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 ...

Examine a traditional Hartley oscillator circuit, and you’ll note its trademark: a tapped inductor that determines the frequency of oscillation and provides oscillation-sustaining feedback. Although ...

Circuit VR is where we talk about a circuit and examine how it works in simulation with LT Spice. This time we are looking at a common low-frequency oscillator known as the Wien bridge oscillator.

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 ...

Using this Pierce-oscillator circuit, users can test and verify the basic operation of a crystal in parallel-resonance mode. It allows the user to calculate and set the critical external capacitor ...

Justin Mamaradlo takes a further look into the P2 op amp and how it functions, analyzing the oscillation and slew-rate characteristics of the venerable component. In Part 1, the basics of the P2 were ...
