What you need is the AD9913. It has a programmable modulus. Now you're not stuck with 2^32. You can pick any convenient value. Rick Karlquist N6RK On 1/25/2011 5:37 AM, Ulrich Bangert wrote: Gentlemen, the pros and cons of DDS chips and how to improve them have been discussed here from time

Since the 9913 lacks a means of low pass filtering the DAC reference it may well suffer from significant AM noise sidebands. With a well designed sine to square converter as required when using it as part of an offset source like that outlined in Rick's paper (probably desirable to reduce the
