Abstract

A waveform generator has a waveform generation circuit storing waveform data for an analog waveform signals having dead time periods without the need for storing data on the dead time. A sequencer having a sequence memory stores sequence data that controls the sequencing of one or more signal components and associated dead times of the analog waveform signal. The timing of the dead time is controlled by a sampling clock and a wait time counter. The generation of the signal components is controlled by the sampling clock controlling the generation of addresses for a waveform memory storing digital data of the sampling components. The waveform memory digital data is converted to an analog waveform signal.
