There are also a couple of 5s in there. [~]$ factor 63897600 63897600: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 5 5 13 > There really is no reason to clock a DDS with a nice even number frequency. > OK the even freq. makes the math easier but it's all done in software so > "easier" does not matter. I'll bet there are some second order considerations in there. How about spurs? If your starting frequency is "nice" relative to your target frequency, the spurs will be smaller and/or farther away. ---------- bell.pe...@gmail.com said: > It's exactly 52 times the 1.2288MHz reference that IS95/CDMA2K uses - this > may be a coincidence, but I somehow doubt it. DDS calculations get (much) easier if you have the right clock frequency. I'm not enough of a wizard in that area to guess why they want that number. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
