Just thinking here about making a 60M0 Hz oscillator and
phase locking it to the 10M0 reference. Then divide the
60M0 by 1e6. Youve got a perfectly locked 60 Hz square
wave.
For low harmonic 60 Hz sine wave one can go for 480 Hz
to start a Walsh -Hadamard converter. Take 60M0 divide
by 125 (easy with a binary counter) then divide by 1000.
Result is 480 Hz. Take the 480 Hz and build the output
stage with a DG201 CMOS switches (or similar) and
a couple of opamps. Result is very low harmonic perfectly
locked 60 Hz signal ready to drive an audio amplifier.

On the other hand, it would not be difficult to make a DDS which

10000000 exactly. Reducing it by 20 on each side you get 3/500000
so a 19
bit accumulator (mod 500000) incrementing with 3 on every 100 ns
period
would do it.
Neat. Thanks.
I'd noticed that adding in decimal rather than binary would make
exact target
frequencies in some cases, but I hadn't generalized to adding modulo N.
Using N of 10,000,000 with a 10 MHz clock gets you all exact integer
frequencies in the audio range.
Which was my main point... it doesn't have to be THAT complex. A
500000 entry LUT is however expensive.
A LUT for sine would be possible. Playing a few tricks with the LUT
table
(realizing that the LUT would be walked through three times with three
different start-alignments) converts it into a LUT of the same size
and a
increment by one or decrement by one counter modulus 500000. A
decrement by
one counter allows wrap-around loading with 499999 easy. CPLD or
CMOS/TTL
implementations would be trivial for the counter. The LUT will be
large...
More neat. Thanks again. It's just a simple state machine cycling
through
some collection of states.
Exactly. It really helps when trying to understand spurious response.
A DDS has a large number of states and for most frequencies, all
states will be visited before looping. A 32-bit DDS clocked at 10 MHz
wraps in 429.4967296 s. Half the possible settings will wrap quicker
(at various power of 2 variants).
If we are willing to rearrange the LUT/ROM, we can simplify the next
state
calculation from a modulo adder to a re-loadable counter.
Which is what I propose above.
Cheers,
Magnus
