摘要
This paper presents a design and implementation proposal for a real-time frequency measurement system for high-precision, multi-channel quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors using a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The key contribution of this work lies in the integration of a frequency measurement and mass resolution computation based on Global Positioning System (GPS) signals within a single FPGA chip, utilizing Input/Output Blocks to incorporate logic QCM oscillator circuits. The FPGA design enables parallel processing, ensuring accurate measurements, faster calculations, and reduced hardware complexity by minimizing the need for external components. As a result, a cost-effective and accurate multi-channel sensor system is developed, serving as a reconfigurable standalone measurement platform with communication capabilities. The system is implemented and tested using the FPGA Xilinx Virtex-6, along with multiple QCM sensors. The implementation on a Xilinx XC6VLX240T FPGA achieves a maximum frequency of 324 MHz and consumes a dynamic power of 120 mW. Notably, the design utilizes a modest number of resources, requiring only 188 slices, 733 flip-flops, and 13 IOBs to perform a double-channel sensor microbalance. The proposed system meets the precision measurement requirements for QCM sensor applications, exhibiting low measurement error when monitoring QCM frequencies ranging from 1 to 50 MHz, with an accuracy of 0.2 ppm and less than 0.1 Hz.
