Sine wave generating from PIC

Hello friends,

To do sinusoidal modulation you need sine wave which can be compared with high frequency carrier(triangular waves). And i was also about to generate Sine modulation so i needed to do this.


      You can generate by calculating sine values at run time also but that is time consuming and keeps your microcontroller busy with calculations only, so I suggest you to make a look up table  and recall the value at run time from there.

      So here is what I have done its a simple task just have a look at the code,....

const unsigned char wave[181] ={128,132,137,141,146,150,155,159,163,168,172,176,180,184,188,192,196,200,203,207,210

80,84,88,93,97,101,106,110,115,119,124,128};

int main(void)
{
TRISD = 0x00;
unsigned char i;

for(i=0;i<181 ;i++) {
PORTD = wave[i];
__delay_us(79);
}

return 0;
}

 But,here instead of using normal DAC to generate sine wave I have here used R-2R ladder(no specific reason).
Here is the schematic.

Here VSM Timer counter is used to measure the frequency generated by R-2R DAC. 


The output of the circuit is as shown below..

if you want to make frequency variable just keep a variable in delay and update it by any key.....
