Electronics 2 Finals 13b

The document describes different types of oscillator circuits. It defines an oscillator as a circuit that converts DC electrical energy from a power supply into periodic waveforms. It discusses feedback oscillators and relaxation oscillators. Feedback oscillators use positive feedback to sustain oscillation when the voltage gain around the feedback loop is equal to 1. RC oscillators, phase-shift oscillators, and LC oscillators are described as common types of feedback oscillator circuits.

OSCILLATORS

Intended Learning Outcome Describe the principles and characteristics of oscillator circuits Identify the basic elements of an oscillator Differentiate the function and application of each type of oscillator.

OSCILLATORS
Essentially, an oscillator converts electrical energy from the dc power supply to periodic waveforms.

OSCILLATORS
FEEDBACK OSCILLATORS RELAXATION OSCILLATORS

FEEDBACK OSCILLATORS
Positive feedback is characterized by the condition wherein an in-phase portion of the output voltage is fed back to the input of an amplifier with no net phase shift, resulting to a reinforcement of the output signal.

FEEDBACK OSCILLATORS
Conditions for Oscillation:
The phase shift around the feedback loop must be effectively 0o. The voltage gain around the closed feedback loop (ACL) must be equal unity (1)

FEEDBACK OSCILLATORS
Start-Up Conditions:
For oscillation to begin, the voltage gain around the positive feedback loop must be greater than 1 so that the amplitude of the output can build up to a desired level. The gain must then decrease to 1 so that the output stays at the desired level and oscillation is sustained.

RC OSCILLATORS
Wien-bridge Oscillator
is by far the most widely used RC feedback oscillator.

RC OSCILLATORS
