System-on-Chip architecture for high-speed data acquisition in visible light communication system

On this paper, we present results of our research in system-on-chip architecture for digital data acquisition in visible light communication. The objective of this research is to design data acquisition architecture for signal with high speed frequency using system-on-chip based design. The designed system is divided into two subsystems, hardware layer and software layer. All of the hardware resources are implemented on ZYNQ-7000 System-on-Chip, whereas the software is implemented using Xilinx API to establish connection to PC through UDP-based Ethernet connection. The implemented design has been proven to be able to perform high speed data acquisition for certain frequency sampling and able to transmit data to PC for data processing and displaying.
