Wavegen alt
About the Wavegen alt PCB
Wavegen alt is an open source PCB design by Fifty-Nine, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-1.2 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 50.8 × 50.8 mm, with 49 components from 26 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the 497-1242-1, 93LC46BT-I/OT, AD9837BCPZ-RL7 and 768-1024-1. By type, the board carries 23 capacitors, 10 resistors, 4 ICs, 4 connectors, 3 diodes and 2 crystals.
From the project
Open source implementation of a USB-controlled function generator
This is an implementation of a USB-controlled Analog Devices AD9837-based function generator that can generate sine, triangle and square waves up to around 200 kHz or so, 1 MHz if the output filtering capacitor is removed (although the quantization of the ADC starts to become apparent around 500 kHz).
