AD9951 DDS & DDS-4 digital VFO

The Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) Unit described in this document is based on the Analog Devices AD9951/54 family chips.
Featuring advanced technology, high speed 14 bit Digital to Analog Converter, capable of generating a frequency-agile analog
output sinusoidal waveform at up to 200 MHz with a fine tuning resolution of 32 bits.

 


 

DDS assembled inside metal box (90 x 35 mm)
 


 

 
 

The Unit consists of a 2-layer pcb providing maximum flexibility in a minimum size, it includes room and facilities for:

The Unit can be interfaced to a micro based controller trough a suitable 6 pin connector.

 
      This Project has been developed thank to the strictly collaborated work of i0CG, Giuliano and i0GLU, Giancarlo.
