net-current I and the voltage across it drops linearly with time. When it has reached the level of comparator #2 (set at 1/3 of the supply voltage), the flip-flop is triggered into its original state and the cycle starts again. Four waveforms are readily obtainable from this basic generator circuit. With the current sources set at I and 2I respectively, the charge and discharge times are equal. Thus a triangle waveform is created across the capacitor and the flip-flop produces a square wave. Both waveforms are fed to buffer stages and are available at pins 3 and 9.
ICL8038
The levels of the current sources can, however, be selected over a wide range with two external resistors. Therefore, with the two currents set at values different from I and 2I, an asymmetrical sawtooth appears at Terminal 3 and pulses with a duty cycle from less than 1% to greater than 99% are available at Terminal 9. The sine wave is created by feeding the triangle wave into a nonlinear network (sine converter). This network provides a decreasing shunt impedance as the potential of the triangle moves toward the two extremes.
RA C C 1/3 V SUPPLY R A CV t 1 = ------------- = ------------------------------------------------------------------ = ----------------0.22 V SUPPLY 0.66 I
The falling portion of the triangle and sine wave and the 0 state of the square wave is:
t2 R R C C 1/3V SUPPLY A B CV = ------------ = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = ------------------------------------V 1 V 0.66 ( 2R A R ) SUPPLY SUPPLY B 2 ( 0.22 ) ----------------------- 0.22 ----------------------R B R A
Thus a 50% duty cycle is achieved when RA = RB. If the duty cycle is to be varied over a small range about 50% only, the connection shown in Figure 3B is slightly more convenient. A 1k potentiometer may not allow the duty cycle to be adjusted through 50% on all devices. If a 50% duty cycle is required, a 2k or 5k potentiometer should be used. With two separate timing resistors, the frequency is given by:
1 1 f = --------------- = -----------------------------------------------------t1 + t2 RB RA C ------------ 1 + ------------------------- 0.66 2R A R B
Waveform Timing
The symmetry of all waveforms can be adjusted with the external timing resistors. Two possible ways to accomplish this are shown in Figure 3. Best results are obtained by keeping the timing resistors RA and RB separate (A). RA controls the rising portion of the triangle and sine wave and the 1 state of the square wave. The magnitude of the triangle waveform is set at 1/3 VSUPPLY; therefore the rising portion of the triangle is,

Neither time nor frequency are dependent on supply voltage, even though none of the voltages are regulated inside the integrated circuit. This is due to the fact that both currents and thresholds are direct, linear functions of the supply voltage and thus their effects cancel.
Reducing Distortion
To minimize sine wave distortion the 82k resistor between pins 11 and 12 is best made variable. With this arrangement distortion of less than 1% is achievable. To reduce this even further, two potentiometers can be connected as shown in Figure 4; this configuration allows a typical reduction of sine wave distortion close to 0.5%.

Typical Applications
The sine wave output has a relatively high output impedance (1k Typ). The circuit of Figure 6 provides buffering, gain and amplitude adjustment. A simple op amp follower could also be used.

To obtain a 1000:1 Sweep Range on the ICL8038 the voltage across external resistors RA and RB must decrease to nearly zero. This requires that the highest voltage on control Pin 8 exceed the voltage at the top of RA and RB by a few hundred mV. The Circuit of Figure 8 achieves this by using a diode to lower the effective supply voltage on the ICL8038. The large resistor on pin 5 helps reduce duty cycle variations with sweep. The linearity of input sweep voltage versus output frequency can be significantly improved by using an op amp as shown in Figure 10.

With a dual supply voltage the external capacitor on Pin 10 can be shorted to ground to halt the ICL8038 oscillation. Figure 7 shows a FET switch, diode ANDed with an input strobe signal to allow the output to always start on the same slope.
