OK, That's an oscillator from Fox Electronics. It is available with an internal eeprom programmed to the frequency you want or can be programmed "on the fly" through a serial port. As I recall, it's actually a PLL frequency synthesizer in a DIP package. Really pretty neat. However, I've recently been a bit more impressed with the direct digital synthesis (or numerically controller oscillator) chip available from someone (Analog Devices, mayne... I have a sample at work). Harold On Mon, 20 Apr 1998 07:54:49 -0600 Harrison Cooper writes: > Someplace, I have the demo board and software for >this. >Rep gave it to me a while back.
