A little over one month ago , I saw a Design Idea in EDN magazine that described how to calculate values that could be fed to a DAC which would result in a sinusoidal output. The URL is http://www.edn.com/article/CA6713709.html . I tried to validate the technique using an excel spreadsheet. ( see http://oh-god.com:5080/dir/edn/ ) My effort did not result in a steady state sinusoid. The author of the design note has not been able to enlighten me as to what went wrong. Perhaps someone on the PIClist can give me a push in the right direction. Did I mess up the calculations I used in the Excel spreadsheet ? I started dabbling with Z transforms to see if I could derive the proper algorithm. I quickly determined I was very rusty with regard to Z transforms.
