For projects where the clock ratio between the sampling clock and core clock
is higher than 2, the ad_dds generates a number of samples equal with
the clock ratio. There is a phase offset between the samples, proportional
with the requested DDS frequency.
In scenarios where the DDS out frequency is closer to the upper
limit(Nyquist) and/or the clock ratio is also greater than 2 and the
dac_data_sync reminds low for an extended period of time, the DAC will
receive at each core clock period, a number of samples equal with the
clock ratio and with an amplitude influenced by the DDS out frequency.
In most cases similar with a sawtooth signal.
With this commit we ensures that samples received by the DAC are 0 for
the period where dac_data_sync signal is high. Only when the signal
transitions to low, the phase accumulator is initialized and the phase
information is passed to the phase to amplitude converter.
Another issue can appear when the sync signal is too short; less then
CLK_RATIO * clock cycles. Because the phase accumulator will not
synchronize at all stages, the final result will be a random combination of
sine-waves. Added a minimum sync pulse after the dac_data_sync is set
low.
