This Design Idea applies a noveltopology to an oscillator. It usesa series-connected LC (inductive-capacitive)tank circuit to give the circuita higher tuning range than circuitsthat use a parallel-LC ...

Oscillators are as ubiquitous—and, some might argue, as important—as power supplies in electronics systems, finding use in anything that needs a timing signal, from digital watches to TVs and PCs.

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