Electrocardiogram (ECG) application operation

Electrocardiogram (ECG) application operation

Performed By: Ran GelerMor Levy

Instructor: Moshe Porian

Project Duration: 2 Semesters

Spring 2012

IntroductionThe heart is a muscular organ

that beats in rhythm to pump blood through the body

By analyzing the heart behavior and especially the electrical impulses we can help identify heart diseases and special circumstance that require

close monitoring

Project OverviewProject focus

Project GoalsDesign and implement a communication

interface between a PC to an ECG board using a FPGA.

Implement a simulation component to PCB board behavior for tests.

Learn how to integrate Multi Platforms elements◦ECG DB with FPGA

Build an interactive GUI with debugger abilities.

Methodic project

Top Architecture

ECG FSMControls the flow of data between

the host and the DBThree Main chain of actions:

◦Read Data◦Read Registers◦Write Registers

ADS1298R ECG DBFPGA Architecture design suited

to Texas Instruments ADS1298R board.

Arrived to the High Speed Digital Systems Lab

DB MockingWe have implemented a component to

imitate the Texas Instruments ADS1298R Chip behavior.

The Mocking component is capable ofsaving 26 configuration registers values.

Extracting \ writing data from a sequence ofregisters in a burst.

Simulate a continues samples reading (RDATAC mode).

GUI – Flash mode
