Triggered DDS pulse generator architecture

摘要

A triggered DDS generator architecture accumulates a phase increment value in response to a DDS clock to generate phase accumulator values for addressing a waveform lookup table which contains a desired output signal. A time measurement circuit determines a time interval between the arrival of a trigger signal and a subsequent cycle of the DDS clock, which time interval is used to either adjust an initial phase accumulator value or delay the DDS clock so that a constant time is maintained between the arrival of the trigger signal and the desired output signal.
