common to all four DACs, this method biases up the output
voltages of all the DACs in the AD7226. Note that V
of the AD7226 should be referenced to DGND.
3-PHASE SINE WAVE
The circuit of Figure 15 shows an application of the AD7226 in
the generation of 3-phase sine waves which can be used to con-
trol small 3-phase motors. The proper codes for synthesizing a
full sine wave are stored in EPROM, with the required phase-
shift of 120 between the three D/A converter outputs being
generated in software.
Data is loaded into the three D/A converters from the sine
EPROM via the microprocessor or control logic. Three loops
are generated in software with each D/A converter being loaded
from a separate loop. The loops run through the look-up table
producing successive triads of sinusoidal values with 120 sepa-
ration which are loaded to the D/A converters producing 3 sine
wave voltages 120 apart. A complete sine wave cycle is gener-
ated by stepping through the full look-up table. If a 256-element
sine wave table is used then the resolution of the circuit will be
1.4 (360 /256). Figure 17 shows typical resulting waveforms.
The sine waves can be smoothed by filtering the D/A converter
outputs.
The fourth D/A converter of the AD7226, DAC D, may be used
in a feedback configuration to provide a programmable refer-
ence voltage for itself and the other three converters. This con-
figuration is shown in Figure 15. The relationship of V
is dependent upon digital code and upon the ratio of R
and is given by the formula
