Audio Oscillators

The circuit"s frequency of oscillation is/= 2.8/ [C1 x (R1 + R2)]. Using the values shown, the output frequency can be varied from 60 Hz to 20 kHz by rotating potentiometer R2. A portion of IC1"s output voltage is fed to its noninverting input at pin 3. The voltage serves as a reference for capacitor Cl, which is connected to the noninverting input at pin 2 of the IC. ..

Precision Audio Generator For Musical Instrument Tune-Up Circuit

One section of the precision audio frequency generator uses an electret microphone element to pick up audio from the piano. That signal is then processed and sent to one channel of a dual-trace oscilloscope. The other section of the circuit is used to produce a variable-frequency signal that is fed to a digital frequency counter...

Wien bridge oscillator

Field effect transistor, Ql, operates in the linear resistive region to provide automatic gain control. Because the attenuation of the RC network is one-third at the zero phase-shift oscillation frequency, the amplifier gain determined by resistor R2 and equivalent resistor R1 must be just equal to three to make up the unity gain positive feedback requirement needed for stable oscillation. Resistors R3 and R4 are set to approximately 1000 ohm less than the required R1.....

Phase shift oscillator

A single transistor makes a simple phase shift oscillator. The output is a sine wave with distortion of about 104. The sine wave purity can be increased by putting a variable resistor (25 ohms) in the emitter lead of Q1 (x). The resistor is adjusted so the circuit is only just oscillating, then the sine wave is relatively pure. Operating frequency may be varied by putting a 10 K variable resistor in series with R3, or by changing CI, C2, and C3..
