WAVE-GENERATION CIRCUIT AND OPERATION SYSTEM UTILIZING THE SAME
A wave-generation circuit is provided. A core circuit establishes digital data. A fetch and calculation circuit generates a first data string and a second data string according to the digital data, outputs the first data string via a first pin, and outputs the second data string via a second pin. A latch circuit latches the first and second data strings. The latch circuit uses the first data string as first input data, and use the second data string as second input data. A digital-to-analog conversion circuit receives and converts the first input data and the second input data to generate a first output wave and a second output wave. After the core circuit establishes the digital data, the fetch and calculation circuit, the latch circuit, and the digital-to-analog conversion circuit operate independently of the core circuit to generate the first output wave and the second output wave.
