In this session of Logic Noise, we’ll be playing around with the voltage-controlled oscillator from a 4046 phase-locked loop chip, and using it to make “musical” pitches. It’s a lot of bang for the ...

Designers seeking a quick and easy frequency source often use a relaxation oscillator (Fig. 1) based on digital gates such as the 74HC14 inverter with hysteresis. The oscillator is also useful in ...

With no external components, a 555 can be turned into an oscillator that runs typically in the range of 1 to 2.5mHZ –or who needs a timing capacitor? It is essentially a stripped down version of the ...

Oscillator is an electronic circuit that makes a repetitive electronic signal, frequently a sine wave or a square wave. It is essential in many different types of electronic equipment. Like a quartz ...
