A Planet Analog article, “ 2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor? ” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old ...
A relaxation oscillator is an oscillator based upon the performance of a physical system’s resending to equilibrium after being disturbed. It is a dynamical system within the oscillator continuously ...
Designers seeking a quick and easy frequency source often use a relaxation oscillator (Fig. 1) based on digital gates such as the 74HC14 inverter with hysteresis. The oscillator is also useful in ...
