I would suggest you visit the Microchip web site, most PIC devices have PWM generators in them as standard. I think my first choice would be the PIC18F1320 because it is very low cost and already has a four-phase PWM generator built in to it. This means you can produce the drive signal to all the FETs (using IR2110 to shift the voltage levels) directly by setting some values in PIC registers. It will allow you to produce any on/off ratio between 0% and 100%, all you have to do is produce the sine wave in software or use a look-up table of sine levels then send them to the PWM register in time to modulate at the right frequency. The PIC also has several ADC channels which you can use to stabilize the output or monitor the load.
The data sheet and free assembler are at Microchip Technology Inc. is a Leading Provider of Microcontroller and Analog Semiconductors, providing low-risk product development, lower total system cost and faster time to market for thousands of diverse customer applications worldwide. where you will also find trial versions of 'C' compilers which should be adequate to complete this task without having to buy a full version.
Incidentally, I am using a similar PIC to generate speech using PWM so low frequency power AC signals should be no problem!

You are re-opening an old thread.
You might be able to use an SG3524 to generate a sine wave but it isn't intended to be used that way.
That device is intended for normal SMPS designs where the intention is to produce a stable DC output. It might be possible to modulate it's reference input to make a sine output but as stated before, a H-Bridge PWM system will be simpler and more efficient.

but the circuit shown in the link **broken link removed** is completely made of ic's... it's a bit difficult to make... i have heard that there is another method to do this...ie. first converting the low voltage DC to low voltage AC and then using a transformer to step up the low AC voltage to high (230V) ac... can i get that circuit?
Brian,
it tells to me : file not found ( error 404 ).

I have already posted this thread to the Power Electronics section. But I cant find a way to send you the schematic diagrams without showing it to everybody else. So I decide to show it here. This circuit below is suppose to be connected to a MOSFET fullbridge via IR2110. But as it turned out, it doesn't work as intended, so please tell me how should I make it work.
