Hi. If i generate a sine wave signal(Full Scale - 24bit - 5Vpp) using the altera NCO, how to generate a 0.8902 Vpp sine wave? thanks
If you are already able to generate the full scale signal, you will have to scale down the full scale value by multiplying it with a factor of 0.17804. Because thats not the easiest task to build in hardware, its more convenient to multiply it with a value eg. 2917 and divide it by 16384 = 2^14. Another pair of values with less error is a multiplication with 5974013 divided by 33554432 = 2^25. But here you should have a close look for the implementation because the AD value is 24 bits, plus the downscale is 25 bits, therefore you will need a intermediate result with 49 bits.
How do u get the number of 2917 and 16384? Actually i want to generate a sine waveform with adjustable amplitude.
> How do u get the number of 2917 and 16384? Take the 0.17804 and multiply it by 2, repeat this until the fractional digits are 0. Count the multiplications. In case of 2917 it took 14 multiplications to get 2917,00736. So the resulting factor is 2917/16384 = 0.178039550781. This causes an error of 2.5e-6, which is 42 LSB of 24 bits. So this isn't enought accuracy for a 24 bit DAC. You will have to increase the accuracy at least by the factor 2^6 = 64, so the next matching number will be 5974013/2^25 = 0.178039461374. > Actually i want to generate a sine waveform with adjustable amplitude. Multiply the output with a value of 0...65535 and divide the result by 2^16. this will give you a resolution of 16 bit in the output amplitude.
