Let's see mathematically how to reconstruct a sinewave starting from a given number of samples.

Before we need to learn as the waveform can be generated using DAC. Now we are ready to generate the initialization code.
#IDE FOR STM32 NUCLEO BOARD MANUAL#
First, let's see how to initialize the peripherals using STCube Tool: Configuration of DAC in manual mode DAC Initialization

This NUCLEO has available a DAC with only one channel (in general every DAC has one or more channels) with resolution up to 12bit with a maximum bus speed of 32 MHz and a maximum sampling rate of 4 Msps. We will use a NUCLEO STM32L053R8 board to show as configure DAC with STCube. In this modality we can drive DAC to on/off a LED, to generate a reference voltage, etc. Using a Data Memory Access (DMA) with a trigger source (can be an internal timer or external source).The DAC peripheral can be controlled in two ways: The use of the DAC finds various applications, for example, it can be used to reconstruct a sampled signal or to generate any waveform (sine wave, square wave, sawtooth, etc.), to generate a reference voltage (for example for a digital comparator). Many of the STM32 microcontrollers have on board at least one DAC (generally 12 bit) with the possibility of buffering the output signal (with internal operational amplifier OP-AMP). Therefore, it is more easily achievable with integrated circuit technology. The typical output characteristic is shown in the following figure.Ĭompared to the weighted resistor DAC, the R-2R scale DAC has the advantage of using only two resistive values. If the 3bit string is D and Vref is equal to the logical voltage of 3.3V The output voltage in the case of the 3-bit DAC is: In practice, the circuit is an inverting adder where the bits (B0, B1. One of the simplest and most classic DACs is the R-2R ladder, but today there are more complex objects with optimization in the signal reconstruction.

The conversion consists in sending the voltage corresponding to the code applied to the input to the output of the converter. the value proportional to the code implied in the binary word). The operating criterion of a DAC is simple: in fact, it is sufficient to have a succession of as many voltages as there are convertible codes, obtained for example by means of a weighted resistance network (i.e. This means that the devices to which the analog signal produced by a DAC is sent must filter it with a low-pass characteristic (integrating action). Since the input binary words represent a succession of finite codes, the voltage coming out of a DAC cannot be continuous over time but is made up of as many levels as the converted codes are. A Digital to Analog Converter( DAC) performs the task of converting digital words of n bits into voltages whose amplitude will be proportional to the value of the code expressed by the words themselves.
