microcontroller+code suggestions

[slogin5]

Hi,
A part of my project consists of receiving an analog ac signal and my goal is to create a bpf to detect only signals in the 2-10Hz frequency range and write their time to memory.
So,can anyone recommend a microcontroller with an a to d,a memory(flash) and a usb interface so i can read the memory with a pc?
Plus,does anyone have a good algorithm or a code for such a bpf in c or any other language,mine is a bit complicated.
Thanks.

you can you PIC18F4550, 8 bits microcontroller, it consists 102 KSps 10 bits 16 channel A/D, full speed USB 2.0 interface and internal memory of 32KB, USB firmware is ready from Microchip corpopration under the name "Microchip USB framewok for PIC18F and PIC24F".
the BPF technique i think you should know, hope you don't need to much floating point units cause they are not much inside this microcontroller , if this PIC didn't work with you then you can use microcontroller from dsPIC family like dsPIC30F4011/4012 but this type doesn't contain USB interface.
good luck

Hi,
I am new to microcontrollers and want to design a system that also has Usb and flash.
I will only need about 30k data memory for storing information from a sensor for about a week,is it possible to write to the flash program memory in a battery powered device(without any programmers or pc,the pic recieves the data and writes it)?If so,how power hungry is it?
If no,how do I interface the pic usb to an external flash memory so I can read it with a PC using the PIC's usb channel?
The microcontroller I can get is PIC18F87J50 family or PIC18F4550,will it suit me?
Thank you.

from the first sight I think PIC18F4550 is suitable but I'm afraid of the 30K you need cause the firmware and some other processes will take size, if the PIC18F87J50 has a larger memory size then move to it or use external serial EEPROM with your design.
good luck
