GENERAL DESCRIPTION The XR-2206 is a monolithic function generator integrated circuit capable of producing high quality sine, square, triangle, ramp, and pulse waveforms of high-stability and accuracy. The output waveforms can be both amplitude and frequency modulated by an external voltage. Frequency of operation can be selected externally over a range of 0.01Hz to more than 1MHz. The circuit is ideally suited for communications, instrumentation, and function generator applications requiring sinusoidal tone, AM, FM, or FSK generation. It has a typical drift specification of 20ppm/C. The oscillator frequency can be linearly swept over a 2000:1 frequency range with an external control voltage, while maintaining low distortion.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The XR-2206 is comprised of four functional blocks; a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), an analog multiplier and sine-shaper; a unity gain buffer amplifier; and a set of current switches. The VCO produces an output frequency proportional to an input current, which is set by a resistor from the timing terminals to ground. With two timing pins, two discrete output frequencies can be independently produced for FSK generation applications by using the FSK input control pin. This input controls the current switches which select one of the timing resistor currents, and routes it to the VCO.

Frequency-Shift Keying: The XR-2206 can be operated with two separate timing resistors, R1 and R2, connected to the timing Pin 7 and 8, respectively, as shown in Figure 13. Depending on the polarity of the logic signal at Pin 9, either one or the other of these timing resistors is activated. If Pin 9 is open-circuited or connected to a bias voltage  2V, only R1 is activated. Similarly, if the voltage level at Pin 9 is 1V, only R2 is activated. Thus, the output frequency can be keyed between two levels. f1 and f2, as: f1 = 1/R1C and f2 = 1/R2C For split-supply operation, the keying voltage at Pin 9 is referenced to V-. Output DC Level Control: The dc level at the output (Pin 2) is approximately the same as the dc bias at Pin 3. In Figure 11., Figure 12. and Figure 13., Pin 3 is biased midway between V+ and ground, to give an output dc level of  V+/2.
Rev. 1.02 10

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Sine Wave Generation Without External Adjustment:

Figure 11. shows the circuit connection for generating a sinusoidal output from the XR-2206. The potentiometer, R1 at Pin 7, provides the desired frequency tuning. The maximum output swing is greater than V+/2, and the typical distortion (THD) is < 2.5%. If lower sine wave distortion is desired, additional adjustments can be provided as described in the following section.
The circuit of Figure 11. can be converted to split-supply operation, simply by replacing all ground connections with V-. For split-supply operation, R3 can be directly connected to ground.

XR-2206
With External Adjustment: The harmonic content of sinusoidal output can be reduced to -0.5% by additional adjustments as shown in Figure 12. The potentiometer, RA, adjusts the sine-shaping resistor, and RB provides the fine adjustment for the waveform symmetry. The adjustment procedure is as follows: 1. Set RB at midpoint and adjust RA for minimum distortion. 2. With RA set as above, adjust RB to further reduce distortion. and can be adjusted by varying either R or C. The recommended values of R, for a given frequency range, as shown in Figure 5. Temperature stability is optimum for 4kW < R < 200kW. Recommended values of C are from 1000pF to 100mF. Frequency Sweep and Modulation: Frequency of oscillation is proportional to the total timing current, IT, drawn from Pin 7 or 8: PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Description of Controls Frequency of Operation: The frequency of oscillation, fo, is determined by the external timing capacitor, C, across Pin 5 and 6, and by the timing resistor, R, connected to either Pin 7 or 8. The frequency is given as:

f 0 + 1 Hz RC

Triangle Wave Generation The circuits of Figure 11. and Figure 12. can be converted to triangle wave generation, by simply open-circuiting Pin 13 and 14 (i.e., S1 open). Amplitude of the triangle is approximately twice the sine wave output.

FSK Generation

f+

320I T (mA) Hz C(mF)

Figure 13. shows the circuit connection for sinusoidal FSK signal operation. Mark and space frequencies can be independently adjusted by the choice of timing resistors, R1 and R2; the output is phase-continuous during transitions. The keying signal is applied to Pin 9. The circuit can be converted to split-supply operation by simply replacing ground with V-.

Timing terminals (Pin 7 or 8) are low-impedance points, and are internally biased at +3V, with respect to Pin 12. Frequency varies linearly with IT, over a wide range of current values, from 1mA to 3mA. The frequency can be controlled by applying a control voltage, VC, to the activated timing pin as shown in Figure 10. The frequency of oscillation is related to VC as:

NO TAG shows the circuit for pulse and ramp waveform generation. In this mode of operation, the FSK keying terminal (Pin 9) is shorted to the square-wave output (Pin 11), and the circuit automatically frequency-shift keys itself between two separate frequencies during the positive-going and negative-going output waveforms. The pulse width and duty cycle can be adjusted from 1% to 99% by the choice of R1 and R2. The values of R1 and R2 should be in the range of 1kW to 2MW.
Rev. 1.02 11

where VC is in volts. The voltage-to-frequency conversion gain, K, is given as:

K + fV C + 0.32 HzV R CC
CAUTION: For safety operation of the circuit, IT should be limited to  3mA.

XR-2206
Output Amplitude: Maximum output amplitude is inversely proportional to the external resistor, R3, connected to Pin 3 (see Figure 3.) For sine wave output, amplitude is approximately 60mV peak per kW of R3; for triangle, the peak amplitude is approximately 160mV peak per kW of R3. Thus, for example, R3 = 50kW would produce approximately 13V sinusoidal output amplitude. Amplitude Modulation: Output amplitude can be modulated by applying a dc bias and a modulating signal to Pin 1. The internal impedance at Pin 1 is approximately 100kW. Output amplitude varies linearly with the applied voltage at Pin 1, for values of dc bias at this pin, within 14 volts of VCC/2 as shown in Figure 6. As this bias level approaches VCC/2, the phase of the output signal is reversed, and the amplitude goes through zero. This property is suitable for phase-shift keying and suppressed-carrier AM generation. Total dynamic range of amplitude modulation is approximately 55dB.
CAUTION: AM control must be used in conjunction with a well-regulated supply, since the output amplitude now becomes a function of VCC.
