Change frequency

Hi MRD18 ,

Registers 0x3E and 0x3F is for configuring the DDS Tuning Word, which is one of the waveform selections for each DAC output. To output from DDS, configure registers 0x26 (WAV4_3CONFIG) and 0x27 (WAV2_1CONFIG) registers to prestored waveform - DDSx output. For example, if you will output the DDS frequency to DAC1, set the value of register 0x27 to 0x31 (Prestored waveform, DDS1 output). More details can be found in page 26-27 and page 50 of the datasheet. 

Regards,

Marco

Hey i am using following value to generate the sawtooth frequency but frequency is same and i want to know that should i generate sqaure wave with changing values, If yes please help me with example or tutorial.

uint16_t Valu[]={0x0000,0x0E00,0x0000,0x0000,0x4000,0x4000,0x4000,0x4000,0x0000,0x1F00,0x1F00,0x1F00,0x1F00,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x000E,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x1212,0x1232,0x0121,0xFFFF,0x0101,0x0101,0x0003,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x4000,0x4000,0x4000,0x4000,0x1011,0x0600,0x0036,0x9D00,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x0000,0x07D0,0x0000,0x0000,0x0001,0x03E8,0x0000,0x0000,0x0100,0x03E8,0x0000,0x0000,0x0001,0x0FA0,0x0000,0x0000,0x16FF,0x0004,0x0001,0x0001};

Hi MRD18 ,

To generate sawtooth waveforms, there are 2 options: (a) use the on-chip sawtooth generator or (b) use the on-chip SRAM.

If you want to use option a, refer to FAQ17 in AD9106 / AD9102 Low-Power DAC and Waveform Generator: FAQs


If you want to use option b, refer to FAQ 10 in AD9106 / AD9102 Low-Power DAC and Waveform Generator: FAQs

Hey thanks for the reply. I already generated sawtooth waveform with the on-chip sawtooth generator, but the thing is i am not able to change its frequency with desired frequency  .

I make change in 0x26 and 0x27 for sawtooth frequency and i get it but help me with the way so i can reach at my goal  and should i generate sqaure wave with AD9106 .

You also need to change values of registers 0x28, 0x29 and 0x37 to change the frequency of the sawtooth waveform.

If you need to generate a square waveform, you may also refer to FAQ10.

Hey 

1. I want to generate square wave using DAC AD9106. frequency should be 10 KHz to 10 MHz. Is it possible ? and If yes how.

2. I want to generate sawtooth wave form using DAC AD9106 with frequency up to 10 MHz. I have generated sawtooth waveform but cannot go above 18KHz. Please help me.

Thanks
