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…

    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

    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

    Oh and also a neat chip!
