Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have found the answer to my project satisfactorily from your guidance suggestions.

You're welcome.

Did you end up using any of the IC's from your list? I would have used a 555 timer, 4 flip flops and some AND and OR gates.

 

Just a little post thread note...

It is easy to create an oscillator from either two 2 input nor gates or two 2 input nand gates, and a capacitor or two and maybe a resistor. These have been around as long back as i can remember, 1972 or probably before that. The only trick is picking the right capacitor value(s) that get it to work without stressing the gate outputs too much yet still be able to drive the inputs and get to the right frequency as well. If you have to use a smaller capacitor than you really would like to, then you have to include a divider circuit to divide down the frequency until you get to the required frequency. My first frequency generator board used this idea, but i used a crystal instead of a capacitor for the timing and an additional coupling capacitor, then divided the signal down to 1/2 Hz with binary and divide by 10 chips. Got lots of different frequencies that way out of the various stages of the divide chips. Started with a 2MHz crystal but you can go lower or higher as needed as long as the first divider chips can operate at the required frequency.
The board was about 6 by 8 inches custom etched for experimental circuits. I still have it maybe i'll take a pic. That was back around 1975 ha ha when standard TTL was still being used a lot for a lot of things. I might have upgraded to the LS series later cant remember offhand been years since i needed it.

Thanks for your contribution! Looking forward to the details for this way!
