Nowadays, it is no longer necessary to use discrete components to build oscillators. Instead, many manufacturers provide ready-made voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) ICs that need only a few ...
Our hacker [Wil Carver] has sent in his submission for the One Hertz Challenge: Precise Time Ref via 1 Pulse-Per-Second GPS Signal. This GPS Disciplined Oscillator (GPSDO) project uses a Piezo 2940210 ...
Editor’s Note: This DI is a two-part series. Part 1 shows how to make an oscillator with a pitch that is proportional to a control voltage. Part 2 shows how to modify the circuit for use with higher ...
Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) have a difficult challenge. On one side, they need to be stable with low values of detrimental characteristics such as phase noise, jitter, and drift. On the ...
