Everything shown in this presentation runs on the Servenger Programmable Analog Module (PAM) Anadigm on a circuit board with clock, power supplies, connectors and input & output buffers. Serial port connection to AnadigmDesigner2 Accepts differential or single- ended inputs with selectable input impedances Input and output signals are referenced to GND. Stores downloads from AD2 in the on-board EEPROM for the “run from EEPROM” mode (don’t need to own a separate PROM burner)

Exercise: Build a Circuit that Filters and Rectifies a Signal Circuit will take a square wave input and output a bandpass filtered version of the signal and then a rectified version of the filtered signal This is a basic circuit that will show:  The frequency components of the square wave  The average DC value of the extracted component

Step 1: Set up a Biquadratic Band Pass Filter Open AnadigmDesigner2. Click on the green box to pop up the CAM selection window

Step 2: Place Biquadratic Filter in Chip Work Space Choose (double Click) from the list of CAMs a “FilterBiquad” Filter. (this is a two pole pole Filter) and set the dialog parameters as shown on the next page

Step 3: Set Biquadratic CAM parameters Step 1: set the Clock to 2000 kHz by moving the spinners Step 2: Select Band pass filter by clicking on the band pass radio button Step 3: Set Corner Frequency to 5 KHz, gain to 1.0 and Q to 15 Step 4: Click on OK to accept parameters

Step 4: Place a “RectifierFilter” CAM in the Work Space Choose (double Click) from the list of CAMs a “RectifierFilter” CAM. This is a rectifier with a combined single pole low pass filter. The combination of the filter and rectifier uses the same number of op amps as a rectifier alone eliminating the need for a separate filter. Please set parameters as shown on the next page

Step 5: Set parameters for the “RectifierFilter” Step 1: set the Clock to 2000 kHz by moving the spinners Step 2: Choose a non inverting Full wave rectifier. Note the other choices for future reference Step 3: Set Corner frequency to 100 KHz and gain to 1. Why 100 KHz? It lets through almost all the energy from the square wave, but blocks higher harmonics that may alias back Step 4: Click on OK to accept parameters

Step 6: Add an External Signal Generator Add a signal Generator by clicking on the sine wave on the tool bar and then place the signal generator here Next…. Double click on the signal generator to pop up the configuration window on the next page

Step 7: Configure signal generator And set Parameters as shown to create a 5Khz square wave Next….wire the circuit up

Step 8: Wire up the circuit Wire it up! 1)Just drag the mouse over to the contact or wire that you want to wire up 2) A wire tool graphic will appear and the contact will high light 3) Next, click the left mouse button Next….. Place oscilloscope probes

Step 9: Place Oscilloscope Probes Place Probes 1)Depress the probe tool icon on the tool bar (to the right of the sine wave) 2)Drag it near a contact and when the contact high lights, depress the left mouse button 3)Maintain the probe colors as shown in the picture so you can follow along Next….. Configure the Simulator

Step 10: Configure the Circuit Simulator Configure the simulator Click on the ‘Simulate’ tab on the tool bar and then choose the selection ‘Setup Simulation’ Configure the options as shown Next….. Run the simulator

Step 11: Run the Simulator Depress the “Sim” icon to run. Set time parameters as shown (in red). Extracted Fundamental of Square Wave Rectified Fundamental Input Square Wave 5Khz

Continuing the Exercises: Change to a bandstop filter to block rather than pass the fundamental frequency Simulate to see what a square wave looks like with its first harmonic blocked! Obtain average DC value of the rectified signal

Exercise: Set Biquadratic CAM parameters Step 1: set the Clock to 2000 kHz by moving the spinners (it should already be like this) Step 2: Select Band stop filter by clicking on the band pass radio button. This will block rather than pass the fundamental 5Khz signal Step 3: Set Corner Frequency to 5 KHz, DC gain to 1.0 and Q to 15 and HF Gain to 1 Step 4: Click on OK to accept parameters

Results: Run the Simulator Again Square Wave with Fundamental Blocked Rectified Version Input Square Wave 5Khz

Exercise: Build a filter with AnadigmFilter Open AnadigmDesigner with a blank workspace and select Anadigm filter icon Next…

Step 1: Design Filter Properties in AnadigmFilter
