The AS3340A is Alfa’s version of the CEM3340 IC. The AS3340A is a completely self-contained, precision voltage controlled oscillator, 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.

An on-chip 7.4 volt Zener diode allows the device to operate off ±15 volt supplies, as well as +12, -5 volt supplies. For voltages greater than -7.5 volts, a series current limiting resistor REE must be added between pin 3 and the negative supply. Its value is calculated as follows:
REE = (VEE - 7.4) / .008

To minimize self-heating and improve thermal-stability it is recommended to keep VEE = -5V (external power supply).

External VEE also minimizes current through GND and improves VCO stability. Scale1 and Scale2 pins are used for trimming of thermo-compensation circuit. Resistor RZ, connected to Scale 1 pin, should provide the same current as current (approx.. 100 uA) flowing in Scale2 pin determined by resistor RT = 5.72k. Rs , resistor connected to pin Scale, is intended to trim V/oct range. AS3340A is an improved version of AS3340. AS3340A has much more output frequency stability against Vcc and VEE . Frequency stability can be improved If external reference voltage (with level approximately ⅓ Vcc) is connected to pin 9 (Soft Sync. Input). AS3340A benefits from improved symmetry of rising and falling edge of triangle signal (approx.. 50%).

The AS3340A is available in a 16-pin DIP package.
