This paper describes a new approach in sine-amplitude approximation for sine-output direct digital frequency synthesizers, which provides an initial guess much closer to the target sine amplitude than previous approximations. Another important advantage of the proposed idea is that it can be simply implemented using full-digital circuitry. Gate-and transistor-level simulations demonstrate the feasibility of the idea, and the simulation results are in complete agreement with the experimental results for the implemented test architecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
