Square Oscillator Using Comparator: The Circuit Schematic Diagram and The Formula

circuit schematic

Using a single supply quad comparator LM339, LM239, LM2901, LM2901V, NCV2901, or MC3302, we can build a square-wave oscillator with simple circuit and formula. Here is the schematic diagram: This circuit is suitable if you needĀ  many square-wave oscillators in one circuit, since the quad packaged comparator provide four comparators in one singleĀ  [...]

Wien Bridge Oscillator: The Circuit Schematic Diagram and The Design Formula

circuit schematic

The excellent high input impedance, high slew rate, and high voltage qualities of CA3140 op-amp make it suitable for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator. The basic circuit for Wien-bridge sine wave oscillator is shown in the figure below (the upper part). You can see the formula in the figure, when R1=R2=R, and C1=C2=C, then the formula [...]

Notch Filter: The Circuit’s Diagram and The Design Formula

circuit schematic

Notch filter is known as band-cut filter or band-reject filter. The fuction of this filter is to remove some frequency portion of a signal. The schematic diagram of this filter circuit, a second order notch filter is depicted in the figure below. The formula is actually complicated, but by taking the R3=R4 and [...]

Sine Wave Oscillator Circuit Using Phase Shifter

circuit schematic

Sine wave oscillator can be implemented using Wien-Bridge oscillator like in our previous sine wave oscillator circuit, but now we present another method of generating sine wave signal. Using phase shifter, we can build a simple sine wave generator, as shown in the schematic diagram below: Sine wave oscillator using phase shifter has [...]

A Simple Metal Detector Circuit Using Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO)

circuit schematic

Metal Detector Circuit Topology One of the simplest method of metal detecting is by beat frequency oscillator. Basically, the circuit consist of two balanced oscillator. One oscillator provides the reference signal, and other oscillator is acting as the detector element. The reference oscillator’s frequency is fix, while the detector oscillator is variable depending on [...]

Quadrature Oscillator

circuit schematic

Quadrature oscillator generate two sine-wave signal, but one signal is shifted 90 degree from the other signal. One output that lead the other called cosine signal, and the other is called sine. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: This circuit is another type of pahase shift oscillator, with three phase shifter [...]
