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...

As demand grows, precision and reliability in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is critical. With 5G networks on the rise, small, high-performing atomic clocks are becoming increasingly essential. Suntsu’s newest oscillator comes in a dimension of 50.8mm x 50.8mm that uses an...

Driving multiple loads from a single oscillator output discussed in this app note from SiTime. Optimizing board space and managing power consumption of wearable devices is critical in sustaining competitiveness within this fast growing consumer segment. With less power consumed,...

Miniature Atomic Clock (MAC - SA5X) Rubidium Oscillator, re-designed for improved stability and new features. The MAC-SA5X is designed for applications that require long-term atomic oscillator stability, but are constrained by size and low power requirements. Versatile Microchip’s...

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...

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...
