I'm not sure if this is possible to make but i need a square wave generator that is fairly simple.
It needs to be about nine volts in and out at about 50-150hz and has to have two outputs that are 90 deg out of phase from each other. I was looking at the lm555 timer but don't know how i could get two outputs.

Once set will the frequency be fixed or do you want it to be adjustable in the final circuit between 50 - 150 hz? How accurate does the 90 degree phase difference have to be? Can you use a micro-controller?
How about a simple astable as a clock running at four times your desired rate clocking two D flip flops wired as a four-state Johnson counter. The outputs of the the two flop are in quadrature.
I think the diodes on the schematic I previously linked to have been connected incorrectly. It looks like they're supposed to act as a limiter so they should be in reverse parallel.
Here's another digital idea:
You could use a two-bit counter and oscillator.
The XOR of both outputs and output B is quadrature.
This could easily be implemented using a CD4060 and an XOR gate.
you are correct with the truth table, and if you have A&B signals you can get as required. also i made a mistake on my diagram that its 45 phase shift not 90, small change on pin connection would offer 90.
