Quoting cfk <address@hidden>:

Sounds good

All good choices.

While we're at it, let's really go all out -- the 4702 can handle 4 different
addresses.  Thus, we could put 2 of these boards, with 2 4702s each, on the
USRP at once, necessitating the 4 addresses.  With a pair of 2-pin jumpers we
can accomodate that.  If you give the address select pin on one 4702 a 15K R to
+5V, and then provide a jumper which can pull that to ground, it will be
selectable.  Similarly the other one could have a jumper to +5V, and would be
open otherwise.

I would go with a dual opamp and use both DAC outputs.

They look good.

That file seems to be missing from your site.

Yes, I'll get you a copy of the schematics.
