Dear All,
Where can I find a code for sinusoidal PWM for PIC18F452 with frequency 60 Hz?
and it must be all digital, no analog signals used (I mean i don't want to use ADC to compare sin wave with triangle wave) I want it fully digital, is it possible to find such a code?!

if someone has done it, maybe it helps me so much.

Thanks in advance

Use the sin(x) function of a PIC and plug values of (x) with as much resolution you want to get sinusoidal digital values.

you mean I use an array using C and put the values of the sin function in it, or there is a possibility to make a function sin(x) and vary the variable X on whole the period (2∏).

How do you get a variable duty cycle from that?

John
I believe he was along these lines:

Multiply sin(x) with 1/2 max resolution of PWM, add result to 1/2 max resolution. Use result for duty cycle.

sin(180)=-1 - 0% duty cycle, sin (0) = 0 = 50% duty cycle, sin(90) =1 = 100% duty cycle. Change 0-360 degrees to 0-6.28 for radians.

Put result through lowpass filter, followed by decoupling cap to center on zero.
