 0-70MHZ DDS Synthesizer Design, Schematics and Parts List
 
  

Preliminary Project information

 

 

In view to keep in mind continous updates in amateur Home-brewing field, I decided to build this DDS KIT in 5 seperate PCB modules.

DDS kit has 4 small plug-in PCBs that fits on a Motherboard. Project is designed keeping in mind future up-gradation of Processor or Software.

DDS Kit is available with either V.1 or V.2 DDS boards. Other modules like PIC 16F628,  4X3 Keyboard,  7X1 Function board and DDS Motherboard are common in both the kits.

 DDS Boards : V.1 & V.2
 
DDS V.1 board has LPF to 42MHz making it suitable for frequencies below 40mhz of Local Oscillator applications. It has a Mini-circuits  MAR-8 wideband amplifier followed by another LPF. 

This board uses thru-hole components and has a standard 14DIL 30MHZ clock oscillator with a possibility to use half size oscillators. Most components are thru-hole except, AD9851 DDS chip, 1:1 RF Transformer and Output amplifier.

DDS V.2 board has an output Low Pass filter set to 70MHZ. This board is designed for those who would like to make a  receivers/transmitters using IF of 30-45MHZ. It has adjustable output, dual LPF and many SMD components such as AD9851, an 1:1 RF Transformer and a RF amplifier.

V.2 board has possibility to use either a 14DIL 30MHZ clock oscillator or a programmable oscillator using Maxim Dallas "Econ Oscillator"  such as DS1085.

 PIC16F628 Micro controller Board
 
PIC Board has a PIC16F628 micro-controller to handle DDS chip.

 

 
 4 X 3 High Quality Front Panel Keyboard 
 
4X3 Keyboard which fits on motherboard is provided for Front Panel frequency entry.

       

  

 Function Board 
 
1X7 Function Board is accessible from front panel. Its purpose is to control the PIC program residing in 16F628 chip. It has one "spare" button & one button devoted to "TX" function.
 

          

  

 DDS Motherboard 
 
Motherboard  accepts all of the above board thru 0.1inch header receptacle in addition to a 2X16 LCD. It also has a  5V regulator, an opto isolator (4N33S) and two connectors. 
 

wait a while!!

 

 

 

 

 

 LCD Display
 
LCD Display which fits on a motherboard is a 2X16 character from Hantronix having an HD 47**** controller chip to display frequency & menu functions.
