Low Frequency Sine Wave Synthesizer

low frequency synthesizer circuit

The generation of low frequency is generally accomplished with an RC oscillator. The techniques recently developed for frequency synthesis can now be used conveniently with very precise low frequencies required. A low-frequency sine-wave synthesizer well demonstrates accuracy and stability characteristics that can be measured in part per million (even at 0.01 Hz) if it is crystal controlled. Circuit Description of Low Frequency Sine Wave Synthesizer The synthesizer in figure 1 is based on an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter IC AD7523 (IC5) which presents a precise triangle wave to the timing of a…
