[time-nuts] Power Supply for AD9852 / AD9854 correction

[EWKehren at aol.com]

Correction I did put pin 4 on the same regulator as the PIC. Had to have  
one for the PIC so why not use it. Do not know if it made a difference.

You have  not said any thing as to what you expect to get out  of the DDS 
and  how important certain parameters are. We recently did a AD 9913  that 
Tom  
tested extensively  http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/ad9913/ using  a  
single 
supply for the DDS. Some may take exception but it works  for us. The AD  
9913 is nice for time nuts applications since it  allows precise offsets 
and we  
use it in applications like Dual Mixer  and what I call the Austron 
circuit, 
a  circuit that is a single  channel digital mixer with ping pong counter 
and  yields 1 E-12 in 1  second. Not ready for release yet.
AD 9913 board is attached.

I would assume  that using two voltage regulators will  spread the load. 
For the  AD9851 I'am planning to put external radiator  glued on top of  
it.
