IC 74LS624 - High Frequency TTL voltage-controlled clock generator


V+ = 5 Volts. If necessary for galvanic resons, analog and digital can have separate V+ power.
It has two inputs for voltage-control : FC and FR.
This is very convenient, because one input can have a potentiometer to set the frequency-range,
while the other can be the input (R) for a control voltage.
The output(s) can drive directly the clock input of most microprocessors.


If two VCO's are needed, there's the 124 type :

Only difference with the 624 type : no inversed output. Other lines function the same.
