Waveform 4 Click incorporates the Analog Devices AD9106, a four-channel, 12-bit, 180MSPS waveform generator that integrates on-chip SRAM and direct digital synthesis (DDS) for generating complex waveforms. The DDS enables a master-clock sine wave generator at speeds up to 180 MHz with a 24-bit tuning signal, allowing for a frequency resolution of 10.8 Hz/LSB. The AD9106 has a single frequency output and independent programmable phase-shift outputs for each of the four integrated DACs. Furthermore, the onboard SRAM data can include directly generated stored waveforms, accessible via the serial peripheral interface, amplitude modulation patterns applied to the DDS outputs, or DDS frequency tuning signals.
Click boards are based on the 16-pin mikroBUS™ standard for sockets on a development board, invented by MIKROE ten years ago. Click boards allow design engineers to easily swap peripherals, reducing development time by months. The company releases a new Click board almost every day at 10 a.m., and many of the leading microcontroller companies, including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices Renesas, and Toshiba, now include the mikroBUS socket on their development boards.
Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE, comments: "Waveform 4 Click illustrates the huge range of features we have available for Clicks, at a reduced price. There's no need to reinvent the wheel: for just $109, designers can start designing immediately."
Waveform 4 Click is compatible with a mikroSDK-compatible library, which includes features that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used in a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
