generating high frequency triangle wave using AD9834

Thread Summary

The user asked if the AD9834 DDS chip can generate a 36 MHz triangle wave, but the 75 MSPS update rate is insufficient for a proper waveform. The engineer suggested that for a good triangle wave, the 5th harmonic should be below the Nyquist frequency, limiting the frequency to around 7 MHz. The user inquired about using the AD9953 (400 MSPS) for 36 MHz triangle waves, but was informed that higher sampling rate DDS chips, including the AD9953, can only generate sinusoids directly and would require a workaround using amplitude sweeps, which may affect phase tuning functionality.

hi all,

i'm new to this forum and also to DDS application..

so i have a task to create a triangle wave with frequency of 36MHz..

is it possible to do this task using AD9834 chip?

i wonder that the update rate of AD9834 is only 75MSPS , is it possible to create a good triangle at my required frequency..

thank you very much

regards,

franz
