Function generators often play a critical role in the design, testing, and operation of encoders, modulators, demodulators, and measurement instruments. Here`s an inexpensive way to build a bus-controlled sinewave oscillator that has downright low.... -
Signals with a know frequency but unknown phase may be detected using an in-phase and a 90 ° shifted reference signal, as frequently used in lock-in amplifiers, synchronous detectors, and frequency-response analyzers. The 90 °-shifted signal is called the.... -
In conventional triangular-wave oscillators, hysteresis from positive feedback in the Schmitt trigger determines the voltage levels and amplitude of the triangular waves. With this topology, it`s difficult to independently vary the voltage levels and....

A common problem in crystal sinusoidal oscillators is the excitation of unwanted modes of the quartz crystal that degrade the spectral purity of the oscillator. This problem is significant in overtone crystals, particularly if the oscillator is intended for....

It uses standard components, gives a good sine wave and is fairly immune to the type of op ampit is designed around. It can, however, be misunderstood, and over simplifications as to its operation can leave the designer thinking that it is not as well.... -
There is a great deal of old amateur gear which many amateurs have decided to restore and bring back to life. While much of the early amateur transceivers work just fine they usually lack a digital readout and must rely on analog dials for tuning. The.... -
In principle, the square wave oscillator doesn`t have to be a 555 timer, it could be a ring oscillator using inverters as you propose. In practice, using 4000 series CMOS logic for example, the negative output voltage produced would not be able to provide a.... -
As I`m working from a single power supply and I`m trying to keep the design small, I`ve been using the LM386n-1 IC. Also, how would you suggest I control the frequency, which component value should be changed to achieve this - I`ve tried messing with all the.... -
Using the 555 timer as an oscillator in the high voltage power supply section. Can the design be changed to use an output from the micro-controller to generate an oscillating signal instead of the 555. The first question is that would such a design work If.... -
The power supply varies, and the circuit must operate on under 10uA of current (not counting charging the cap). It triggers an SCR every 10-30 seconds as long as the power supply is above 1. 8VDC, and must operate across a range of 1. 8 and 7. 0 VDC. The.... -
Build a Wien bridge oscillator that oscillates at 2. 1kHz and that can be switched on by a transistor. The reason for me placing a transistor switch in the circuit is so that I can turn the oscillator on and off from a PIC MCU. However, when I build the.... -
Build an oscillator that will satisfy a few requirements. The main requirement is to have exactly one capacitor. Another one is to have high Q and sine wave output. I am considering Hartley`s oscillator design. Since it has only one cap. I don`t what to.... -
As far as we are concerned we are looking for a function generator or a VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator). We would love to know which specific component we need. EDIT: What we are actually trying to achieve is to make two sine sound waves. One is constant.... -
Will LC-based oscillator be able to show performance comparable to crystals in such conditions (probably in wierd variants like LC-opamp. so that any energy loss on each stage is recovered and we are getting narrower bandwidth) Look at some of the amateur.... -
Make a Oscillator circuit with a Op Amp and an crystal (7. 68 MHz) Similar to the one in the schematic below, but for a 7. 68 MHz crystal. I have the crystal, various Capacitors, Resistors and a couple of Op Amps. But no digital Logic chips. "LM111 is not an.... -
A transformer with 2 input leads and 3 output leads. I hooked up an LED to 2 of the output and put a dead AA battery on the input and the LED blinked for a second. I have no data on the transformer, but I am wondering if it is possible (and if so what is the.... -
The first problem is with the 16Mhz xtal the thing doesn`t even start to oscillate. But that`s a secondary problem. If I replace 16MHz xtal with a 11MHz one (or less) the oscillator starts. I can see with the `scope that I have a nice 11Mhz sinusoidal.... -
If you want a 1MHz square wave, I would suggest using a higher frequency crystal and dividing it down, for two reasons: (1) 4MHz crystals are apt to be cheaper and easier to find than 1MHz ones; (2) Getting a 50. 0000% duty cycle from a crystal is a bit.... -
Acquired an old Eistar SJ-1 Digital pulser. However the frequency it generates is always 66% of what its supposed to produce. Turns out that the frequency coming out of the frequency stage(at Pin 11)is 66% of the 16MHz crystal or about 10. 6MHz. (The 74LS38.... -
An Hartley Oscillator circuit can be made from a pair of series connected coils. I had a couple of 22mH fixed inductors, which I hooked up on a breadboard with the other needed pieces. When I test the transistor amplifier independently, it seems to be.... -
A phase shift oscillator, using a CE Amplifier. I have a Vc of approximately 6V, gain of approximately 40(>29, as required). I aim for an oscillation frequency of 1. 5 kHz... -
An Oscillator circuit which can produce a good sine wave with a frequency of at least 500 Mhz. This is for RFID applications. I have tried to use an class E oscillator, but i cant seem to get the design right. Can anyone help me out.. -
An op-amp based Colpitts oscillator in multisim. When I press run button it shows- "timestep too smaall error". I`ve googled and tried everything but it still shows the error. Not sure where you got that design, but as drawn your C-L-C pi circuit is grounded.... -
The first thing I need to know how C1 is related to resonance frequency f of the circuit. It seems like I can choose a frequency and I automatically get a needed value for C1. I have a lot of doubts I don`t know if the circuit constitutes a Colpitts or.... -
Program an ATmega1284p with my AVR Dragon and the Arduino IDE. So far I have installed mighty1284p, after writing my sketch. I compile it using the Arduino IDE and then cd into the (temporary) directory the sketch is build in. It contains the. hex file, as.... -
The circuit generates square and triangle wave. I wonder if I can add a couple of diodes and a potentiometer to be able to skew between triangle-ramp/saw and change the duty cycle of the square wave Is it that simple..
