Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) Oscillator

circuit schematic

This is Operational an Amplifier (Op-Amp) Oscillator circuit. This circuit has some advantages, they are this circuit can be operated at low frequencies with relatively small capacitors, it has a completely-symmetrical output waveform along with a buffered output and it will always self start and cannot hang up because there is less dc positive feedback [...]

Colpitts Crystal Oscillator

circuit schematic

Crystal Colpitts oscillator can be implemented using a transistor and a parallel mode crystal. Here is the schematic diagram of  the circuit: In this circuit, the crystal acts as an inductance. A large value capacitive divider is used between gate, source, and ground, and a small series capacitor is placed in the crystal [...]

High Frequency Colpitts Crystal Oscillator

circuit schematic

Op-amps has been widely used in low frequency oscillator (frequency <= 100kHz), but we can actually use it for high frequency crystal oscillator as long as we have an op-amp with the proper bandwidth. An excellent gain stages can be implemented using LT1190 and LT1191 op-amps. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: [...]

Pulse Generator (Oscillator) With Adjustable On-Off Period Using CA3130 Op-Amp

circuit schematic

One of the interesting features of CA3130 op-amp  is its high input resistance, because using such high  input resistance, we can build an astable multivibrator with high R/C ratios. The figure below shows the circuit’s schematic diagram, you can see the variable resistors to adjust the “on” and “off” periods independently. Resistors R1and [...]

Stable Low Frequency Crystal Oscillator

circuit schematic

This is a Colpitts-crystal oscillator circuit. It is suitable for low frequency crystal oscillator circuits. Using the 2N3823 JFET, this circuit has excellent stability because the temperature will not vary the 2N3823 JFET circuit loading. Here is the circuit : [Source: National Semiconductor Application Note]

Current Amplifier Using CA3140 Op-Amp

circuit schematic

Current amplifier application need very low input bias current, and CA3140 is one of suitable op-amps for this purpose. The circuit’s schematic diagram is shown in the figure below. In the circuit, low current is supplied at the input potential as the power supply to load resistor RL. When the load current is [...]
