Transconductance Amp Gives Oscillator Reciprocal Response - 17-Apr-03 EDN-Design Ideas - High-side current sensor monitors negative rail - The circuit in Figure 1 is a variation on the familiar integrator/comparator triangle-wave oscillator, which you typically implement with two op amps. An integrator and a comparator connect in a positive-feedback loop; the comparator drives the integrator and vice versa. A fixed amount of hysteresis exists in the comparator, producing a triangle wave at the integrator's output Design by Mike Irwin, Shawville, PQ, Canada
Triangle & Square Wave Generator - Here is a simple triangle/squarewave generator using a common 1458 dual op-amp that can be used from very low frequencies to about 10 kHz. The time interval for one half cycle is about R*C and the outputs will supply about 10 milliamps of current. Triangle amplitude can __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Triangle / Square wave generator - Transistor Q1, a 2N3563, and its associated components form an oscillator circuit that will oscillate if, and only if, a good crystal is connected to the test clips. The output from the oscillator is then rectified by the 1N4148 signal diode and filtered by C3, a 100pF capacitor. __ Designed by Izhar Fareed

Triangle Wave Generator - This signal generator gives you two waveforms for the price of one: a triangle-wave and a square-wave. What is the central component of this circuit? The integrator capacitor CI. Basically we are interested in performing two functions on CI: charge it, discharge it, repeat indefinitely. During the design process, we ask these (spice design) __
Triangle Wave Generator - This triangle wave generator is made with a trigger Schmitt that converts a triangle wave into a rectangular one used to charge and discharge a capacitor through current sources. The positive current source T1 provide the charging and T2 the discharging. The trigger Schmitt is made from OR-EXCL gates IC1a and IC1b. The __ Designed by Popescu Marian

Triangular wave oscillator - In this page, I introduce the triangular wave oscillator which used the Operational Amplifiers (TL082). The circuit uses the two OP amplifiers. The OP of the one works as "the Schmitt circuit". The other OP works as "the integration circuit".

Twin-T Audio Sine Wave Oscillator - This circuit produces a clean sine wave signal ideal for audio testing, or wherever a good-quality sine voltage source is required. It uses only one integrated circuit which is a common dual operational amplifier, the Texas Instruments TL072CP. The values shown provide an output frequency of about 1000 Hertz. This frequency may be varied over a wide range, using the formula shown in the schematic. For most audio frequencies, the oscillation rate is almost exclusively determined by __ Designed by Arthur Harrison
Twin-T oscillator - This circuit produces an extremely low distortion sine wave, in spite of the non-linear devices used for amplitude limiting (D1 and D2). The reason is first that distortion (harmonics) is fed to the minus input of the OpAmp with far less loss than to the __ Designed by Andrew R. Morris
Two Stage Chaotic Colpitts Oscillator for the UHF range - Chaos in the Colpitts oscillator was first reported at the kilohertz frequencies [1]. Later the circuit was investigated in the high frequency (HF: 3 to 30 MHz) range [2, 3]. Chaotic oscillations were demonstrated. __

Ultra Low Current Oscillator - Here is a challenge. Design an astable oscillator which draws only a few nanoamps of current from a +3v supply. I gave this some thought and came up with the circuit below. I used some pretty standard parts except for three surface mounted 1000M resistors I had on hand. The oscillator frequency measured a low 1Hz frequency and the average current was a very low 3 nanoamps. If I had some higher resistors values handy, I think I could have gotten the current down below one nanoamp. . . Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.-March, 2009
Ultra Low Current Oscillator #4 - The circuit below was inspired by a programmable unjunction transistor (PUJT) circuit sent to me by Karl Isbrecht.

Universal Watchdog Fully Controls µ Preset - 05/25/95 EDN-Design Ideas - Many µPs contain internal watchdog timers, and you may wonder why you need another stand-alone circuit. Unfortunately, more highly integrated functions have preset parameters that you may want to change. Also, internal watchdogs are generally a simple combination of a flip-flop and a timer. If the program does not start properly on the first try, the timer is of no use because the program never turns on the watchdog. This watchdog catches exactly this condition Design by Terje Kvinge, Nera AS, Kokstad, Norway
