This application note presents the need to use an external Pierce oscillator to replace the RTC oscillator circuit that makes EP93xx susceptible to on-chip noises. It describes the implementation of ...

How do you test the oscillator circuit you just made that runs between 200MHz and 380MHz if all you have is a 100MHz oscilloscope, a few multimeters and a DC power supply? One answer is to put away ...

For battery-powered circuits, it is easy to build an ultralow-current crystal oscillator designed around a 32.768-kHz crystal. This crystal is common for real-time-clock circuits. Because these ...

Low phase noise oscillators are critical components in modern communication, sensing and radar systems, where extreme frequency stability is paramount. These oscillators offer superior performance by ...

Although it dates back to the early days of the Marconi Company in the 1920s, the Franklin oscillator has remained a relatively obscure circuit, its memory mostly kept alive by ham radio operators ...

Self-switching microfluidic circuits that are able to perform biochemical experiments in a parallel and autonomous manner, similar to instruction-embedded electronics, are rarely implemented. Here, we ...

The evolution of precision clocks. The tradeoffs between MEMS vs. crystal oscillators. The manufacture and cost issues involved. Almost every electronic device you can imagine depends on a precision ...

Just as most electronic products today contain at least one embedded controller, most also have at least one crystal oscillator. In fact, some multiprotocol networking and telecom equipment can ...

Neuroscientists discovered the mechanism underlying the oscillator circuit that controls the rhythmic extension and retraction of whiskers in mice. Many of our bodily functions, such as walking, ...
