Many embedded applications require the generation of
analog signals. Although separate D/A converter IC’s
exist on the market today, their extra price makes them
prohibitive in cost sensitive embedded control designs.
The following application note describes two DAC
designs for generation of complex analog waveforms.:
(PWM and R-2R Ladder). Both the Pulse Width Modu-
lation (PWM) and resistor ladders require only a few
external components to create a D/A converter with the
PICmicro™ microcontroller series.
These techniques can be used to generate dual-tone
multiplexed frequencies (DTMF) for telephone dialing,
controlling the speed of a motor, generating sound and
complex waveforms, and generating variable voltages
in a power supply. AN655
