Oscillators

An oscillator is a circuit that produces a continuous, repeated, alternating waveform without any input.

Oscillators basically convert unidirectional current flow from a DC source into an alternating waveform.

In simple oscillators, UJTs are used.

UJT Relaxation Oscillator is used as a pulse generator when the voltage across the discharge resistor is used. 

Oscillators work on positive feedback and follow Bark hausen's criteria.

The Barkhausen stability criterion is a mathematical condition to determine when a linear electronic circuit will oscillate or not. It will oscillate when:

  • The loop gain must be unity.
  • The phase shift through the loop is either zero or an integer multiple of 2π.
