[time-nuts] Exact power connector for Symmetricom TimeProvider 100

2012-01-27 Thread Julien Goodwin
I'm wondering if anyone knows exactly which power connector the Symmetricom TimeProvider 100 uses as as the manual doesn't have it (word of advice people, describing a connector as simply Molex style is fairly useless), and a trawl of mouser seems to indicate it's a MiniFit Plus series but I'm not

I appreciate those notes; the data sheet for the DDS part also explains it. It has a 12-bit LUT driving an internal 10-bit DAC (the 5.3 MHz sine is still a bit coarse, with 4 samples per cycle, but in the 5680 it is cleaned up by an external filter). Because phase information maps directly

Hello John, thanks for maintaining the 5680A FAQ; regarding its frequency resolution, have you checked the DDS FSELECT pin (and maybe also PSEL0/1) to see if they are doing some kind of dithering of the DDS frequency ? C. Original Message From: beale@bealecorner. com Date: Jan 27,
