[Craig] wanted to build a 19.2 MHz crystal oscillator. He knew he wanted a Pierce oscillator, but he also knew that getting a good design is often a matter of trial ...

Crystal oscillators exploit the piezoelectric resonance of quartz or alternative piezoelectric materials to generate stable electrical frequencies with high quality factors. Fundamental design ...

Modern technology relies heavily on accurate timing as its fundamental basis, so that items of electronics all have coordinated functions. This applies across a wide range of industry sectors and, ...

Chip component supplier Stathera Inc. today announced that it has closed a $35 million funding round. Semiconductor-focused ...

Crystal oscillators are often one of the last components that a designer thinks about, but the wrong part can quickly kill a design. Moreover, searching through a wide variety of available oscillators ...

This Idea for Design shows how proper component selection can help reduce startup time for gated oscillators. 3. The scope image shows the CMOS gated oscillator with no startup delay. The yellow line ...

Analog IPs are developed to meet a set of specific requirements, and to change its specifications for a different application, a significant amount of time and effort may have to be applied on ...

Fig 1. This Pierce-series resonant oscillator can reliably start at supply voltages as low as 2.4 V. It also draws very low current, ensuring long battery life. Fig 2. An oscilloscope photo shows the ...

An oscillator is an electronic circuit which generates a repetitive time-varying signal, which in this context is used to clock communication and the execution of instructions in the EFM32 ...
