reference design digitally controlled sine wave generator


Posted on Feb 6, 2014

The circuit of Figure 1 produces an accurate variable-frequency sine wave for use as a general-purpose reference signal. It includes an 8th-order elliptic, switched-capacitor lowpass filter (IC3) that is clocked with a 100kHz square wave generated by microcontroller IC2. (Any other convenient squarewave source is also acceptable. ) The microcontrol

ler is clocked by a 10MHz oscillator module. A voltage supervisor (IC1) ensures correct operation in the event of a power failure. IC3 sets the filter`s cutoff frequency at 1/100 the clock frequency. The 8th-order elliptic filter`s sharp rolloff sharply reduces the harmonic amplitudes in a 1kHz square-wave input, thereby producing a near-perfect 1kHz sine wave at its output. Using divider-chain logic or a processor, you can then create a digitally adjustable sine-wave source by adjusting the clock and input frequencies while maintaining a ratio of 100:1 between them. To prevent clipping at the positive and negative peaks, attenuate the input signal and superimpose it on a dc level of VCC/2. The result (for a 5V input) is a 2. 25V peak-to-peak output.
