  2. SurAf' Feedback Oscillators Oscillators are electronic circuits that produce a periodic waveform with only the dc supply voltage as an input. In a feedback oscillator, a fraction of the output is returned with no net phase shift. If the feedback circuit returns the signal out of phase, an inverting amplifier produces positive feedback. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L. Floyd Out of phæse Inverting circuit 2012 Pearson Education. Upper Saddle River, NJ. 07458. All rights reserved.
  3. SurAf' Feedback Oscillators Feedback oscillators require a small disturbance such as that generated by thermal noise to start oscillations. This initial voltage starts the feedback process and oscillations. Computer simulations, such as Multisim, use digital signals, which do not have thermal noise. This often creates a problem for computer simulations of oscillators. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L. Floyd 2012 Pearson Education. Upper Saddle River, NJ. 07458. All rights reserved.
  4. SurAf' The Wien-Bridge Oscillator RC feedback is used in various lower frequency sine-wave oscillators. The text covers three: the Wien-bridge oscillator, the phase-shift oscillator, and the twin-T oscillator. The feedback circuit in a Wien-bridge uses a lead-lag circuit. When the R's and C's have equal values, the output will be 1/3 of the input at only one frequency and the phase shift at this frequency will be 00. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L. Floyd 2012 Pearson Education. Upper Saddle River, NJ. 07458. All rights reserved.
  5. SurAf' The Wien-Bridge Oscillator The basic Wien-bridge uses the lead-lag network to select a specific frequency that is amplified. The voltage-divider sets the gain to make up for the attenuation of the feedback network. The noninverting amplifier must have a gain of exactly 3.0 as set by RI and R2 to make up for the attenuation. If it is too little, oscillations will not occur; if it is too much the sine wave will be clipped. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L.

  7. SurAf' The Wien-Bridge Oscillator To produce the precise gain required, the Wien bridge needs some form of automatic gain control (AGC). One popular method is shown here and uses a JFET transistor. The key elements of the AGC circuit are highlighted in yellow. The diode charges C3 to the negative peak of the signal. This develops the gate bias voltage for the JFET that is related to the output level. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L. Floyd 2012 Pearson Education. Upper Saddle River, NJ. 07458. All rights reserved.
  8. SurAf' The Wien-Bridge Oscillator The JFET is operated in the ohmic region and can change its resistance rapidly if conditions change. Recall from Chapter 8 that a JFET acts as a variable resistor in the ohmic region. If the output increases, the bias tends to be larger, and the drain-source resistance increases (and vice-versa). In the Wien-bridge, the JFET drain- source resistance controls the gain of the op-amp and will compensate for any change to the output. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L.

  11. SurAf' The Phase-Shift Oscillator The phase-shift oscillator uses three RC circuits in the feedback path that have a total phase shift of 1800 at one frequency — for this reason an inverting amplifier is required for this circuit. Even with identical R's and C 's, the phase shift in each RC circuit is slightly different because of loading effects. When all R's and C 's are equal, the feedback attenuates the signal by a factor of 1/29. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L. Floyd 1 29 2012 Pearson Education. Upper Saddle River, NJ. 07458.

  12. SurAf' The Phase-Shift Oscillator Conditions for oscillation with the phase-shift oscillator is that if all R's and C 's are equal, the amplifier must have a gain of at least 29 to make up for the attenuation of the feedback circuit. This means that Rf/R3 29. Under these conditions, the frequency of oscillation is given by 1 2aC6RC e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L. Floyd 2012 Pearson Education. Upper Saddle River, NJ. 07458.

  14. SurAf' The Phase-Shift Oscillator Multisim can simulate the phase-shift oscillator, but has difficulty starting.

  16. SurAf' The Phase-Shift Oscillator Because the Rfis not precise, you will see the output "grow" in Multisim.

  18. SurAf' The Colpitts Oscillator LC feedback oscillators use resonant circuits in the feedback path. A popular LC oscillator is the Colpitts oscillator. It uses two series capacitors in the resonant circuit. The feedback voltage is developed across Cl. The effect is that the tank circuit is "tapped". Usually Cl is the larger capacitor because it develops the smaller voltage. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L. Floyd Out q In 2012 Pearson Education. Upper Saddle River, NJ. 07458.

  19. SurAf' The Colpitts Oscillator The resonant frequency is found by fr = 27t LCT If Q > 10, this formula gives good results.

  22. SurAf' The Hartley Oscillator The Hartley oscillator is similar to the Colpitts oscillator, except the resonant circuit consists of two series inductors (or a single tapped inductor) and a parallel capacitor. The frequency for Q 10 is 1 1 27t lurc 211 (4+12)C One advantage of a Hartley oscillator is that it can be tuned by using a variable capacitor in the resonant circuit. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L.

  23. The Hartley Oscillator Amplifier Feedback circuit In this circuit, the frequency of oscillation for Q > 10 is where LT = Ll + Ia. The inductors act in a role similar to Cl and C2 in the Colpitts to determine the attenuation, B, of the feedback circuit. ectronie De IQ mas L NJ. 07458.
  24. SurAf' The Crystal Oscillator Crystal oscillators are highly stable oscillators for demanding circuits such a radio transmitters. Crystals have very high Q. Manufacturers prepare natural crystals (usually quartz) by mounting a very thin slab between metal electrodes. When a small ac voltage is applied, the crystal oscillates at its own resonant frequency. The crystal acts as the resonant circuit for the modified Colpitts oscillator and stabilizes the oscillations. The capacitors still tap off a feedback signal to the CE amplifier. e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L. Floyd + Vcc 1 XTAL 2012 Pearson Education. Upper Saddle River, NJ. 07458.

  25. SurAf' Relaxation Oscillators Relaxation oscillators are characterized by an RC timing circuit and a device that periodically changes state. The triangular wave oscillator is an example. For this circuit, the device that changes states is a comparator with hysteresis (Schmitt trigger). The RC timing device is an integrator. The comparator output can be used as a square wave output. The trigger points set the triangle's peak-to-peak voltage: VLJTP = +1,' e ctranie Devices. 91/' edition mas L. Floyd A square wave can be taken as an output here.

  28. SurAf' Relaxation Oscillators Normally, the triangle wave generator uses fast comparators to avoid slew rate problems. For non-critical applications, a 741 will work nicely for low frequencies (<2 kHz). The circuit here is one you can construct easily in lab.
