For many years, function and arbitrary waveform generators — often referred to as ARB generators by test engineers —have traditionally been built on one common technology: direct digital synthesis ...

This direct digital synthesis IC can function as an arbitrary waveform generator by bypassing the SIN table ROM, holding the phase accumulator at zero, and using the phase register as the ...

One of the more challenging tasks facing test engineers is the creation of stimulus signals to exercise a PCB prototype or silicon turn, or to define complex high-frequency modulated signals for RF ...
