Crystal Oscillator Using Transistor, Capable of Overtone Operation

circuit schematic

This circuit is a simple crystal oscillator that can be operated in overtone mode. Overtone mode permit the operation at higher frequency than specified by the crystal. The circuit uses a grounded base amplifier configuration, and place the crystal as a series resonator. The transistor Q1 is biased in the active region as [...]

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 [...]

Bubba Oscillator

circuit schematic

Bubba oscillator is another example of phase shift oscillator. The Bubba oscillator takes the advantage of quad op-amp package to get 45 degree phase shift for each section. The result is excellent d(phase)/d(t) to get very low frequency drift. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: Each RC section give 45 degree [...]

Sawtooth Wave Oscillator

circuit schematic

Sawtooth wave oscillator is used in cathode ray tube deflection circuitry, in a PWM modulator, or in a analog to digital conversion. You can also use it in your own design, only your imagination can limit its application. Here is one example of the circuit: The frequency is determined by C1, R1, R2, [...]

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 [...]
