Features

The XR-2206 board is based on the XR-2206, which is a single IC function generator. The board adds the external parts to make a sine wave generator capable of being controlled from the High Voltage Digital Pot or the High Voltage Digital Pot 2 board. This allows a microcontroller to digitally set the frequency of the output.

XR-2206 IC

The XR-2206 can generate a low distortion sine wave well above and below the audio frequency range. The Exar XR-2206 is no longer manufactured, but it is widely available on ebay from China.

The XR-2206 is a monolithic function generator integrated circuit capable of producing high quality sine, square, triangle, ramp, and pulse waveforms of high-stability and accuracy. The output waveforms can be both amplitude and frequency modulated by an external voltage. Frequency of operation can be selected externally over a range of 0.01Hz to more than 1MHz

Rev X3 Board

  • This is the third revision of the board
  • Built onto the IntegTheremin board

Rev X3 Mounting Holes

The board has three 4-40 mounting holes for either mounting horizontally with standoffs or vertically with an L bracket.

Rev X3 improvements over X2 version

Replaced Waveform adjust fixed resistors with 25K variable resistor (RV1). Split GVS header (J1) into GV and GS headers for separate power (J1) versus outputs (J3). Added a 3rd mounting hole.

Connectors

The connectors are two pin 2.54mm (0.1") pitch headers.

J1 - Power

  1. +12VDC
  2. GND

J2 - Pot/Frequency Adjust

  1. GND
  2. Adjust

J3 - Output

  1. VCO Out
  2. GND

Rev X2 Connectors

J1 is Power/signal control circuit connected as GVS (Ground, Voltage (+12V), and signal output).

  1. Ground
  2. Voltage (+12V)
  3. Sine wave output

J2 is the connection to an external pot.

Rev X1 Board Issues

  • VGS silkscreen s/b GVS
  • Resistors are 1/8W leaving this point alone since it's small and I bought 1/8W resistors already
  • Dropped ground plane from .020 to .012"
  • Need pin 3 connections.
  • R1 s/b 10K
  • Changed C1, was 1uF, s/b 0.1uF
  • Pin 3 is missing waveform adjustment resistors
