Sine Function

SIN_X calculates the sine of an angle.

Overview

SIN_X calculates the sine of an angle. It has a fully pipelined architecture and uses fixed-point mathematics throughout. Input values are accepted as 16-bit unsigned values in the range 0 to π/2. Output values are 16-bit unsigned values in the range 0 to 1. For input values greater than π/2, the output saturates to 1.0. Both input and output values are in [16 15] format with 1 integer bit and 15 fraction bits. As an example the input value 0xC000 would signify the value 1.5.

Internally, the function uses a 2nd order polynomial of the form:

y = ax2 + bx + c

The coefficients a, b and c dynamically change with respect to the input value in order to generate a more accurate approximation. The output result is accurate to within 0.0002.

Values are sampled on the rising clock-edge of clk when en is high. The function has a 3 clock-cycle latency.
