'[PIC] tan function on a 8 bit PIC'

I did some searching, and saw some routines on arctan, but wondering is doing a tan calculation out the the reach of a 18F processor. What I am eventually implementing is audio eq calculations.

Alan,
About a year ago I wrote a fixed point transcendental library.
It is not a problem to calculate tan on a micro including the
18F but I would avoid using it if it is possible to use a
separate algorithm in applications.

Hi-Tech PICC-18 using 24-bit floats:
#include <math.h>
void main(void)
{
float x, y;
x = tan(y);
}
Memory Summary:
Program space used 947h ( 2375) of 20000h bytes ( 1.8%)
Data space used 43h ( 67) of F00h bytes ( 1.7%)

Could you look into C18 SRC folder?

Yes you can calculate tan on an 18F. I guess the real question is how fast
do you need to calculate it.
I've written a floating point tan library function for the XCSB compiler
and that generates code for the dumber 16F.

You can approximate via interpolation and a discrete TAN lookup table
rather quickly.

It will certainly be able to do it. Whether it will be able to do it at
the speed and accuracy that your application requires is another matter.

Hi Alan,
Why do you specifically need to calculate tan()?
You might get away with the approximation:
tan(x) ~ x for small x
But if you need to calculate all the way out to tan(pi/2), you're in for a
surprise!

Yep...come to the conclusion that the lil ol 18F won't cut it. True I can use a look up table, but I found an easier method....find a part that has things built in, in as much as the function I need for the audio eq. Wolfson has a part, and yes it limits the choice of centre frequencies I can choose, for this particular app it will fit just fine.
Thanks for the replies
