# APU
+The Audio Processing Unit (APU) is programmed on the FPGA, here it will produce different signals on the audio output. These signals come in a few forms, as listed below.
+
+- triangle waves
+- square waves
+- sine waves
+- sawtooth waves
+- random noise
+
+These signals will be generated using PWM, this allows a digital signal to act as an analog signal. Using this method it is theoretically possible to create all of the aforementioned signals.

+This figure shows an example signal (in blue), created by the FPGA. and the corresponding analog signal (in red).
