LZX 010 Clock VCO - Castle Video synth

The 010 Clock VCO is a square wave Voltage Controlled Oscillator with a linear response to CV.
It can be used as a clock source for modules such as the Shift Register and Counter.
You can switch between Horizontal and Vertical square waveforms
It looks like there are also high & low frequency ranges.
It might be useful to have more than one of these modules in your system.
This VCO is the 3rd module in the series and is in Eurorack format.

+12V Current Consumption: 9mA
-12V Current Consumption: 7mA
No +5V

It's 4HP and all through hole.
It doesn't require the 14 pin sync cable however the Vertical sync & Horizontal sync signals
enter the module via the power bus.
So you definitely need to use a 16pin power header.

This can be used with vidiot but as the Castle Clock VCO needs sync in the power bus  you'll need a sync generator (Cadet Sync Generator or V cortex) for that one.
Or you can sync from the front panel jack.

"It's a square wave vco, essentially. Prime for clocking logic". (Philip)

 tHE CD4046 - a phase locked loop vco

The 4046 is the core component. Its a PLL vco.
Totally different approach to the Cadet ramps & Cadet VCO

Ignore my placement of a 10 pin power header in the above pic. Use a 16 pin please.

Got tired of waiting on the jacks.
Decided to try the standard ones instead.

 ICs and impt components used:
CD4046BE ------- Phase Locked Loops - PLL PLL w/ VCO
LM6172IN/NOPB ---- Operational Amplifiers - Op Amps Dual High Speed,Low Pwr Amp
2N3904BU -------- Bipolar Transistors - BJT NPN Transistor General Purpose
