### STM32H750 Microcontroller DDS Implementation and Resources

Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) is a method used to generate waveforms using digital signal processing techniques. For the STM32H750 microcontroller, implementing DDS involves configuring timers, DMA channels, and possibly DAC peripherals depending on specific requirements.

#### Hardware Configuration
The STM32H750 development board based on the STM32H750VBT6 core can be utilized for evaluating H7 series microprocessors including their capabilities with peripheral interfaces like TIMERS, DMAs, and DACs which are essential components when building a DDS system[^1].

To implement DDS:

- **Timer Setup**: A timer generates interrupts at regular intervals corresponding to the sampling rate of the desired waveform.

- **DMA Transfer**: Data representing one cycle of the waveform stored in memory gets transferred via Direct Memory Access (DMA), ensuring efficient data streaming without CPU intervention.

- **DAC Output**: The output from the DAC converts these discrete values into an analog voltage level that represents part of the synthesized waveform.

Here's how this might look programmatically within an embedded C environment targeting the STM32 family:

#include "stm32h7xx_hal.h"

// Assume variables have been properly initialized elsewhere...
uint16_t sine_wave_table[SINE_TABLE_SIZE]; // Pre-computed table containing one period of sinewave samples
TIM_HandleTypeDef htim;
DMA_HandleTypeDef hdma;

void setup_dds(void){
    /* Timer configuration */
    __HAL_RCC_TIMx_CLK_ENABLE(); 
    htim.Instance = TIMx; 
    HAL_NVIC_SetPriority(TIMx_IRQn, 0, 1);
    HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ(TIMx_IRQn);

    /* DMA channel initialization */
    __HAL_RCC_DMAx_CLK_ENABLE();
    hdma.Instance = DMAx_Channely;
    
    /* Configure DMA request mapping & priority settings here */

    /* Start continuous circular mode transfer */
    HAL_DMA_Start(&hdma,(uint32_t)sine_wave_table,(uint32_t)&htim.Instance->CCR1,SINE_TABLE_SIZE); 
    
    /* Enable timer counter */
    __HAL_TIM_ENABLE(&htim);
}

This code snippet demonstrates setting up hardware resources necessary for generating a simple sinusoidal waveform through software-defined parameters such as frequency or amplitude modulation by adjusting entries inside `sine_wave_table`.
