Frequency Generator
Hello, my english is not so good but I will try to post for the first time....
I am trying to make a very stabile frequency generator from 10 Hz to 100 Hz
and in increments of maximum 0.1 Hz but 0.05 Hz would be great.
My first idea was to use the 16F872 and it's HPWM output witch
is from about 1200Hz to 32767 Hz , and divide the output by 300 [lot's of D-Flip Flops].
The problem is that the PWM output is working in increments of about 100 Hz,
and 100 Hz / 300 = 0.3Hz resolution......no good.
Is there a way to get a better resolution by using Asembler, or is using the DDS like
AD9833 or AD9850 my only option?
The mesurements from very good frequency meter taken from the HPWM output are :
.....
9708 Hz
9803 Hz
9900 Hz
10000 Hz
10100 Hz
10203 Hz
10308 Hz
10415 Hz
10526 Hz
10638 Hz
.....
and the code is:

endif
If freq < freq_in_END then
