Max038 frequency synthesizer
Description:
I just finished building a frequency synthesizer with the MAX038 waveform generator from MAXIM. My circuit is a copy of the high frequency waveform generator in the datasheet, with a 16F877 PIC controlling the device.

The main PCB, with MAX038 high frequency waveform generator, power supply and 16F877 PIC controlling the frequency synthesizer. I have detected a small error in the PCB, pin 11 and 12 on the MAX038 IC has to be connected to ground.
