    INTRODUCTION Assembly of your FG-600 Function Generator will prove to be an exciting project and give much satisfication and personal achievement. The FG-600 contains a complete function generator capable of producing sine, square and triangle wave forms. The frequency of this generator can be contiuously varied from 1Hz to 1MHz in 6 steps.
  • Page 4 CONSTRUCTION Introduction The most important factor in assembling your FG-600K Function Generator Kit is good soldering techniques. Using the proper soldering iron is of prime importance. A small pencil type soldering iron of 25 - 40 watts is recommended. The tip of the iron must be kept clean at all times and well tinned.
  • Page 5 Assemble Surface Mount Components The most important factor in assembling your FG-600 Function Generator Kit is good soldering techniques. Using the proper soldering iron is of prime importance. A small pencil type iron of 10-15 watts is recommended. A sharply pointed tip is essential when soldering surface mount components. The tip of the iron should be kept clean and well tinned at all times.
  • Page 6 ASSEMBLE COMPONENTS TO THE PC BOARD Care must be given to identifying the proper components and in good soldering habits. Refer to the soldering tips section in this manual before you begin installing the components. Place a check mark in the box each step is complete.

    In each of the following steps, start with the switch and pots as shown on the previous page. 2) OUTPUT WAVEFORMS Connect an oscilloscope probe to the square wave output. You should see about 8V peak to peak square wave of a little over 15Hz.
  • Page 12: Functional Description

    FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The FG-600 is a function generator integrated circuit capable of producing high quality sine, triangle, and square waves of high stability and accuracy. A picture of each waveform is shown below: Sine Wave THEORY OF OPERATION The heart of the FG-600 Function Generator is the XR-2206 monolithic function generator integrated circuit.
  • Page 13 CONTROLS RANGE SWITCHES Six ranges of frequency are provided by the range switch as shown in Table 1. POSITION SINE/TRIANGLE SWITCH This SINE/TRIANGLE Switch selects the waveform, sine wave or triangle wave, sent to the SINE/TRIANGLE output terminal. FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER The multiplier is a variable control allowing frequency settings between fixed ranges.
