AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on building a circuit using the AD9854 DDS chip to generate a frequency-controllable sine wave. The main challenge is sourcing a suitable master clock supply, ideally around 200MHz, with suggestions for using crystal oscillators or CMOS programmable oscillators. It is noted that the AD9854 can operate with an external clock as low as 15MHz, thanks to its built-in PLL multiplier, allowing for flexibility in clock sourcing. Participants share insights on the chip's capabilities and their personal experiences with Analog Devices. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the chip's specifications and the potential for lower frequency inputs.

Hi Guys..

I am try building a circuit which involves with a AD9854 DDS(Direct Digital Synthesis) chip to generate a frequency controlable sine wave for me...

The problem for me is that the Master clock supply for the chip need to be around 200MHz...I don't know whether there is any crystal oscillator that can perform this function...or maybe there are some CMOS programmable oscillator chips that can do the trick for me...?

Here is the link of the chip:

Thank you guys for ur help!

On page 30 of that datasheet, it says that you can put in as little as 15MHz, which is definitely available in canned oscillator form. I'd stay away from messing around with anything over about 50MHz, unless you are making your own PCBs and understand stripline transmission line techniques.

HAHA! I made a lot of the plots that are in this datasheet when I was a co-op at Analog Devices ~10 years ago!

The internal clock on the AD9854 needs to be at least 20Mhz. There's a built in PLL multiplier, so the external clock source that you supply can be as low as 5Mhz. You just have to enable the multiplier, and set the bits appropriately (see pages 30-31).

On page 30 of that datasheet, it says that you can put in as little as 15MHz
as low as 15Mhz and still achieve 300Mhz internal clock. The internal clock can run lower than this as well.
 
Thanks asynchronous13, and welcome to the PF. It must have been way cool to work at AD as a co-op! Where are you now?
 
i ran 100's of these parts through FFT's for characterization while i was there. Analog Devices was a great place to work, but they didn't give me enough to do as a co-op, so i ended doing stuff like designing/building guitar distortion pedals for personal use :-)

10 yrs in summary: BS in EE from U of Tennessee -> Harris Corporation in FL (worked on international space station and Comanche helicopter) -> France for grad school, got a french EE degree -> masters in EE from GaTech (DSP) -> currently in Atlanta at GaTech working on PhD in unmanned aerial vehicles

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
