Hi,
I am trying to develop a standalone application. I may need to store as many as 1000 samples in 1s for 60s. Also, I may need to process this set of data by doing a FFT before displaying on a LCD.
Could anyone share with me if the C8051F206 is sufficient or I need to evaluate DSP or other processors? Any low power MCU to recommend as the device is to be portable ?
Thank you for your inputs.
Yes, FFTs have been done on 8051s - but, as Per says, you haven't given nearly enough detail to say whether these are sufficient to your requirements.
There are probably ARM-based controllers at a similar price to the C8051F206 that wouldn't suffer from the inherent 8051 architecture limitations (eg, 64K data space)
