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 [...]

Simple Stand-Alone Voltage-to-Frequency Converter Using LM231/LM331

circuit schematic

Using LM231/331 chip, we can build a low-cost voltage-to-frequency converter, ideal for analog-to-digital conversion, frequency-to-voltage conversion, long-term integration, linear frequency modulation-demodulation, and many other functions.  When it’s used as voltage-to-frequency converter, the output will be a pulse train with frequency linearly equal to the applied input voltage. For higher level of accuracy against temperature drift, [...]
