function generator

[hsvjap]

Hello all,
Iam new to this community.i am doing my final year engg proj on fpga.Sythesizable function generator. i have written the codes for sine wave generation,wat must be included to vary the frequency. can someone help me in generating square and triangular wave with variable frequency.
plz mail me at

Thanks in advance.

Should be the easy part

Hi
You properly use a counter to generate the sinus?

If you take the most significant bit of this counter will you have a "square wave".

The counter itself could be a sawtooth wave.

lets say the counter 8 bits. b7..b0
then take <b6..b0> directly if b7=0
if b7=1 then calculate output as 128-<b6..b0>
and voula - you got a triangle wave.

Hi again
In general can you only get multipla of the max frequency like:

50MHz/2 = 25 MHz
50MHz/3 = 16.67 MHz
...
50MHZ/1000 = 50 kHz
etc

But if you could include an external variable frequency could you get a "true" variable frq.

As for the scale -
Check this example

hi,

i got the idea of square wave generation, m thankful to jeppe who gave me the idea..
I would lik to know , how to vary the frequency of the generated waves.
like from one range to other.
code is to be dumped on fpga.

my sine wave codes are

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.numeric_std.all;
use work.sine_package.all;

entity sine_wave is
port( clock, reset, enable: in std_logic;
wave_out: out sine_vector_type);
end;

architecture arch1 of sine_wave is
type state_type is ( counting_up, change_down, counting_down, change_up );
signal state, next_state: state_type;
signal table_index: table_index_type;
signal positive_cycle: boolean;
begin

process( clock, reset )
begin
if reset = '1' then
state <= counting_up;
elsif rising_edge( clock ) then
if enable = '1' then
state <= next_state;
end if;
end if;
end process;

process( state, table_index )
begin
next_state <= state;
case state is
when counting_up =>
if table_index = max_table_index then
next_state <= change_down;
end if;
when change_down =>
next_state <= counting_down;
when counting_down =>
if table_index = 0 then
next_state <= change_up;
end if;
when others => -- change_up
next_state <= counting_up;
end case;
end process;

process( clock, reset )
begin
if reset = '1' then
table_index <= 0;
positive_cycle <= true;
elsif rising_edge( clock ) then
if enable = '1' then
case next_state is
when counting_up =>
table_index <= table_index + 1;
when counting_down =>
table_index <= table_index - 1;
when change_up =>
positive_cycle <= not positive_cycle;
when others =>
-- nothing to do
end case;
end if;
end if;
end process;

process( table_index, positive_cycle )
variable table_value: table_value_type;
begin
table_value := get_table_value( table_index );
if positive_cycle then
wave_out <= std_logic_vector(to_signed(table_value,sine_vector_type'length));
else
wave_out <= std_logic_vector(to_signed(-table_value,sine_vector_type'length));
end if;
end process;

end;

PLz could anyone help me in including the code of variable frequency
square and triangular wave.

hi,


the sinewave package is as follows..for the sine wave generator on fpga

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

package sine_package is

constant max_table_value: integer := 127;
subtype table_value_type is integer range 0 to max_table_value;

constant max_table_index: integer := 127;
subtype table_index_type is integer range 0 to max_table_index;

subtype sine_vector_type is std_logic_vector( 7 downto 0 );

function get_table_value (table_index: table_index_type) return table_value_type;

end;

package body sine_package is

function get_table_value (table_index: table_index_type) return table_value_type is
variable table_value: table_value_type;

how to genarate variable frequency signal.

plz if anyone knows , kindly post it..

thanks
