Sine Wave Generator

Application Scope

The SIN16 module serves as a 16-bit programmable Sine Wave Generator with a galvanically isolated serial interface. The galvanic isolation is provided via multi-channel high-speed couplers. The module is programmable as to frequency, amplitude, and offset.     

Feature Highlights

The 16-bit SIN16 module is provided with the following components and features:

  • 32-bit DDS AD 9832 to adjust the frequency (external clock)
  • Internal Sine look-up table
  • 16-bit precision DAC LTC 1596 to set the gain (amplitude)
  • 16-bit precision DAC AD 5542 to set the offset
  • Gain and offset can be set independently
  • I2C bus for sampling the current module temperature via the built-in LM 92 temperature sensor
  • I2C EEPROM of type 24 LCS 52 for writing module-specific data to memory (max. 2 KB)
  • Two 1 Watt thermal resistors for quickly obtaining operating temperature; heating can be controlled either externally via pin #36 or internally via the programmable LM92 temperature sensor
  • Rugged metal case with a pin output layout according to the DIL 40 standard (two DIL 40 cases in parallel)
