Signal Conditioning<br />
Signal conditioning can be implemented using<br />
a band-pass filter to reject noise. Using an<br />
active filter, the signal can be conditioned<br />
to determine values. For details about filter<br />
design, refer to the Appendix.<br />
The signal at the output of the band-pass filter<br />
is sent to a phase-locked loop to generate<br />
a frequency-dependent voltage. The phaselocked<br />
loop must be configured so that the<br />
frequency of the look-in range matches the<br />
band-pass filter bandwidth. This signal is<br />
applied to an input of the analog-to-digital<br />
converter embedded on the MCU.<br />

LCD Display<br />
The MCU is responsible for processing<br />
the information acquired according to an<br />
algorithm and displaying the data on an<br />
LCD screen. <strong>Freescale</strong> provides 8-bit MCUs<br />
with embedded LCD controllers such as the<br />
MC9S08LL, MC9RS08LE, MC9RS08LA and<br />
MC9S08LC families. Ultra-low-power MCUs<br />
with LCD drivers are in the LL family. On the<br />
high end, consider Kinetis or Vybrid MCUs.<br />

K50 Measurement MCUs<br />
The K50 MCU family is pin, peripheral and<br />
software compatible with other Kinetis MCUs<br />
and provides designers with an analog<br />
measurement engine consisting of integrated<br />
operational and transimpedance amplifiers<br />
and high-resolution ADC and DAC modules.<br />
The family also features IEEE 1588 Ethernet<br />
and hardware encryption, full-speed USB<br />
2.0 On-The-Go with device charger detect<br />
capability and a flexible low-power segment<br />
LCD controller with support for up to 320<br />
