Clock Oscillator in mini package – Clock in a Can
https://www.electronics-lab.com/clock-oscillator-mini-package-clock-can/
Most microcontroller implementation these days, use the traditional capacitor + crystal approach to generate their clock, this approach sometimes, however, lead to problems, especially when used in prototyping situations with a breadboard, jumper wires, etc., all of which have an (unknown) inherent capacitance that could lead to the clean 8 or 16MHz signal we desire, […]
Building a Chaotic Oscillator from Common Components
https://www.electronics-lab.com/building-chaotic-oscillator-common-components/
Tim’s Blog writes: A chaotic oscillator is an electronic circuit that can exhibit “chaotic“, nonperiodic behavior. A commonly cited example is Chua’s circuit, but there are many others. I always regarded these as carefully designed, rather academic, examples. So I was a bit surprised to observe apparently chaotic behavior in a completely unrelated experiment. A […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/top-10-crystal-oscillators-snapeda/
Elizabeth Bustamante @ snapeda.com lists the top 10 crystal oscillators used today. She writes: A crystal oscillator is an electronic circuit that generates an electrical signal with a very precise frequency. To achieve this, it uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal made of piezoelectric material. The first crystal oscillator was invented in the […]
Troubleshooting a 32kHz Crystal Oscillator
https://www.electronics-lab.com/troubleshooting-32khz-crystal-oscillator/
How to Actually Make it Oscillate? Now for an oscillator to work, we need an amplifier with a gain of greater than 1, and a phase shift of 360 degrees to get positive feedback. First problem – the transistor was saturated, with Vc stuck near 0V. For an oscillator to start noise gets amplified, filtered […]
