VHDL sine wave generator using block RAM
$0
This VHDL module reads pre-calculated values from block RAM in the FPGA to generate a smooth sine wave pattern on the output signal.
Description
The sine_rom.vhd module uses block RAM as read-only memory (ROM) to store the sample points of a full sine wave. The X and Y-axes precision of the sine wave is configurable through generics.
In addition to the ModelSim testbench, the Zip contains an example implementation for the Lattice iCEstick FPGA board. The demo design uses PWM to pulse an LED on the iCEstick with sine wave intensity, creating a smooth LED breathing effect.
