Many people who get analog electronics still struggle a bit to design oscillators. Even common simulators often need a trick to simulate some oscillating circuits. The Barkhausen criteria state that ...

How do you test the oscillator circuit you just made that runs between 200MHz and 380MHz if all you have is a 100MHz oscilloscope, a few multimeters and a DC power supply? One answer is to put away ...

This application note presents the need to use an external Pierce oscillator to replace the RTC oscillator circuit that makes EP93xx susceptible to on-chip noises. It describes the implementation of ...

A square wave oscillator can be used as a low-cost time reference or supervisory clock source. The square wave oscillator shown in the application circuit is created with a single comparator (TLV3201) ...

Low phase noise oscillators are critical components in modern communication, sensing and radar systems, where extreme frequency stability is paramount. These oscillators offer superior performance by ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

A simple, but versatile way of generating so-called “chaotic signals” with various features has been developed by a team from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. The technique involves interconnecting ...
