FG-100 DDS Function Generator - anyone got a schematic?

I bought one of these, mainly because its cheap cheap!

99% of my use for it, is just for testing audio stuff, so the frequency range is more than enough.

Build quality is really nice, especially for a low volume, cheap, Chinese item :p

Even the hand soldering is neat and clean!

And onto the question... does anyone have a schematic for this?
I'm wanting to modify it, so it has a built in rechargeable battery, that I can charge using the usb cable it came with. (its either going to be a tight fit, or a low capacity)

I'm also wondering what the "filter" button does?

PICS!

I could not see any usb connector on it, nor I could see enough space for a battery. Will a flat cell Li rechargeable battery fit in there?

In any case, you may also not need any schematics for the portability problem, if you can use a usb power bank (<$10)  placed inside or outside of the device. For this,  the only thing needed is to solder the power bank in parallel to the DC input on the device. (and make sure not to use a DC supply over the rating of the power bank, which is around 5V).

The worst may be that you have to rip off the small power control PCB from a usb power bank or find a similar, and, then, fit it to a flat cell Li battery if there is space for them inside.

AmmoJammo:
It will run on 3.5 - 10volts input, and appears to step the voltage up to about 13volts, before regulating it down to 5volts for some parts of the circuit, and possibly uses the 13volts to drive the output circuit, as it can output 10volts p-p (or it may also regulate this down to 12volts somewhere)

It comes with a usb to dc plug cable.

Current draw at 5volts is about 300ma.

I've ordered two 14650 lithium batteries, as I can fit at least one, possibly two in the case.
Also ordered some protection/charge circuit boards...

The unit doesn't look too complex - a schematic should be easy to make within a few minutes.

From your pictures and the ebay auction it has an AVR ( with a 30Mhz oscillator ).

The DAC appears to be an 8bit R2R.

Looking at the board and the waveforms on ebay - a switching step up regulator ( you can see the switching noise ).
A hd44780 compatible lcd with backlight.
A couple of opamps - one for the filter ( presumably to try and get rid of the switching noise ) and one for DC offset.

So - you have the board - why not try and draw the schematic youself :-)

kripton2035:
this one schematic should be not far from the one you bought on ebay.
good digging.
