Lookup table Sine Wave Generation

Sine Wave Generation using PIC 16f84A :

In this lesson, we 'll learn to use the PIC 16F84A to generate a sine wave signal using lookup table method .

These are pre-calculated values of a certain signal ( here will be a sine wave ) , then the signal is transmitted at execution time . You can consider this an inverse process of the digitization . At execution time, the signal is sent to the output port of the Microcontroller at the rate you determine. You then get the original signal.

Attached a text file that explains how I calculated the values.

The hardware circuit is very simple. It is called Resistor Ladder Network.

When you configure and run your program , you should get an output signal like this

You can get the circuit for Proteus ISIS 7 and the code from here.

If you need any help for configuring the simulator , check my older posts.
