Sinusoidal signals are commonly used in signal processing applications and generating these waveforms provides an interesting project that is the focus of this recipe. A common approach is a direct method that stores the sinusoidal waveform samples in a look-up-table (LUT). This recipe is called dacSinusoid_c5v0.
First, we need to calculate the (12-bit) DAC values that will be stored in the LUT. We'll attempt to generate a 50 Hz sinusoidal signal and use a spreadsheet (for example, Microsoft Excel) to calculate the following values:
