8-Bit Waveform Generator (WaveDAC8)

Overview

General Description

Symbol Diagram

The WaveDAC8 component provides a simple and fast solution for automatic periodic waveform generation. A high-level interface allows you to select a predefined waveform or a custom arbitrary waveform. Two separate waveforms can be defined then selected with an external pin to create a modulated output. The input clock can also be used to change the sample rate or modulate the output.

Features

  • Supports standard and arbitrary waveform generation
  • Arbitrary waveform may be drawn manually or imported from file
  • Output may be voltage or current, sink or source
  • Voltage output can be buffered or direct from DAC
  • Hardware selection between two waveforms
  • Waveforms may be up to 4000 points
  • Predefined sine, triangle, square, and sawtooth waveforms
