NONLINEAR_VOLTAGE_CONTROLLED_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/19 23:39:00 Author:Jessie

Use of conventional transistors rather than fet's means that Q1 and Q2 operate in knee region, where frequency does not vary linearly with d-c control voltage. This is generally not a drawback when control voltage is servoed. Increasing the control voltage increases the frequency.-R. Selleck, Voltage-Controlled Oscillators, EEE, 13:3, p 47.   (View)

PURE_SINE_WAVE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 1:04:00 Author:May

This circuit produces a pure, -80-dB THD sine wave with a frequency that is equal to thefc of IC3's filter. A TTL counter, an 8-channel analog multiplexer, and a fourth-order low-pass filter can generate 1- to 25-kHz sine waves with a THD of better than -80 dB. The circuit cascades the two second-order, contin-uous-time Sallen-Key filters within IC3 to implement the fourth-order low-pass filter. Two resistive dividers connected from ground to VDD and ground toVSS provide bipolar dc inputs to the multiplexer.To operate the circuit, you first must choose the filter's cutoff frequency, fc, by tying IC3's Do through D6 inputs to 5 V or ground. The cutoff frequency can be at 128 possible levels between 1 and 25 kHz, depending on those 7 digital input levels. Because this figure ties Do through D6 to ground, fc equals 1 kHz. The 100-kHz potentiometer adjusts the output level anywhere from 1.5 V below VDD to 1.5 V above VSS.The clock input frequency must be 8 times higher than the ftlter's fc. The multiplexer then produces an 8x oversampled staircase approximation of a sine wave. 8x oversampling greatly simplifies the smoothing requirements of the low-pass filter by pushing the first significant harmonic out to 7 x the funda-mental. All higher-order harmonics are removed by IC3, which includes an uncommitted amplifier for set-ting the output level.   (View)

SINE_WAIF_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 0:59:00 Author:May

The frequency of the generator is determined by integrators IC1B and IC1C. An integrator has two properties that are used in this design. Firstly, a phase shift of 90° is between the input and output (ignor-ing, for the moment, the nonideal behavior of the op amp), and secondly, its amplification is - 1 (i.e., the signal inverts), provided the frequency:Cascading two identical integrators will thus result in an overall phase shift of 180° and an amplification of unity (provided that the frequency is1/2π/R1C1): an ideal basis for art oscillator. The two integrators are connected in the feedback circuit of an amplifier whose gain is determined by the amplitude of the output signal. Consequently, the generator has reasonably stable output voltage (at a level of about 4.5 Vpp).With the values of C1 (C1') and RI (R1'), as shown in the diagram, the output has a frequency of about 300 Hz. The frequency can be varied by replacing R1and R1' with a stereo potentiometer. To keep the frequency setting within bounds, the overall range of this potentiometer should not exceed a decade.The maximum attainable frequency is about 5 kHz. Distortion is not greater than 0.10/0. The current drawn by the generator is only a few milliamperes. Finally, the LM348 is a quadruple 741; it is thus possi-ble to construct the generator from four 741s.   (View)
