GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AD59301 is a waveform generator with programmable
frequency sweep and output burst capability. Utilizing
embedded digital processing that allows enhanced frequency
control, the device generates synthesized analog or digital
frequency-stepped waveforms. Because frequency profiles
are preprogrammed, continuous write cycles are eliminated
and thereby free up valuable DSP/μcontroller resources.
Waveforms start from a known phase and are incremented
phase continuously, which allows phase shifts to be easily
determined. Consuming only 8 mA, the AD5930 provides a
convenient low power solution to waveform generation.
The AD5930 can be operated in a variety of modes. In
continuous output mode, the device outputs the required
frequency for a defined length of time and then steps to the
next frequency. The length of time the device outputs a
particular frequency is either preprogrammed and the device
increments the frequency automatically, or, alternatively, is
incremented externally via the CTRL pin. In burst mode, the
device outputs its frequency for a length of time and then
returns to midscale for a further predefined length of time
before stepping to the next frequency. When the MSBOUT pin
is enabled, a digital output is generated.
