Numerically controlled oscillator using quadrant replication and function decomposition

摘要

A numerically controlled oscillator wherein only one quadrant of a sinusoidially shaped wave is stored in a read-only-memory and the address of the read-only-memory is generated so that the entire numerically controlled oscillator and the read-only memory are contained on a single semiconductor chip. The data required to reproduce the quadrant is stored in a decomposed format so as to reduce the size of the read-only-memory.
