RS Components and Farnel-Newark have discontinued the stock for ICL8038. Therefore need to find a replacement for the IC. Pls advise an equivalent or better IC... Thanks.
Probably the closest equivalent would be the MAX038 IC: **broken link removed**
The output frequency can be controlled over a frequency range of 0.1Hz to 20MHz, plus some other new features, however, this is not pin-to-pin replacement ..
(Try MAXIM-IC for free samples)
