We’ve read a lot about oscillators, but crystal oscillators seem to be a bit of a mystery. Hobby-level books tend to say, build a circuit like this and then mess with it until it oscillates.

Emitter followers are well known for being prone to oscillation if they're feeding a capacitive load. The trait is shared however, with source followers, cathode followers ( Remember vacuum tubes?? ) ...

Crystal oscillators are fundamental components in modern electronic systems, providing the precise timing necessary for communication, computation, and sensor network operations. Recent advances in ...

Our Hackaday team is spread across the world, but remains in easy contact through the magic of the Internet. A number of us hold amateur radio callsigns, so could with a bit of effort and expenditure ...

Using the power of Arduino, Evan Kale has ingeniously transformed a weed wacker into an Arduino-powered metal detector. This innovative project showcases the versatility and potential of Arduino in ...

A. Determine the frequency for the oscillator of the given circuit. Assume there is negligible loading on the feedback circuit and that its Q is greater than 10. B. Find the frequency if the ...
