*Q: Is square wave where the "Lo" time is always at "GND" OK?
 
*Q: If not, is a switch between "Lo is GND" vs. "Lo is negative Hi" OK? Or does "Lo" need to be independently controlled with another ADC?
 
*Q: Will people be connecting a speaker directly to the output, requiring a relatively high-power output [[op amp]] such as the LM386N-3 ?

Revision as of 01:30, 8 December 2008

ToDo

  • "Lo" time of DAC can also be set
  • modulation cct & PCb
    • Bias resistors for op-amp
    • crystal & SMD res. too close, easy to short when soldering
    • footprint of some chips are too small, enlarge it for easily soldering
    • some cct modification
      • modify the res. value


Objectives

  • The modulation module is used to deliver a digital output signal with the following characteristics:
    • Square wave
    • Variable frequency (0 - 10MHz)
    • Variable amplitude (0V - 2.5V)
  • interface to MCU which do the control


Software Solution

  • Timer Interrupt controlling I2C DAC can only achieve frequency response of about 500Hz
    • 5byte/cmd
    • 8bit/byte
    • baudrate = 400kHz
    • This yields 10kHz (0.1ms)
    • As OS context switch is 10ms, set timer to 1ms (1kHz), so that 0.9ms can be used to process other tasks
    • timer frequency of 1kHz yields a modulation frequency of 500Hz
  • Due to higher freq. response requirement, so using hardware to implement the clock


Hardware Solution

Overall Performance

  • I2C Baudrate: 400kHz
  • Output Voltage Range: 0 - 3.3V
  • Output Frequency Range: 0 - 10MHz
  • Number of channels: 4
