Understanding Crystal Oscillator Circuits
Crystal oscillators are electronics devices that produce stable, accurate, and repeated signals that are widely employed in a wide range of electronic applications. Because of their great stability, precision, and low noise, they have become a crucial component in many electronic circuits. In this post, we will look at how crystal oscillators function, as well […]
Phase Shift Oscillator Circuits – Wien-Bridge, Buffered, Quadrature, Bubba
A phase-shift oscillator is an oscillator circuit designed to generate a sinewave output. It operates with a single active element such as a BJT or an op amp configured in an inverting amplifier mode. The circuit arrangement creates a feedback from the output to the input through using an RC (resistor/capacitor) circuit arranged in a […]
Simple Colpitts Oscillator Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how LC oscillator circuits functions and we will be constructing one of the popular LC based oscillator – Colpitts oscillator. What are Oscillators Electronic oscillators are used in most of our daily used electronic gadgets ranging from digital clock to high end core i7 processor. Oscillators are heart of […]
How Blocking Oscillator Works
A blocking oscillator is one of the simplest form of oscillators which is able to produce self sustaining oscillations through the use of just a few passive and a single active component. The name “blocking” is applied due to fact that the switching of the main device in the form of a BJT is blocked […]
