Der Waveform 3 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die einen Hochleistungssignalgenerator darstellt. Diese Platine verfügt über den AD9837, einen programmierbaren Wellenformgenerator mit geringem Stromverbrauch, der Sinus-, Dreieck- und Rechteckwellenausgänge von Analog Devices erzeugen kann. Dieser direkte digitale Synthesizer erzeugt beliebige analoge Wellenformen aus einem Referenztakt mit fester Frequenz. Er verfügt über eine softwareprogrammierbare Ausgangsfrequenz und -phase über eine 3-adrige SPI-Seriellschnittstelle und ist mit DSP-Standards kompatibel. Dieses Click Board™ eignet sich für die Wellenformerzeugung, die in verschiedenen Sensor-, Betätigungs- und Zeitbereichsreflektometrie-Anwendungen (TDR) erforderlich ist.
Das Waveform 3 Click Board™ wird durch eine mikroSDK-kompatible Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Waveform 3 Click Board™ Work?
The Waveform 3 Click Board™ is based on the AD9837, a fully integrated direct digital synthesis (DDS) device capable of producing high-performance sine and triangular wave outputs from Analog Devices. It also has an internal comparator that allows the creation of a square wave for clock generation. With 28-bits wide frequency registers, the output frequency and phase are software programmable allowing easy tuning. The AD9837 is fully capable of a broad range of complex and straightforward modulation schemes fully implemented in the digital domain, allowing the accurate and precise realization of complex modulation algorithms using DSP techniques.
The internal circuitry of the AD9837 consists of a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO), frequency and phase modulators, SIN ROM, a DAC, a comparator, and a regulator. Also, it has a high-performance, onboard 16MHz trimmed general oscillator that can serve as the master clock for the AD9837 achieving a resolution of 0.06Hz.
The AD9837 offers a variety of outputs available from an onboard output SMA connector. The various output options (sine, triangular, and square wave) available from the AD9837 make this Click board™ suitable for a wide variety of applications, including modulation applications. It is also ideal for signal generator applications, and with its low current consumption, it is also suitable for applications in which it can serve as a local oscillator.
The Waveform 3 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the 3-Wire SPI serial interface compatible with standard SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards, and operates at clock rates up to 40MHz. Besides, it possesses additional functionality such as a programmable Sleep function that allows external control of the Power-Down mode and Reset function, which resets the appropriate internal registers to 0 to provide an analogue output of mid-scale. It is essential to remind that the reset function does not reset the phase, frequency, or control registers.
The Waveform 3 Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
