GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ML2036 is a monolithic sine wave generator whose output is programmable from DC to 50kHz. No external components are required. The frequency of the sinewave output is derived from either an external crystal or clock input, providing a stable and accurate frequency reference. The frequency is programmed by a 16-bit serial data word.

FEATURES
