Examine a traditional Hartley oscillator circuit, and you’ll note its trademark: a tapped inductor that determines the frequency of oscillation and provides oscillation-sustaining feedback. Although ...

The tool generates a sample schematic, although [Craig] deleted it and put his own design into the simulator. By running simulations, he was able to look at the oscillator’s performance. His first cut ...

Crystal oscillators are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, providing the precise timing necessary for communication, computation, and sensor network operations. Recent advances in ...

Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Southern California (Los Angeles) with specialization in RF design, VLSI and Analog Integrated Circuits. RFIC transceiver design, Analog ...

Analog IPs are developed to meet a set of specific requirements, and to change its specifications for a different application, a significant amount of time and effort may have to be applied on ...

Fig 1. This Pierce-series resonant oscillator can reliably start at supply voltages as low as 2.4 V. It also draws very low current, ensuring long battery life. Fig 2. An oscilloscope photo shows the ...

To alleviate the drawbacks of quartz oscillator technology, classic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) materials are now being used to fabricate three-dimensional resonating structures. These ...

[Craig] wanted to build a 19.2 MHz crystal oscillator. He knew he wanted a Pierce oscillator, but he also knew that getting a good design is often a matter of trial ...
