🔹 Optimizing for a Compact UT Data Logger with a 7" Touchscreen

Since your UT Data Logger needs high-speed signal processing while fitting into a compact enclosure, I recommend a Zynq-based FPGA SoC for real-time data acquisition and processing, paired with a Raspberry Pi 5 for the user interface.

🔹 Updated Hardware Recommendation for a Compact System

Component Recommended Part Why?
FPGA SoC Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (ZCU104) Combines FPGA + ARM Cortex-A53, eliminating STM32 and improving speed.
High-Speed ADC ADS54J60 (500 MSPS, 14-bit, Dual-Channel) Meets 3.6 ns resolution requirement.
Touchscreen Display 7" Raspberry Pi Touchscreen Compact UI for real-time visualization & data management.
Raspberry Pi 5 For UI & Data Storage Handles data logging, visualization, and UI interaction.
Compact Enclosure Custom 3D-Printed Case or Aluminum Box Ensures portability and durability.

🔹 System Integration Plan

1️⃣ Zynq FPGA SoC

  • Captures 277 MSPS ADC data.
  • Processes ToF, FFT, and filtering in real-time.
  • Transfers structured data to Raspberry Pi 5 via Ethernet/USB/SPI.

2️⃣ Raspberry Pi 5 + 7" Touchscreen

  • Displays real-time waveforms & analysis.
  • Manages data storage & logging.
  • Provides user interface for parameter adjustments.

3️⃣ Compact Enclosure Design

  • Power-efficient components for enclosed operation.
  • Proper ventilation for FPGA heat dissipation.
  • Battery-powered option for field testing (optional).

🔹 Next Steps

✅ Would you like a new block diagram for the compact system?
✅ Do you need recommendations for power management & enclosure design?
✅ Would you like a UI mockup for the 7” touchscreen interface?
