DEVICE OPERATION
Cordic processor, which is addressed by the upper 16 bits of
the output from a 34 bit phase accumulator. The accumulator
divides the digital phase circle into a number of steps, one step
for each state of the accumulator. When the accumulator
reaches its maximum value it overflows back to zero and the
sequence is repeated.

be generated. The increment required is defined by :
Increment =
Nyquist criteria for proper waveform reconstruction must still
be obeyed, the maximum output frequency is half the incom-
ing frequency. In practice, when a return is made to the analog
world, just meeting the minimum Nyquist requirement would
require a ‘brick wall’ low pass filter to remove the alias signals.
A more useful ‘rule of thumb’ is to limit the generated wave-
forms to less than 40% of the clock frequency.

output frequency is, however, always less than half the
incoming frequency in order to satisfy the Nyquist criterion.
This is in contrast to a phase locked loop synthesiser, when a
small input frequency controls a high output frequency.

twenty times the log of the ratio of the output frequency to the
input frequency. In a phase locked loop synthesiser N is large,
in the PDSP16350 it is less than half. Log N is thus less than
zero and phase noise improvement is obtained.
