Most of us know that a quartz clock uses a higher frequency crystal oscillator and a chain of divider circuits to generate a ...

The simulation and experimental results for the Colpitts oscillator circuit uses a 2N3819, an n-channel device, for the JFET. The PSpice parameters for this transistor are I DSS of 12 mA and V P of ...

The transistor can never be saturated or be in cut-off. In the lower circuit, having the emitter follower is beneficial. Apart from protecting the oscillator from being quenched by some external load, ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

The circuit is not designed to be used in a computer chip. Instead, it is a proof of principle that allowed the research team to test the switching speed of its design. "The ring oscillator is a very ...

“You can have zero temperature coefficient, you can tune the transistors to have a positive temperature coefficient – for a temperature sensor, for example – or you can arrange to have a negative ...
