Oh, yeah, Don Lancaster has some REALLY interesting stuff he did
a few years ago. he called it "magic sine waves". It is mostly
a scheme for storing families of waves in EPROMS to synthesize
sine waves with the minimum number of transitions (less
transitions = less energy loss in the power transistors).
The scheme stores just a single-bit sequence in the EPROM for
every combination of frequency and voltage.
