Oscillators: Sinusoidal Non Sinusoidal

This document discusses different types of oscillators including sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal oscillators. It describes common sinusoidal oscillator circuits such as the Armstrong, Hartley, Colpitts, and phase-shift oscillators. Non-sinusoidal oscillators include multivibrators, ring oscillators, and delay line oscillators. All oscillators require amplification, regenerative feedback, and a frequency-determining component. Multivibrators are electronic circuits that can be configured as oscillators, timers, or flip-flops using two amplifying devices cross-coupled by resistors and capacitors in astable, monostable, or bistable configurations.

Requirements for an oscillator. Amplification is required to provide the necessary gain for the signal. Sufficient regenerative feedback is required to sustain oscillations.

A frequency-determining device is needed to maintain the desired output frequency

LC Oscillators

Multivibrator
A multivibrator is an electronic circuit used to implement a variety of simple two-state systems such as oscillators, timers and flipflops. It is characterized by two amplifying devices (transistors, electron tubes or other devices) cross-coupled by resistors and capacitors.

Types of multivibrator astable, Monostable bistable

Monostable multivibrator circuit

When triggered by an input pulse, a monostable multivibrator will switch to its unstable position for a period of time, and then return to its stable state.
If repeated application of the input pulse maintains the circuit in the unstable state, it is called a retriggerable monostable. If further trigger pulses do not affect the period, the circuit is a nonretriggerable multivibrator.

Bistable multivibrator circuit


when the circuit is switched on, if Q1 is on, its collector is at 0 V. As a result, Q2 gets switched off. This results in more than half +V volts being applied to R4 causing current into the base of Q1, thus keeping it on. Thus, the circuit remains stable in a single state continuously. Similarly, Q2 remains on continuously, if it happens to get switched on first. Switching of state can be done via Set and Reset terminals connected to the bases. For example, if Q2 is on and Set is grounded momentarily, this switches Q2 off, and makes Q1 on. Thus, Set is used to "set" Q1 on, and Reset is used to "reset" it to off state
