[time-nuts] FE 5680A "new version" - Filtering the 10 MHz

[EWKehren at aol.com]

The DDs is part of the Rb loop, the PLD divides by 3 and 2, the 10 MHz is a 
 direct function of the XTAL. I am sure the PLD also has other functions. 
Older  models had a 50.255 XTAL with a DDS on the output, I think the change 
occurred  some time between 2000 and 2002.

I think the DDS is implemented inside the PLD.

Sying  "that is not a DDS, it's a PLD, is like saying "That is not an
amplifier,  it is a transistor."

In the description of how the device works in the  data sheet they say
there is a DDS inside the programmable  synthesizer.   It seems
reasonable that several functions are  implemented inside the PLD and
this seems to be supported by the data  sheet.
