Michael The analog circuitry for a sigma-delta DAC is attached. The input is optically isolated using a high speed low jitter CMOS optocoupler (Avago produce an equivalent device) to break low frequency ground loops. Similarly an RF transformer should be used to couple the OCXO output to the Digital board breaking another potential low frequency ground loop. The task of the microprocessor firmware is to generate the delta sigma 1 bit input data for the optocoupler. Alternatively one of Analog devices chip scale transformer isolators could be used. Bruce
