Hey there,
I'm thinking of making a DDS function generator using one of the AD9x
chips. All of Analog's DDS chips are in SMD packages. I've emailed
others who have made these in the past based on the 50 and 125MHz
10bit chips and they recommend going with one of the better chips for
a cleaner output. So I'm possibly leaning towards the 400MHz 14bit
chips.
I wanted opinions on mounting one of these on a homemade pcb ( similar
to this: http://protoboards.theshoppe.com/qfp_0_8_mm.html ) then using
short jumper wires to connect it to the rest of the circuit. This way
I would only have to solder the chip once (by hand). The board and
chip could easily be removed for use in other circuits or revisions.
My worries are it may cause too much noise or interference in the
output. I don't have much experience in these frequencies so I wanted
to ask what others thought.
Thanks,
Burnboy
