Project Overview

For our Senior Design Project at Oregon State University we designed and built a digital storage oscilloscope. Our goal for the project was to create a functioning, portable, two channel digital storage oscilloscope. The project was built using the Cyclone V SoC FPGA on the Terasic DE1-SoC development board. The Cyclone V SoC combines an FPGA and ARM Hard Processor System(HPS) onto a single chip. We used the FPGA to control data acquisition and the HPS to analyze and display the data.

Project Goals

• To create a fully functioning and portable digital storage oscilloscope
• The scope included following
  • 2 channels
  • AC/DC coupling modes
  • x1/x10 attenuation
  • Adjustable time and voltage scales
  • Movable Cursors
  • Sampling rate of at least 10M samples/sec
  • Adjustable rising and falling edge trigger modes
  • Touch Screen Display
  • Battery Powered

Client

Our client is Don Heer, the instructor for the capstone class. Mr. Heer is a member of the professional faculty at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University. In addition, Mr. Heer is performing his Ph.D. research in the area of integrated sensor systems using nanotechnology.
