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 low-distortion oscillator is necessary for testing today'sADCs (analog-to-digital converters) that have resolution higher than 20 ...

Form the wire into a Lecher line. That’s just what I did when I wanted to test my oscillator circuit based around the Mini-Circuits POS-400+ voltage controlled oscillator chip (PDF).

Tradeoffs: MEMS vs. Crystal Oscillators Figures 1a and 1b show block diagrams of a MEMS oscillator and a crystal oscillator circuit. The MEMS oscillator is more complicated.

In interaction designer [Leonardo Amico]’s work Processing Decay, lettuce is used as an input to produce sound as an element within a CMOS circuit. We’ve all seen lemons and potatoes doubling ...

Electronic circuits, known as crystal oscillators use the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal to generate incredibly precise and stable frequencies.

Finally, for the first time, ring oscillator circuits were reported based on stacked silicon nanowire FETs, including dual work function metal gates for threshold voltage control. Imec has also ...

For the 32kHz version, the CMOS includes a TCXO (temperature-compensated crystal oscillator) circuit. Power consumption at 32kHz is typically 500nA (1µAmax), which changes only imperceptibly with ...
