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 ...
This Design Idea avoids the RC charging waveshape of a standard relaxation oscillator, replacing it with a linear rise/fall triangle wave. Positive feedback is used to increase the charging rate over ...
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 ...
