Forget about complex microcontrollers and digital integrated circuits for a while. Let’s see how to make simplified sine wave oscillator circuits using components lying around. The LC Filter Trick A ...

The 555 timer IC has been around now for quite some time and the list of potential uses for this device appears to be endless. This article contains a few ...

Traditionally, tuning RF oscillator circuits has been a function of an adjustable capacitor. But capacitance is only part of the circuit, with inductance being the other important portion.

We begin by describing the Hamiltonian of each component in the qubit–oscillator circuit, which comprises a superconducting flux qubit and an LC oscillator inductively coupled to each other by ...

Tradeoffs: MEMS vs. Crystal Oscillators Figures 1a and 1b show block diagrams of a MEMS oscillator and a crystal oscillator circuit. The MEMS oscillator is more complicated.
