Waveform 4 Click Board
Waveform 4 Click Board
The Waveform 4 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that represents a high-performance signal generator. This board features the AD9106, a quad-channel, 12-bit, 180MSPS waveform generator, integrating on-chip static random access memory (SRAM) and direct digital synthesis (DDS) for complex waveform generation from Analog Devices. The DDS is up to a 180 MHz master clock sinewave generator with a 24-bit tuning word allowing 10.8 Hz/LSB frequency resolution. It has a single frequency output and independent programmable phase shift outputs for each of the four integrated DACs. Besides, the integrated SRAM data can include directly generated stored waveforms, accessed using the serial peripheral interface, amplitude modulation patterns applied to DDS outputs, or DDS frequency tuning words.
The Waveform 4 Click Board™ generates the high-speed, high-dynamic-range, multichannel complex waveforms required in applications such as ultrasound transducer excitation, medical instrumentation, portable instrumentation, signal generators, and arbitrary waveform generators.
Software Support
We provide a library for the Waveform 4 Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe Github account.
Library Description
This library contains API for the Waveform 4 Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
-
waveform4_set_frequency
This function sets the sine and cosine (DDS) waves output frequency. -
waveform4_set_gain
This function sets the gain level of a desired channel. -
waveform4_set_wave_output
This function sets a desired output signal wave to the selected channel.
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of the Waveform 4 Click Board™.
void application_task ( void )
{
uint8_t command = 0;
if ( log_read ( &logger, &command, 1 ) > 0 )
{
waveform4_parse_command ( command );
}
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe Github account.
Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.Waveform4
Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
MIKROSDK
The Waveform 4 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
