The AD995x board contains a USB controller, a DDS(AD9951, AD9952, AD9953, or AD9954), a quadrature generator, and a Quad Sampling Detector(QSD). By populating appropriate parts of the board the board may be used for the following: VLF to VHF signal generator with programmable output power. Receiver covering at least VLF to 54MHz or above with connection to a suitable PC and soundcard. The addition of the BPF Board(controllable from the PIC controller) provides a complete receiver. Receiver and transceiver VFO with quadrature generation and receiver control. Spectrum Analyzer with tracking generator VNA(requires slight modification of the QSD circuit to provide DC coupling).

Discussion group for a group buy of parts for the 995x board is here . The 5th Group buy of 995x parts is hereI have placed a public parts list at DigiKey. Find it Here . It DOES NOT include T1,T2 or T3 because DigiKey as far as I know does not have suitable alternatives. These on included on the Mini-Circuits_Lab page of the 995x Production BOM . I have included values for 3 different LPF designs depending on the clock frequency used. Uncheck the values for L1,L2 and L3 as well as C26-C32 for the LPF freq. you are not using. To have boards partially or completely assembled, contact Chris Waldrup Here
Band Pass Filter
The BPF board contains 6 Band Pass Filters. Each can be up to 7 element Cheb. or elliptic in complexity. Coils can be any size from 0603 to 1810. The schematic shows my design for six 7 element filters designed for a general coverage receiver from 1.8 to 30 MHz. The filters are selected by 3 CMOS control lines. In addition, the board has transformer input and the control and RF grounds are joined at a single point.

Si570 Board
The first kits started shipping on Nov 20. The 2nd 200 boards are on order and expected Monday, Nov. 26. Tom, KM5H of the Softrock40 Yahoo group is doing a large group buy of the Si570. My parts kit does NOT include the Si570. The group buy for the Si570 Chips is here The parts kits contain the following: 2 - 10uF; 3 - .1uF; 3 - .01uF; 1 - 200K; 2 - 49.9; 4 - 1K; 1 - GTL2002; 1 - LP2992AIM-3.3V
This board is designed to supply 24V to a FET amplifier. This is a low cost design for a 12VDC input and 24VDC output at 4 amps(or more) convertor. Several prototype boards have been produced and 1 board has been assembled and tested. Runs very cool with 4.3 amps output. . The production board has provision for larger heatsinks and a larger coil for higher power and an additional resister on the NE555 to allow other voltages to be generated. The converter is available either as a bare board or as a full kit of parts plus the board. Board Only
Board Plus Parts
Production Boards are in stock for immediate shipment. A DDS oscillator board using an AD9912 and controlled by a PIC18F2550 USB controller will provide a single RF output from near DC to 400 MHz.
Production boards are now available. Parts for the parts kits were ordered on 5 July. I should have them by 11 July. This board was part of the Software Defined Transceiver. A Cypress CY7C68013A provides a high speed (480Mbps) USB 2.0 interface and an 8051compatable microprocessor. The design has been ported over KICAD. This would be a good board to use with 192 KHz A/D and D/A converters. High speed USB 2.0 is specified as 40 times faster than "full speed" USB 2.0 that is in the PIC USB devices. These boards are also compatable with the N2PK VNA. Bare PCB
