[time-nuts] DDS'ery

[Javier Herrero]

The jitter when taking only the MSB is same as the DDS clock period. I 
don't think that squaring the filtered sinewave you will get that jitter 
(of course, if you square the sinewave with no filtering, you will get 
the same jitter that taking only the MSB). In fact, it is the reason 
that AD9850/AD9851 include a comparator instead of just an MSB output.

Regards,

Javier
