Voltage Controlled Oscillator NE566
The NE566 is a voltage-controlled oscillator or frequency generator IC. It is a component used in integrated, analog electronic circuits and is often used in frequency modulation, sound reproduction, or timer applications.
The NE566 is typically available in an 8-pin DIP (Dual Inline Package) or SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package. The integrated includes a voltage-controlled oscillator circuit internally and requires minimal connection to external components.
Here are some technical specifications of the NE566 in particular:
Operating voltage: 10V to 36V (usually a single power supply is used)
Output frequency range: 0.01 Hz to 500 kHz (adjustable)
Output waveform: Square wave or pulse wave
Frequency control: Provided by voltage control (VCO - Voltage Controlled Oscillator)
Amplitude control: Amplitude can be adjusted
Input resistance: Provides high input resistance
Output high current capability: About 10 mA
Low source resistance: Output resistance is low
Temperature stability: Provides good temperature stability
NE566 is an IC that is generally used in analog electronics projects. It is especially ideal for frequency controlled applications and can be used in oscillator, timer or frequency modulation circuits that require design. It is recommended to get more technical information by examining the datasheet of the integrated and to see the necessary circuit diagrams for their applications.
There is also SMD (Surface Mount Device) type of NE566 IC. The NE566 SMD version is usually included in the SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package. The SOIC package can be easily soldered onto a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) thanks to its small size and surface mountable design.
The specifications of the NE566 SMD version are generally similar to the DIP (Dual Inline Package) version. However, there may be some differences in soldering and circuit design as the package type and connection layout are different.
