February 16, 2006[Ideas For Design] µP-Controlled Oscillator Delivers Rock-Bottom Distortion
Function generators often play a critical role in the design, testing, and operation of encoders, modulators, demodulators, and measurement instruments. Here's an inexpensive way to build a bus-controlled sinewave oscillator that has downright low distortion. The circuit generates a sinusoidal output with typical second and third harmonics down from the fundamental by -76.1 and -74.2 dB, respectively, across its full output range of 10 Hz to 10 kHz. That performance represents...
