MAX038 LE AVAILAB High-Frequency Waveform Generator
General Description
The MAX038 is a high-frequency, precision function
generator producing accurate, high-frequency triangle,
sawtooth, sine, square, and pulse waveforms with a
minimum of external components. The output frequency
can be controlled over a frequency range of 0.1Hz to
20MHz by an internal 2.5V bandgap voltage
reference and an external resistor and capacitor. The
duty cycle can be varied over a wide range by applying
a ±2.3V control signal, facilitating pulse-width modulation and the generation of sawtooth waveforms.
Frequency modulation and frequency sweeping are
achieved in the same way. The duty cycle and frequency controls are independent.
Sine, square, or triangle waveforms can be selected at
the output by setting the appropriate code at two
TTL-compatible select pins. The output signal for all
waveforms is a 2VP-P signal that is symmetrical around
ground. The low-impedance output can drive up
to ±20mA.
The TTL-compatible SYNC output from the internal
oscillator maintains a 50% duty cycle—regardless of
the duty cycle of the other waveforms—to synchronize
other devices in the system. The internal oscillator can …
