Back in 1966, a suitable toy for a geeky kid was a radio kit. You could find simple crystal radio sets or some more advanced ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John Martinis built an electrical circuit-based oscillator on a microchip.

Abstract: From basic wristwatches to sophisticated satellite communication systems essential for long-distance communication oscillator circuits provide accurate and dependable clock signals.

Abstract: Wireless monitoring systems in high-temperature, harsh industrial environments, including oscillator circuits to interface with sensing and transmission components, must operate over ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

With such a wide range of electronic timing devices to choose from, why is the classic high-performance crystal oscillator still the best choice in many applications? A partial answer is their ...
