A very simple DIY crystal oscillator circuit which use a quartz for frequency stability and a good rf transistor. Use a 2-nd or 3-rd harmonic crystal, for example if you want 100MHz use a 50MHz or ...
Crystal oscillators are incredibly useful components, but they come with one little snag: their oscillation is temperature-dependent. For many applications the relatively small deviation is not a ...
[Paul] likes a precise oscillator. His recent video shows a crystal oscillator with a “watch crystal” and a CMOS counter, the CD4060. Using such a circuit can produce very stable frequencies and since ...
Primary design considerations for fundamental-mode oscillators using AT-cut crystals include load capacitance, negative resistance, startup time, frequency stability versus temperature, drive-level ...
Starting a crystal oscillator fast in an IoT node is an art: the high Q needed for stability means they take milliseconds to get going, just to transmit a 128μs Bluetooth LE packet, and power is at a ...
Another great crystal oscillator circuit with BB139, a 2-nd harmonic quartz crystal and one BF214 transistor. So, the Q quartz is half of the desired transmitter frequency, L1 has 24 turns, 0.08mm Ø ...
