No, they're likely already there! The issue is getting the INFORMATION regarding their availability to the OP!

Another option is to run the 4046 eight or 16 times faster than the sine wave frequency you need, divided it down by eight or sixteen, to get a square wave of the desired frequency, and clock the slower square wave through an eight or sixteen stage shift register at the faster clock rate.

By tacking the right resistor values onto the taps on the shift register , and running all the resistors into a summing junction you can make finite impulse response low pass filter and get a pretty clean sine wave over quite a wide range of frequencies, You use up a lot of E96 value O.1% resistors, and you have to worry about putting a Hamming window on your sinc function resistor vales to suppress Gibbs oscillations, but it can make a nice sine wave over a wide range of frequencies.
