    Study Notes

    Crystal Controlled Oscillators

    • Used to maintain an exact frequency of oscillation accurately
    • Quartz crystal is used as the frequency determining element
    • Operates on the principle of piezoelectric effect
    • The frequency of oscillation is determined by the crystal's 'cut' and physical size
    • Resonance occurs when the frequency of the applied voltage is equal to the natural frequency of the crystal

    Equivalent Circuit of a Crystal

    • Consists of a series R-L-C circuit in parallel with a mounting capacitance Cm
    • Two resonant frequencies: series resonant frequency (fs) and parallel resonant frequency (fp)

    Problems

    • The series resonant frequency (fs) occurs when the reactance of the inductance (L) is equal to the reactance of the capacitance C
    • The parallel resonant frequency (fp) occurs when the reactance of R-L-C branch is equal to the reactance of capacitor Cm

    Oscillators

    • Circuits that generate an output signal without the need for an input signal
    • Positive feedback is used to create oscillators
    • When the loop gain approaches unity (or larger), it results in an unstable amplifier with infinite gain
    • Oscillators can be used in applications such as musical instruments, GPS units, and voice synthesis

    Wien Bridge Oscillator

    • A phase shift oscillator based on a Wien bridge network
    • Provides 0° phase shift at a particular frequency (called resonant frequency)
    • The frequency at which the phase shift will be zero is: f = 1 / (2π√(R1R2C1C2))
    • The minimum amplifier gain required to sustain oscillation is: Av > 1 / (2√(R1/R2))

    RC Ladder Network Oscillator

    • The frequency of oscillation is determined by the values of R and C
    • The total phase shift provided by the C-R ladder network is 180° at the frequency of oscillation
