An alternate processor for tms320f2812

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hello

I'm doing a PWM based project which requires the generation of 100 kHz reference wave and 400 kHz carrier wave.

I was told to use a DSP TMS320F2812 for this.

Due to the high price of the processor mentioned above, I'm looking for an alternative to fulfill my project requirement at a lesser price.

Can someone pls help me out?

Thanks in advance

    Do you need a sine wave? Or do you just need a square wave? How much precision do you need? You can precise square waves out of an arduino (ie atmega328p). Sine waves would require some other strategy. PWM implies you need square waves, I think.

     

    Using a DSP just for this is expensive overkill. You must have other requirements.

    I need both a sine and a square wave. I will be generating and using them for PWM them individually. But for the frequency range mentioned above, I need to find another processor other than a DSP. As for precision, I need a 10 V signal (variable at run time).

    There are specialized DDS frequency generators that will do this, or any other waveform that can be programmed.

     

    Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) & Modulators | RF / IF ICs | Analog Devices

     

    That may be cheaper than using a DSP. For example, the AD9831 is less than $7. You can probably get samples.
