LM566 alternative.

[Kevin Glover]

I have benn trying to find a decent alternative to the LM566 VCO. It
does not seem to be sold anymore at reputable sellers and the ones on
EBay (from China) I don't trust to be authentic or unrecycled. Does
anyone know of a 8 to 16 pin alternative (just square and triangle
out) that won't break the bank.
Thanks

Look for a XR2206 or ICL8038. They are both old chips and may or may
not still be around.

Isn't that the I.C. that was used to descramble TV back in the late
'70s? If so, it wasn't available from any know dealer by 1980.

That was the NE565 PLL. The LM566 is a 8-pin VCO with square-wave and
triangle-wave output.

It was over 30 years ago that people were bugging me to find it for
them, so I wasn't sure. It wasn't advertised by any of the wholesalers I
used, so I told them to look for it, for themselves.
