DSP block diagram

Figure 2.2.11 shows a typical block diagram of the MRI transceiver used for the compact MRI system. The waveform generator can be replaced by the DA converter on the DSP board described in the previous section. Because the typical input/ output power level for the transmitter and from the preamplifier is about 1 mW, a commercially available transmitter and preamplifier are directly connected. 

The final mix card is last in the chain. It has the basic ( core ) DSP-16 circuitry found on all instrument cards. A block diagram is found below ... 

The BTL310 is a DSP machine designed by Bell Labs. A block diagram of the design is shown in Figure 8-7. The Bell Labs design for the architecture has 6 partitions that can all operate simultaneously a ROM, a RAM, an address unit (AU), a data unit (DU), an I/O unit, and a control unit (CU).
