In interaction designer [Leonardo Amico]’s work Processing Decay, lettuce is used as an input to produce sound as an element within a CMOS circuit. We’ve all seen lemons and potatoes doubling in ...

A square wave oscillator can be used as a low-cost time reference or supervisory clock source. The square wave oscillator shown in the application circuit is created with a single comparator (TLV3201) ...

Using my Multisim SPICE tool to analyze an oscillator, I ran into a little bit of simulation trouble. My circuit was a simple Colpitts oscillator and the simulation showed that it would indeed ...

Using this Pierce-oscillator circuit, users can test and verify the basic operation of a crystal in parallel-resonance mode. It allows the user to calculate and set the critical external capacitor ...

Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) have a difficult challenge. On one side, they need to be stable with low values of detrimental characteristics such as phase noise, jitter, and drift. On the ...

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, ...

A research team from Peking University has successfully developed a vanadium oxide (VO₂)-based “locally active memristive ...
