Oscillators

Oscillators are devices or circuits used to generate a repetitive waveform with a precise frequency. This frequency is often determined by the feedback network and can be used to control horizontal, vertical, and color deflection circuits in TVs, radar, systems, and communications.

The 578L240CAT oscillator is an integrated circuit commonly used in the mass production of TV and monitors. It is a low-frequency crystal oscillator that uses a quartz crystal as the resonating element. This crystalline material generates an electrical signal of precise and stable frequency.

Its application field includes devices related to tuning, frequency sensing, communication and measuring components, as well as operable with switches, motors, and transistors. Additionally, it is used as a clock signal generator in electronic circuits requiring direct access to digital signals for measuring and control purposes.

Working Principle

The 578L240CAT oscillator is designed to oscillate at a set frequency defined by the crystal that is specific to the model. When an oscillator is in a stable state, the amplitude of the oscillation remains constant. The frequency of the oscillation is determined by the mechanical properties of the quartz crystal and, more importantly, the feedback network. The oscillator\'s circuitry ensures the frequency of oscillation is always at the crystal\'s resonance frequency.

The quartz crystal is usually placed between two electrodes of an inverting amplifier. Its circuit comprises an amplifier (a transistor in the case of the 578L240CAT) with positive feedback, and is powered by two DC power sources connected to the transistor\'s collector and emitter. When the oscillator is operating, the circuit generates a sinusoidal waveform with the resonant frequency.

The feedback network of the 578L240CAT consists of a resistor in series with the crystal, with a capacitor connected parallel. The resistors and capacitors form an LC circuit that determines the frequency of the sinusoidal output. The values of these components are chosen to create an unstable feedback network, which reduces the operational frequency of the amplifier and produces oscillation.

Conclusion

The 578L240CAT oscillator is an integrated circuit built specifically for low-frequency applications. It is composed of an amplifier with a positive feedback network, and uses a quartz crystal resonator to generate a sinusoidal waveform of continuous and precise frequency. Its application field includes the mass production of TVs and monitors, as well as frequency sensing, tuning, measuring and communication components.
