RC PHASE SHIFT OSCILLATOR

RC phase shift oscillator are commonly used for generating audio frequencies, that is 1Hz to 10MHz. RC phase shift oscillator consist of an inverting amplifier followed by a feed back network with phase shift of 180 degree. The 180 degree phase shift at the feedback can be obtained by the combination of resistors and capacitors. …

SCHMITT TRIGGER

Picture courtesy : google Schmitt trigger is an electronic circuit with positive feedback which converts a sinusoidal or any analog signal to digital signal. Schmitt trigger is a comparator circuit with hysteresis, that is the output transition from high to low and low to high will occur at different thresholds. Schmitt trigger belongs to the …
