AUDIO_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/6 21:26:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes A Wien bridge oscillator produces sine waves with very low distortion level. The Wien bridge oscillator produces zero phase shift at only one frequency (f=1/2π RC) which will be the oscillation frequency. Stable oscillation can occur only if the loop gain remains at unity at the oscillation frequency. The circuit achieves this control by using the positive temperature coefficient of a small lamp to regulate gain (Rf/RLAMP) as the oscillator attempts to vary its output. The oscillator shown here has four frequency bands covering about 15 Hz to 150 kHz. The frequency is continuously variable within each frequency range with ganged 20 k ohm potentiometers. The oscillator draws only about 4.0 mA from the 9-V batteries. Its output is from 4 to 5 V with a 10 k ohm load and the Rf (feedback resistor) is set at about 5% below the point of clipping. As shown, the center arm of the 5 k ohm output potentiometer is the output terminal. To couple the oscillator to a dc type circuit, a capacitor should be inserted in series with the output lead.   (View)

OSCILLATOR_CLOCK_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/6 21:04:00 Author:May

This self-starting fixed-frequency oscillator circuit gives excellent frequency stability. R1 and C1 comprise the frequency-determining network, while R2 provides the regenerative feedback.Diode D1 enhances the stability by compensating for the difference between VOH and VSUPPLY. In applications where a precision clock generator up to 100 kHz is required, such as in automatic test equipment, C1 might be replaced by a crystal.   (View)

5_kHz_PHOTOCELL_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/6 6:04:00 Author:May

Provides 5-V pulses at about 5 kHz only if photocell is illuminated by its companion LED. Repetition rate varies with illumination, so interruption or attenuation of light produces easily detected frequency change that can be used as control signal. Applications include fail-safe interruption monitor and illumination transducer. Oscillation stops if beam is completely interrupted or if strong ambient light falls on photocell.-H. L. Hardy, FM Pulsed Photocell Is Foolproof, EDN Magazine, March 5, 1975, p 72.   (View)

5_MHz_VFO

Published:2009/7/6 5:23:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes AJFET (Q1) serves as the oscillator. D2 helps to stabilize the transistor by limiting positive sinewave peaks and stabilizing the bias. Output from Q1 is supplied to a class A buffer, Q2. It operates as a broadband amplifter by means of T1, which is untuned. Output amplifter Q3 is also a class A stage. A low-pass, single-section ftlter is used at the output of Q3 to remove some of the harmonic currents generated within the system.The ftlter output impedance is 50 ohms. The injection level to the mixer is 600 mV p-p.   (View)

3_20_MHz_CRYSTAL

Published:2009/7/6 0:51:00 Author:May

Circuit is series-mode oscillator, but parallel-mode crystals can be used if trimmer in series with crystal is replaced by short-circuit. Adjust feedback by varying ratio of C1 to C2. Use grid-dip oscillator to resonate L1 with C1 when crystal is shorted; then remove short and tune slug of L1 to pull crystal exactly to frequency. R1 should be between 100 and 1000 ohms. The lower its value, the lower the crystal power dissipation and the better is stability. Q1 is 2N918, 2N3564, 2N5770, BF200, SE1001, or equivalent.-R.
