DDS-based generator produces 20-MHz waveforms.

EE-Evaluation Engineering • March, 2008 • PRODUCT BRIEFING

The Model 4040DDS Sweep Function Generator uses direct digital synthesis to generate 20-MHz sine and square waveforms and 2-MHz triangle waveforms. It offers 10 Vpk-pk amplitude into 50 [ohm], AM and FM modulation, linear or logarithmic sweeps, and adjustable DC offset of [+ or -]4.5 V. A range of triggering capabilities includes internal-external trigger source and gated modes of operation. Adjustable symmetry allows the generator to produce a variety of pulse waveforms, ramp or sawtooth waves, and skewed sine waves. Resolution is 10 mHz. A four-digit counter and coarse and fine tuning controls facilitate setting of the output frequency.
