This oscillator requires no biasing components. Only an inductor and various matching or tuning capacitors are required to set the operating frequency. The active element is the 74HCU04 hex inverter. Only one of the six inverters is required for the oscillator another may be used as a buffer. A few oscillator circuits are presented, including

design procedures. Most HCMOS gates are buffered . In the case of buffered inverters like the 74HC04, a single inverter is constructed from three cascaded inverters. The HCU04 is much simpler with each inverter composed of one enhancement NMOSfet and one PMOSfet in totem-pole configuration. The NMOSfet`s gate and PMOSfet`s gate are tied together at the input pin, and their drains are tied together at the output pin. When biased mid-way between supply (Vcc) and ground, this structure is a reasonably linear amplifier. Open-loop gain is measured at 12. 5, with transconductance 0. 023 amps/volt. Output impedance measures 557 ohms. All are dependent on supply voltage (from a Philips data sheet): Since an oscillator`s input or output voltage will be swinging over a considerable range of the 5v supply voltage, the non-linear characteristics of the amplifying inverter have significant influence over the AC operating amplitude. Swings above Vcc or below ground are clamped by internal diodes and can cause latch-up of the device. Operation too close to the rails should be avoided. The onset of non-linearity such as reduced transconductance or reduced output impedance serve as the mechanism by which amplitude is stabilized every oscillator employs similar means of amplitude control. Of the basic oscillator types, the non-inverting types such as Hartley or Colpitts are not achievable with a single HCU04 amplifier. Pierce and Vackar are...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
