This circuit generates a square-wave which is useful as a clock signal or AC drive for the excitation of sensors. this article presents a square-wave oscillator. This circuit requires no external components unless the bypass capacitor. Figure below shows the circuit, the output frequency and a scope shot of the output waveform. [...]

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 need  many square-wave oscillators in one circuit, since the quad packaged comparator provide four comparators in one single  [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

PLL oscillator is used to get very stable frequency woth very low distortion of sine wave output. The stability is equal to crystal-based oscillator, and the low distortion level of the sine wave output is equal to LC based oscillator. The method of PLL control in PLL oscillator is done by adjusting the frequency of [...]
