Sometimes the best projects are the simple, quick hits. Easily designed, fast to build, and bonus points for working right the first time. Such projects very often lead to bigger and better things, ...

Using my Multisim SPICE tool to analyze an oscillator, I ran into a little bit of simulation trouble. My circuit was a simple Colpitts oscillator and the simulation showed that it would indeed ...

Crystal oscillators are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, providing the precise timing necessary for communication, computation, and sensor network operations. Recent advances in ...

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 ...

If there’s one thing that amateur radio operators are passionate about, it’s the search for the perfect sine wave. Oscillators without any harmonics are an important part of spectrum hygiene, and ...

Let us get down to basics. Conceptionally, a ring oscillator is a deceptively simple self-oscillating electronic oscillator that consists of a series of several inverters, where the output of each ...
