The Oscillator

Oscillators are electronic circuits that produce a periodic waveform with only the dc supply voltage as an input. Common output waveforms are the sine wave, square wave and sawtooth.

Electronic Devices

The Oscillator

Oscillators are electronic circuits that produce a periodic waveform with only the dc supply voltage as an input. Common output waveforms are the sine wave, square wave and sawtooth.

Two types of oscillators are feedback oscillators and relaxation oscillators.

Electronic Devices

Feedback Oscillators

In a feedback oscillator, a fraction of the output is returned to the input with no net phase shift. This means that the feedback circuit compensates for any phase shift in the amplifier and the reinforces the input, a condition known as positive feedback.

If the amplifier is a noninverting type, the feedback circuit does not invert the amplifier’s output, producing positive feedback.

Electronic Devices

Feedback Oscillators

If the amplifier is an inverting type, the feedback circuit inverts the amplifier’s output, again producing positive feedback.

Electronic Devices

Half-Wave Rectifier

Two conditions are required for sustained oscillations:

1. The phase shift around the feedback loop must be effectively 0o.

2. The closed loop voltage gain, Acl, must be ≥ than 1. For a sine

wave oscillator (shown), the closed loop gain = exactly 1.

(Acl = AvB =1).

Electronic Devices

Feedback Oscillators

Feedback oscillators require a small disturbance such as that generated by thermal noise to start oscillations. This initial voltage starts the feedback process and oscillations.

Electronic Devices

Feedback Oscillators

Feedback oscillators require a small disturbance such as that generated by thermal noise to start oscillations. This initial voltage starts the feedback process and oscillations.

Computer simulations, such as Multisim, use digital signals, which do not have thermal noise. This often creates a problem for computer simulations of oscillators.

RC feedback is used in various lower frequency sine-wave oscillators. The text covers three: the Wien-bridge oscillator, the phase-shift oscillator, and the twin-T oscillator.

Electronic Devices

The Wien-Bridge Oscillator

RC feedback is used in various lower frequency sine-wave oscillators. The text covers three: the Wien-bridge oscillator, the phase-shift oscillator, and the twin-T oscillator.

The feedback circuit in a Wien-bridge uses a lead-lag circuit. When the R’s and C’s have equal values, the output will be ⅓ of the input at only one frequency and the phase shift at this frequency will be 0o.

Electronic Devices

The Wien-Bridge Oscillator

Because the Wien-bridge lead-lag feedback network attenuates the output by 1/3 (with equal R’s and C’s), the gain of the noninverting amplifier must be exactly 3.0 to produce a loop gain of 1.0.

Electronic Devices

The Wien-Bridge Oscillator

Because the Wien-bridge lead-lag feedback network attenuates the output by 1/3 (with equal R’s and C’s), the gain of the noninverting amplifier must be exactly 3.0 to produce a loop gain of 1.0.

The noninverting amplifier gain is set by R1 and R2. If the gain is too little, oscillations will not occur; if it is too much the sine wave will be clipped. In the basic circuit shown, it is nearly impossible to set this gain to the precise value required.

To produce the precise gain required, the Wien bridge needs some form of automatic gain control (AGC). One popular method is shown here and uses a JFET transistor.

The key elements of the AGC circuit are highlighted in yellow. The diode charges C3 to the negative peak of the signal. This develops the gate bias voltage for the JFET that is related to the output level.

The JFET is operated in the ohmic region and can change its resistance rapidly if conditions change.

Ohmic region

Electronic Devices

The Wien-Bridge Oscillator

The JFET is operated in the ohmic region and can change its resistance rapidly if conditions change.

Recall from Chapter 8 that a JFET acts as a variable resistor in the ohmic region. If the output increases, the bias tends to be larger, and the drain-source resistance increases (and vice-versa). In the Wien-bridge, the JFET drain-source resistance controls the gain of the op-amp and will compensate for any change to the output.

The Phase-Shift Oscillator

The phase-shift oscillator uses three RC circuits in the feedback path that have a total phase shift of 180o at one frequency – for this reason an inverting amplifier is required for this circuit.

Electronic Devices

The Phase-Shift Oscillator

Conditions for oscillation with the phase-shift oscillator is that if all R’s and C’s are equal, the amplifier must have a gain of at least 29 to make up for the attenuation of the feedback circuit. This means that Rf /R3 ≥ 29.
