Generating a digital sine-wave (Read 3312 times)

mowiehowie Junior Member Offline Posts: 26	Generating a digital sine-wave Apr 04^th, 2009, 3:20am Hello I am testing a DAC design on Cadence and until now the digital inputs are given by a vector file. I wanna test the THD, so I need to generate a digital sine-wave. How could it be done? Thank you.

You can write a verilog code of memory that stores say 100 samples (memory size will be 100 X 8) of sine wave ( you can use matlab ) and import it in spectre as module. Hope, this will be useful.
