How to create a sine wave with verilog ?

verilog sine wave

Anyone can tell me how to create a sine wave with verilog ? thanx !

verilog sin

Do you want to make sine wave for the test bench or do you want to make a circuit which generates sine wave?
For the test bench you can make a look up table. If you want to make a digital circuit then try making a pwm generator.

Not possible.. You can use CORDIC algorithm if u just want the sine/cosine values corresponding to an angle..

If you use sine wave to do simulation, you can use pli to achieve it

verilog sine generator

Here is the code ur looking for I am posting it here one more time!
Hope this helps!

verilog sin cos

Verilog-A maybe solve your problem.

Hi, nand_gates

Could you paste your waveform? I don't think that it can bring the sine wave.

Thanks

Hi,nand_gates
what simulation tools should be used to create sine
wave with ur code?

verilog sine cos

If you want to generate sin stimulus in a testbench, you can create sin wave in other tools such as matlab or SPW then write out the data to a file ,finally reading the file in testbench written in verilog.

sine wave using verilog

Any simulation tool will do!
The trick here is the generated sine output is in two's complement
integer format or its signed integer. To conver it into unsigned you
will have to invert the msb.
If you are using modelsim wave form viewer you can change the format
of wave to signed integer analog you will see sine wave....

you can create a sine wave with DDS technology,

for detail, please visit <www.analog.com> and search DDS.

generating sine wave in vhdl

nand_gates! please tell me the code theory?i never had understanded it!

verilog generate sine wave

Another way: using the Taylor expansion coefficients of sin and cosine, for DDS which is basically same idea as using matlab, you need more tools and hence extra complexity.

Question: Can we use Verilog-AMS for this sort of tasks? or even System-C?

Here is my result for easy implement sinewave, including control

[1] Frequency (phase Step)
[2] Phase offset

you try to make a look up table considering the values for a sine wave and store it in its internal RAM.. i hope u got..

I found the nice code by nand_gates here. So thank you!
The code works fine, but unfortunately I'm too stupid to discover what is happening inside it.
Can anyone explain this code in more details? Please!!!
What is the main idea in the algorithm?
What if I want to change the bit width for example?

Warmly thanks for any explanation!

Whats is being done in the code is 'signed magnitude extension'. This is done by appending digits to the most significant side of the number.

If you want to increase the width then you should be extending the MSB instead of 7 (which is the MSB in this case).

can you use lookup table to create?

It's a second order difference equation acting as an oscillator with zero dampening.
In the present case, a is 1/8. It can be basically changed to higher magnitude resolution and lower frequency (=higher phase resolution), but depending on truncation effects, it possibly won't give an exactly periodic output for all a values. I fear, you get a decaying oscillation for some a codings. A correction term (of course disturbing the ingenious simple original design look) could help. Just try.

As the design is effectively rotating a complex vector, it's also related to CORDIC.
