access to phase accumulator in Xilinx DDS 5.0

Nov 25, 2005 0 Replies

Hi all,



is there a way to access the phase accumulator in Xilinx DDS 5.0? (preferably from VHDL)



I'd like to determine the carrier phase between two modulated signals by phaselocking an NCO on each one and then subtracting the phase accumulators.



Given that there is a great DDS already, I dislike reinventing it just to tap an internal signal.



BTW the register interface is nice if I want to setup everything with a microcontroller. But --- in a pure hardware environment it is clumsy to multiplex frequency word and phase modulation to a 32 bit data bus



  • address line + WE, knowing the first thing to happen is that they will be demultiplexed again into different registers. In addition, the update rates are halved and potentially simultaneous frequency/phase updates need to be scheduled. (Options for DDS 5.1???)

best regards, Gerhard
