Convention Paper

A Programmable Signal Processing System

Authors: Salani, Steve; Smith, Dave

AES Convention 70 · Paper 1820 · October 1981

Abstract

A signal-processing system has been developed that provides all the benefits of conventional rack-mounted modular systems (compact size, flexibility, easy service and upgrade). In addition, a microprocessor-controlled programming system allows all control settings to be stored and recalled. A memory allocation system assures efficient use of the nonvolatile program memory. A proposed interface standard for controlling analog modules is presented, as well as several general computer control techniques, such as multiplexed sample-and-holds, operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs), multiplying digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and analog switching.
