specs, as TI boldly points out.

    What I also like about the TI EVB is the SMPS is implemented with software loop control. Allows exact power consumption measurement.

    Your bandwidth isn't too far off audio

    image

    I wonder what some of the spare no expense sound level meters do, presumably all of the analysis is done in the digital domain, with perhaps a programable LNA up front...

    Wish the teardown photos were higher resolution, lol
