SN74S124: Functions of the pins

Part Number: SN74S124

Hi Team,

A customer would like to know the functions of the pins of SN74S124 because the datasheet has very limited information.

Regards,

Danilo

  • Hi Danilo

    The SN74S124 is a dual voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with isolated supply and ground for the internal oscillator (isolated from the control circuitry).

    I pulled some information from an old logic data book (https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/scyd013b/scyd013b.pdf)

    The "FREQUENCY CONTROL" and "RANGE" pins take a 1V to 5V input.

    The "Cext" pins should be connected to either side of a capacitor to provide the frequency range for operation. Capacitor size determines the base output frequency as per figure 1 of the datasheet.

    The input voltages at "FREQUENCY CONTROL" and "RANGE" will shift the base frequency as per the graph in figure 2 of the datasheet.

    I think everything else is fairly self-explanatory, If you need me to go into details on anything, please let me know.

  • Hi Team,

    The customer wants to know the functions of pins, specifically pins FC, RNG, CX1, CX2 and OSC.
