Are we not overdoing it. 7E-13 for $15 KISS, and if you want to go beyond
that use a $ 30 analog version.
Looking right now at 1 E -14, I do se temperature influences, with my heat
sink stable to .1 C. Mainly due to the fact that is only one side of the
unit and it is clearly designed to use all sides for heat dissipation.

Hi
What we are talking about is toggling the least significant bit in the DDS
to achieve a resolution of less than that LSB. It could be done to a set
period (like a PWM) or pseudo randomly to reduce the noise signature.
Either way, roughly a 16 element long "period" should be quite adequate.
7x10^-16 / 16 would give us a 4x10^-14 step and a 2x10^-14 max error.
