DAC Waveform Generation Guide

The document describes assembly programs to generate different waveforms using the on-chip digital to analog converter (DAC) of a microcontroller. It includes programs to generate square, sawtooth, triangular, and sine waves. For each waveform type, it provides the concept, a diagram showing the shape of the waveform, and the assembly code program to generate that waveform using the DAC. It initializes the DAC control register and pin mux, then uses loops to output binary values corresponding to voltage levels over time to shape the waveform.

Digital to Analog Converter

AIM: To use the on chip DAC to generate different waveforms.

Description:
Basic Operation of a DAC is to take a 10 bit binary value into analog voltage Aout which is
proportional to the reference voltage VREF.
where VREF=3.3V

Aout
DAC (P0.25)

0XE006C000 DACR

Once Aout is enabled, conversion can be started by writing into the value in the control
register (15:6)

Ex: 8.1
Write an assembly program to generate a Square Wave.

3.3V

tp

Hint:
Send a binary value, corresponding to each voltage level and then call a delay corresponding
to tp/2.

Program:
AREA SQUARE,CODE,READONLY
EXPORT __main
PINSEL1 EQU 0XE002C004
DACR EQU 0XE006C000

B DTOAP

END

Ex: 8.2
Write an assembly program to generate a Saw Tooth Waveform. Check the program for
different step values and observe the waveform.

2V

0
0 Tp 2Tp

Hint:
∆ = Step Value
N = Total number of Steps =
Step Delay = Tp/N
Step1- Load the binary value corresponding to 2V
Step2- Increment/Decrement the binary value in steps of ∆.
Step3- Call the Step Delay.
Step4- Repeat this till the voltage level is reached.
Step5- Repeat Step1.
