The μA2240 consists of four basic circuit elements: (1) a time-base oscillator, (2) an eight-bit countqr, (3) a control flip-flop, and (4) a voltage regulator. The basic frequency of the time-base oscillator (TBO) is set by the external time constant determined by the values of R1 and C1 (R1C1 = 2 kHz). The open-collector output of the TBO is connected to the regulator output via a 20 k ohm pull-up resistor, and drives the input to the eight-bit counter. At power-up, a positive trigger pulse is detected across C2 which starts the TB0 and sets all counter outputs to a low state. Once the μA2240 is initially triggered, any further trigger inputs are ignored until it is reset. In this astable operation, the μA2240 will free-run from the time it is triggered until it receives an external reset signal. Up to 255 discrete frequencies can be synthesized by connecting different counter outputs.
