Not having a 4046 at hand, and the data sheet is sorely lacking, could someone measure the voltages at pins 11 and 12, versus VCC?

--- I've got some 4046's in stock, and I'll give you one so you can do the legwork yourself and not have to rely on anyone else's possibly faulty data messing up your results. -- JF

Thanks!

Got delayed by paying work ;-) Could someone 'scope each end of the VCO timing cap (C1, pins 6 & 7) and tell me what they look like? (The block diagram implies a physical impossibility, so there's something limiting the pull-down switches to some voltage. A waveform will expose the "secret" :) Thanks! ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.
