Good day,

Generating sinusoidal signal with PWM it's a nice way. However
there is another methode, less accurate then say DDS, less accurate
than PWM generation but having a major advantage: it works on any PIC
and it may control two parameters of the sinusoidal signal: amplitude
and frequency. It requires two pic pins, one for generating the shape
(a rectangular signal having the same frequency like sinus must have,
followed by at least a third order low pass filter) and another pin
(a filtered software PWM) which gaves the amplitude of the signal.
Combining the amplitude with the frequency with an analogic
multiplexer and voilla a complete control of a sinusoidal signal.
Unfortunately it can't have the same frequency like DDS generation,
but definitely is less expensive.

best regards,

I think what he is talking about is a sign wave generated by a constantly changing PWM width then filtering it.

Usually, PWM describes a pulse - a square wave with a particular
frequency and duty cycle.  This is not at all related to a sine wave
(other than the sum of odd harmonics from the fundamental frequency
to daylight).

What, exactly, do you want the output to look like?

FWIW, you can do an 8 bit D2A conversion using one of the output
ports (maybe PORTB) and use a bunch of resistors to sum the voltages
from the various bits.  Look up R/2R ladders and such. Or just D to
A conversion.  Google can help.

Then you can use the PIC and a lookup function to determine how to
set the port outputs.

You will have to decide how many 'slices' to put in each cycle and
do the conversion at that frequency - many multiples of the desired
output frequency.  If the PIC can go that fast!

I'm assuming you want to generate a sine wave using PWM techniques
(followed by a low pass filter). Here are a few resources:

hai all

this is vijay from India
wishing you a happy day

i have a requirement to generate a Sine PWm using PIC 16f877.
can anybody help me in developing the logic
thanx in advance
