Sinusoidal oscillation requires both the correct phase and loop gain. φφφ = 0° = positive. feedback A v V . out B AVB = 1 AVB < 1 AVB > 1 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Sinusoidal oscillators • The starting signal is thermal noise. • AVB > 1 at startup (A VB is the loop gain). • The feedback network determines B and the phase of the feedback. • Only one frequency arrives at the input as an in-phase signal (positive feedback). • Either A V or B is eventually decreased so that A VB = 1.

Wien-bridge oscillator • Used for low to moderate frequencies (5 Hz to 1 MHz) • Produces an almost perfect sine wave • Nonlinear resistance is used to decrease loop gain to 1 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

The 555 timer • Contains two comparators, an RS flip- flop, and an npn transistor • Has an upper trip point ( UTP ) and a lower trip point ( LTP ) • In the monostable mode, the input triggers must fall below the LTP to start the action Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
