Audio Frequency Generator or often known by AFG is a device electronics used to generate signals with audio frequency range. Audio Frequency Generator (AFG) in the market there are many variant, from the analog to the digital . Even the assembly also exists, in principle, AFG is the frequency generator with an audio range. Here is one set of Audio Frequency Generator (AFG) which can be a reference if you want to make a series of Audio Frequency Generator (AFG) . The series of Audio Frequency Generator (AFG) is to use IC L8038 as a signal generator it.

The series of Audio Frequency Generator (AFG) above has three output waveform that is, sine, square and triangle directly from the IC L8038. IC CD4066 and IC circuit Cd4017 a configuration circuit for waveform selector that can be set by pressing SW1. To adjust the working frequency is set by potentiometer R2.

Here is a simple frequency counter designed to monitor the 240VAC mains supply. It as a frequency range of 0-999Hz, so it could also be used with 400Hz equipment. Standard TTL/CMOS logic is employed for the counters and display drivers, while an ELM446 (IC1) generates accurate 1Hz pulses for gating. This device utilizes a 3.579545MHz crystal for its timebase, as commonly found in TV and video circuits and even on old PC motherboards.
