[time-nuts] FE-5680A FAQ update: question about frequency synthesizer architecture

[Javier Herrero]

I've checked now that they do not seem to be any activity on the DDS SPI 
lines during normal operation. I've tried with several small offsets 
through the serial port, and the square wave at FSELECT seems to be same 
square, no appreciable duty cycle variation.

Regards,

Javier
