Microcontrollers used as oscillators ( 1 ) :

• Tone Generation - A general purpose resonator routine is implemented using a PIC17C42. This routine is used to generate multiple tones. A tone signal is normally generated using extensive table lookup schemes.When a multiple tone signal is desired, each tone must have its own lookup table, thus requiring a large amount of storage space, especially when various frequencies are to be generated. This application note implements tone generation using recursive techniques. The algorithm for a resonator is developed and implemented using PIC17C42.
