Easy-to-use oscillator sells for under $1

The TS3002 is claimed the first single-supply CMOS oscillator fully specified to operate at 1 V while consuming a 1 µA supply current at an output frequency of 25 kHz. When compared against industry-standard 555-timer-based products, this silicon timer offers up to a 93% reduction in PCB area and 4x lower power consumption.

The part is simple to program. The timer frequency is set with just one resistor and one capacitor. Housed in the TDFN-8 package, the part offers a frequency out period drift of 0.044%/°C and a PWM output duty cycle range of 12% to 90%.(From $0.90 ea/1,000 — available now)
