Occasionally I need to generate custom wave forms and burst a known number of cycles
into a DUT.
This is a single chip solution, board I typically I use is $ 10. You just drag and drop components
onto schematic, wire internally with a wire wizard tool and out to pins, right click and config them.
Setup is right clicking a component on schematic (in PSOC land a component is an onchip
resource) and setting clocks, amplitude, phase....whatever). I could write code and add LCD
to design to do config that way, just got lazy. So only code written in this case was 6 lines
of code to start all the key components. Note each component has a library of API f() calls
to manipulate it under code. Rare you write a driver for anything.
This setup was to just burst 4 sine cycles into a filter. Can be configed repeating or press of
a button to initiate the burst. Number of cycles programmable, as is freq, amplitude. For
repeating inter burst delay also settable.
Additionally I have needed to burst a mix of waveforms, this solution does that as well. Shown
is two channels, I think chip has enough resources to do 4.....
The trigger is easily changed from repeating or button to a qualified trigger, like a V being
exceeded, or a logic level or pattern. Just more drag and drop onto schematic to do that.
Although more advanced stuff like using the A/D or DMA or DSP requires you do some coding.
Even a state machine for trigger using onboard LUT easy to do.
