Correction I did put pin 4 on the same regulator as the PIC. Had to have one for the PIC so why not use it. Do not know if it made a difference. Bert In a message dated 3/16/2014 3:58:20 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, ewkeh...@aol.com writes:
You have not said any thing as to what you expect to get out of the DDS and how important certain parameters are. We recently did a AD 9913 that Tom tested extensively http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/ad9913/ using a single supply for the DDS. Some may take exception but it works for us. The AD 9913 is nice for time nuts applications since it allows precise offsets and we use it in applications like Dual Mixer and what I call the Austron circuit, a circuit that is a single channel digital mixer with ping pong counter and yields 1 E-12 in 1 second. Not ready for release yet. AD 9913 board is attached. Bert Kehren In a message dated 3/16/2014 12:36:48 P.M.
