Introduction To Oscillators

An oscillator is a circuit that generates an alternating current or voltage signal in order to meet specific requirements for timing or frequency. Oscillators come in different configurations depending on the particular application. Some common oscillator types are Pierce, Colpitts, Wien-bridge, VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator), and crystal oscillators, among others. The 353WB3A327T oscillator belongs to the Wien-bridge oscillator configuration. This configuration is most commonly used as a low-distortion audio oscillator. This particular oscillator is an integrated circuit designed with a low-power CMOS process and is suitable for using in a wide variety of applications from portable electronics to household appliances.
