The inexpensive 7404 hex-inverter has enough amplification to handle a wide range of transducers. Closing the key completes the battery circuit and applies four to five volts to the 7404. Bias for the first two inverter amps (U1a and U1b) comes from the two resistors, R1 and R2, connected between their inputs and outputs. The capacitor and rheostat (R3/C1) close the feedback loop from the input to the properly-phased output.
The signal leaving Ulb drives the remaining four inverter amplifiers, U1c through U1f; they, in turn, drive the phones or speakers. The volume control potentiometers, R4-R7, may have any value front 1500 ohms to 10,000 ohms. The smaller values work best when speakers, or low impedance phones, are used. (View)

The Colpitts sinusoidal oscillator provides stable output amplitude and frequency from 0°F to +150°F. In addition, output amplitude is large and harmonic distortion is low. Oscillation is sustained by feedback from the collector tank circuit to the emitter. The oscillator's frequency is determined by:
Potentiometer R3 is an output level control.
Control R1 may be used to adjust base bias for maximum-amplitude output. The circuit was operated at 50 kHz with L1 = 10mH, C1 = 3500 pF, and C2 1500 pF.

This very simple, low cost oscillator, is built with two CMOS buffer inverters, two capacitors and a variable resistance. The circuit can work with voltages ranging from 4 V up to 18 V. If C1 = C2, the frequency of oscillation, (ignoring the output and input impedance) is given by:
The graph in Fig. B shows how the output frequency varies with resistance when C1=C2=100 pF and C1=C2=2000 pF.

The circuit consists of a variable current Source that charges a capacitor, which is rapidly discharged by a Schmitt-trigger comparator, The sawtooth waveform thusproduced is fed to another comparator, one with a variable switching level. The outputfrom the second comparator is a pulse train with an independently adjustable frequencyand duty cycle. The variable-frequency ramp generator consists of capacitor C1, which is charged by a variable and nonlinear current source. The latter compnses a 2N2907A pnp transistor, plus resistor R1 and the potentiometer R2 Capacitor C2 eliminates any ripple or nolse at the base ofthe transistor that might cause frequency jitter at the output (View)

Low-cost NAND-gate sections A and B form low-cost oscillator for driving two Motorola MC6802 microprocessors.NAND gates C and D function as phase-locked loop, with D ensuring that phases of enable outputs are 180° apart. Small drifts in oscillator frequency do not affect synchronization. Circuit allows each MPU to operate during half-cycle that other MPU has disabled, to provide additional computing power of two microprocessors while maintaining system costs of onedata bus.-J.

This circuit operates as an oscillator and a timer. The 2N6028 is normally on due to excess holding current through the 100 k resistor.

In this circuit, there are two feedback paths around an op amp. One is positive dc feedback which forms a Schmitt trigger. The other is a CR timing network. Imagine that the output voltage is +10V. The voltage at the noninverting terminal is +15V.
The voltage at the inverting terminal is a rising voltage with a time constant of CTRT.
When this voltage exceeds + 5V, the op amp's output will go low and the Schmitt trigger action will make it snap into its negative state. Now the output is - 10 V and the voltage at the inverting terminal falls with the time constant as before. By changing this time constant with a variable resistor, a variable frequency oscillation may be produced. (View)
