Sine Wave Generator


Operator Menu Location: Generators

Functional Description:
The output of the Sine Wave Generator is

where y is the output, is the input frequency in hertz, and A is the amplitude.
The operator has an enable input pin, which can be optionally connected to turn off the generator. That is, when is LOW, the output is y(t)=0.
If the generator frequency does not need to change over time, input need not be connected. Instead, the frequency can be defined by the operator property f and the generator output will be
y(t)=Asin2(pi)(ft)


User-Defined Properties:
Object Name. A string label that identifies the operator

Amplitude. The sine wave amplitude, A


Frequency. The sine wave frequency in hertz. This parameter is ignored if the frequency input is connected.


Display Frequency Input. This property determines if the frequency input pin is visible in the schema diagram. Design Pad issues a warning upon processing the schema when the pin is visible but not connected. The warning message is not issued when the pin is not visible (when this property is not checked).


Display Enable Input. This property determines if the enable input pin is visible in the schema diagram. Design Pad issues a warning upon processing the schema when the pin is visible but not connected. The warning message is not issued when the pin is not visible (when this property is not checked).


Comments: None.
