[Craig] wanted to build a 19.2 MHz crystal oscillator. He knew he wanted a Pierce oscillator, but he also knew that getting a good design is often a matter of trial ...

Crystal oscillators are often one of the last components that a designer thinks about, but the wrong part can quickly kill a design. Moreover, searching through a wide variety of available oscillators ...

Modern technology relies heavily on accurate timing as its fundamental basis, so that items of electronics all have coordinated functions. This applies across a wide range of industry sectors and, ...

The classic Schmitt-trigger-based RC oscillator is "hacked" and analyzed using the simulation software QSPICE.

Crystal oscillators are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, providing the precise timing necessary for communication, computation, and sensor network operations. Recent advances in ...

Last session, we use the cheap and cheerful 4046 Phase-locked Loop chip as a simple voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). It was dead simple, in fact, because the chip has a VCO already built in. There ...

Of all the low-frequency oscillator configurations, the Wien Bridge has to be the friendliest and easiest to get along with. Like a faithful dog, it behaves itself regardless of the weather, is not ...

To alleviate the drawbacks of quartz oscillator technology, classic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) materials are now being used to fabricate three-dimensional resonating structures. These ...
