ELM460 Datasheet (ELM) - Impossible Oscillator

ELM460, Impossible Oscillator

The ELM460 is a complete astable oscillator circuit in an 8 pin package.

The circuit (impossibly!) requires no external components to operate, as all timing is generated internally.

Immediately after power-up, the ELM460 begins to oscillate continuously at a frequency determined by the logic levels

ELM460 Features
