Abstract

A waveform generator was designed based on DDS (Direct digital frequency synthesis) and SOPC (System on a Programmable Chip). DDS technology is used to generate sine wave, square wave, triangular wave, amplitude modulation wave and other signals. Using VHDL and C programming, the DDS module and Nios II soft-core processor are integrated into the FPGA chip to enhance the expansibility. This design is verified by synthesis and simulation through Quartus II. Experiments show that output frequency range is 0 ~ 25.88 MHz, the voltage is 0 ~ 3.64 V, and the resolution reaches 0.5 Hz when the waveform has no significant distortion.
