The ML2036 is a monolithic sine wave generator whose output is programmable from DC to 50kHz. No external components are required. The frequency of the sinewave output is derived from either an external crystal or clock input, providing a stable and accurate frequency reference. The frequency is programmed by a 16-bit serial data word. The ML2036 provides for a VOUT amplitude of either VREF or VREF/2. Also included with the ML2036 is an inhibit function which allows the sinewave output to be held at zero volts after completing the last half cycle of the sine wave in progress. Two digital clock outputs are provided to drive other devices with one half or one eighth of the input clock frequency.
