  2. RC oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_oscillator

    Another common design is the "Twin-T" oscillator as it uses two "T" RC circuits operated in parallel. One circuit is an R-C-R "T" which acts as a low-pass filter. The second circuit is a C-R-C "T" which operates as a high-pass filter. Together, these circuits form a bridge which is tuned at the desired frequency of oscillation.

  3. Relaxation oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_oscillator

    Simple relaxation oscillator made by feeding back an inverting Schmitt trigger 's output voltage through a RC network to its input. In electronics, a relaxation oscillator is a nonlinear electronic oscillator circuit that produces a nonsinusoidal repetitive output signal, such as a triangle wave or square wave. [1][2][3][4] The circuit consists ...

  4. RC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_circuit

    e. A resistor–capacitor circuit (RC circuit), or RC filter or RC network, is an electric circuit composed of resistors and capacitors. It may be driven by a voltage or current source and these will produce different responses. A first order RC circuit is composed of one resistor and one capacitor and is the simplest type of RC circuit.

  5. Electronic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator

    Electronic oscillator. Simple relaxation oscillator made by feeding back an inverting Schmitt trigger 's output voltage through a RC network to its input. An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current (AC) signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, [1][2][3 ...

  6. Voltage-controlled oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-controlled_oscillator

    A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is an electronic oscillator whose oscillation frequency is controlled by a voltage input. The applied input voltage determines the instantaneous oscillation frequency. Consequently, a VCO can be used for frequency modulation (FM) or phase modulation (PM) by applying a modulating signal to the control input.

  7. Ring oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_oscillator

    The ring oscillator is a member of the class of time-delay oscillators. A time-delay oscillator consists of an inverting amplifier with a delay element between the amplifier output and its input. The amplifier must have a gain greater than 1 at the intended oscillation frequency. Consider the initial case where the amplifier input and output ...

  8. Pearson–Anson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson–Anson_effect

    Pearson–Anson effect. The Pearson–Anson effect, discovered in 1922 by Stephen Oswald Pearson [1] and Horatio Saint George Anson, [2][3] is the phenomenon of an oscillating electric voltage produced by a neon bulb connected across a capacitor, when a direct current is applied through a resistor. [4] This circuit, now called the Pearson-Anson ...

  9. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    The RC time constant, denoted τ (lowercase tau), the time constant (in seconds) of a resistor–capacitor circuit (RC circuit), is equal to the product of the circuit resistance (in ohms) and the circuit capacitance (in farads): It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to ...
