A friend says:
Linear Tech have introduced a family of devices packaged as 6-pin SOT-23's =
(and
as DFN's if you have masochistic tendencies) called TimerBlox.

These provide various simple timing-related functions.

The family (designated LTC699x) currently includes the following members:

LTC6990 =A0VCO (488 Hz to 2MHz)
LTC6991 =A0uHz clock (period from 1ms to 9.5 hrs)
LTC6992 =A0PWM (4 variants having different duty cycle ranges)
LTC6993 =A0one-shot (4 trigger variants, each 1us to 34s)
LTC6994 =A0delay (2 trigger variants, each 1us to 34s)

All are based on an internal low-power oscillator =A0- and I think control =
inputs
are analog in all cases.

Haven't looked at them in detail yet and being LT they won't be as cheap as=
 they
should be, but potentially useful in all sorts of applications.
