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 ...

Oscillator drift remains one of the most critical threats to precision timing in high-performance communication systems. 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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based oscillators are merely nudging the traditional crystal oscillator market. Significant design wins will occur soon if the MEMS companies are right, ...

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 ...

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 team of University of California San Diego (UCSD) scientists has genetically rewired the circuit that controls cell aging in yeast. From its normal role functioning like a toggle switch, they ...
