In this session of Logic Noise, we’ll be playing around with the voltage-controlled oscillator from a 4046 ... the path toward much more interesting circuits in the future.

While we generally think of power supply applications, it is also very useful in this voltage controlled oscillator. This VCO has a ... C2 into C1 via D1. This is the basic charge pump circuit. This ...

The demand for analog and mixed-signal-based integrated circuits (ICs) has surged due to the increasing ... This mismatch affects the control voltage of the Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO), ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments. A phase-locked loop, of course. A PLL frequency synthesizer plays a key role in delivering the precision and accuracy demanded by many applications. The master ...

Ho hum: that sounds like a voltage-controlled oscillator. But this signal was bipolar ... However, . . . Contemplating the basic circuit threw up an interesting idea. Linear-in-frequency tuning can be ...
