Alfa Rpar - AS3340 - Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)

Product information "Alfa Rpar - AS3340 - Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)"
The AS 3340 and AS 3345 are completely self contained, precision voltage controlled oscillators, featuring both exponential and linear control scales and up to four buffered output waveforms: triangle, sawtooth, square, and pulse with voltage controllable pulse width. Full temperature compensation makes these VCOs extremely stable, and eliminates the need for a temperature compensation resistor. The highly accurate exponential and linear control inputs are virtual ground summing nodes, allowing multiple control voltages to be mixed within the device itself.
Also included is provision for hard and soft synchronization of the frequency, and an output for easy adjustment of high
frequency tracking. Special care in the design ensures oscillation start-up under any power-on sequence and supply
Conditions.

Features:
• Large Sweep Range: 500,000:1
• Fully Temperature Compensated

Safety Instructions for Electronic and Mechanical Components

Intended Use:
• Electronic components, including potentiometers, knobs, switches, connectors, resistors, capacitors or integrated circuits (ICs), are designed for use in electronic circuits and devices.
• Use these components only for their intended purposes in electrical and electronic applications, according to their specified voltage, current, and environmental conditions.
• Any use outside the intended applications may result in malfunction or safety risks.


Handling and Installation

Installation:
• Handle electronic components with appropriate tools, such as tweezers, to avoid physical damage or exposure to electric shock.
• Ensure that the components are installed in the correct orientation and according to manufacturer specifications to avoid malfunction or damage to the circuit.

Storage:
• Store components in a dry, cool, and static-free environment to avoid damage from moisture, extreme temperatures, or electrostatic discharge (ESD).
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, which could affect component stability and performance.

Protection from Static Electricity:
• Use antistatic equipment (e.g., wrist straps, ESD mats) when handling electronic components to prevent electrostatic discharge, which can damage sensitive devices like ICs.

Compatibility:
• Make sure electronic components are compatible with the circuit in terms of voltage, current, and other technical specifications.


Warnings

Electrical Shock Hazard:
• Some components can retain charge even when disconnected. Use appropriate tools and take precautions when handling components to minimize the risk of electric shock.

Burn or Fire Risk:
• Overloading or misusing electronic components may result in overheating, which could lead to burning or fires. Ensure that components are used within their specified voltage and current ratings.

Danger from Misuse:
• Incorrect handling or use outside specified limits can damage the components or affect the performance and functionality of connected devices. Only use components within their specified tolerances and conditions.

Choking Hazard:
• Small electronic components can pose a choking hazard if swallowed. Keep components out of reach of children.
