Overview
The Sine Wave Frequency Generator is a time and frequency aligned sine wave frequency generator allowing any frequency to be generated between 1Hz and 200kHz adjustable in 1Hz steps. It uses the vendor's Adjustable Clock core as source for source synchronous frequency generation. It provides either a parallel DAC interface or a serial highly configurable SPI interface to access a DAC.
The IP core comes with a Linux Driver (the same driver as for the Frequency Generator)
Key features
- Configurable frequency signal generation (1-200kHz (depends on DAC sampling rate))
- Configurable polarity (positive or negative zero crossing and PPS boundary)
- Output delay compensation
- Alignment of the frequency generator to an input time (frequency and phase)
- Automatic realigning of the frequency generator on time jumps and frequency changes
- Continuous generation until disabled
- Configurable DAC Sample width
- Configurable DAC Sampling rate
- Optional DAC Sample scaling
- Optional DAC Sample offset
- SPI DAC Controller
- AXI4Lite register set or static configuration

Benefits
Generating
- Frequency aligned with NetTimeLogic’s Clock (frequency and phase at second crossing)
- Output delay compensation takes also external delays like DAC, SPI, RC into account
- Configurable DAC Data width
- Configurable DAC Sampling rate
- Optional Scaling and DC Offset
- Auto phase realignment on time jumps
Performance
- Output signal max frequency is ~200kHz at 2MSPS DAC sam-pling
Portability
- Vendor independent, written in plain VHDL
- Low footprint and low frequency requirements
Modularity and scalability
- Simple time format can be also sourced by third-party clock core Slim and standardized interfaces are used
