This circuit consists of a CMOS square wave oscillator on a frequency of approximately 1 kHz.
The RC filter, which has a roll-off frequency of 500 Hz, filters the harmonics, providing a sine-wave output.
The oscillator has many uses – sidetone circuits in transmitters and signal injectors for audio tests are just two.
