#117209 - How about some more detail ... ???
Responding to: ???'s previous message
If a naked 100 MIPS 805x type can't do it, then a naked ARM won't do it any better.

You should provide precise specifications, i.e. number of pulses, pulse width, rise time, fall time, rep-rate, tolerable variance from those spec's, etc. if you really want some help. The interaction between your MCU clock rate and the specifics of your desired waveform will probably make quite a difference.

If your desired sample rate (the rate at which these digital signals change) is 4.000 MHz, then synthesizing them with a 31.25 MHz clock rate may prove difficult, despite the high cycle rate. The devil's in the details.

With a fast MCU capable of a 4 MHz serial port data rate, and using the Mode0 serial port, e.g. on the DS89C420, you might be able to get there without external hardware. It looks like a job for a CPLD, though.

                     When were they "there?"            01/01/70 00:00      
                        about 5 years ago            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Just for your amazement ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                              I posted at SILabs ....            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Not sure ...            01/01/70 00:00      
               burst pulses...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Gotcha but...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     look at a schematic            01/01/70 00:00

            You get what you ask for!!!            01/01/70 00:00      
               Is that so ... ?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Of course, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Got me thinking...            01/01/70 00:00
