Article Learning more about Direct Digital Synthesis Technology (DDS)

Q.

I have heard DDS is an alternative to Phase Locked Loops (PLLs) for frequency synthesis, but I am not familiar with Direct Digital Synthesis Technology.  Does ADI offer any training or tutorial material that I can use to learn more about DDS?

--------------------------------------------------------------

A.

Yes, ADI offers a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) Tutorial Series.  This series consists of slide modules with an accompanying voice-over.  Links to the modules in this series are included below:
