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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

In Part 1, the basics of the P2 were discussed through easy straightforward simulations in LTSPice. In this article, we delve further into the P2’s design. It hasn’t been easy investigating the nature ...

We’ve read a lot about oscillators, but crystal oscillators seem to be a bit of a mystery. Hobby-level books tend to say, build a circuit like this and then mess with it until it oscillates.

A research team from Peking University has successfully developed a vanadium oxide (VO₂)-based “locally active memristive ...
