Oscillators

Oscillators are essential components used in almost all electronic circuits. They are used to generate an alternating current of a certain frequency and are used in a variety of applications. In this article, we will be looking at the application field and working principle of the model AX7DAF3-620.0000T oscillator.

Application Fields of AX7DAF3-620.0000T Oscillator

The AX7DAF3-620.0000T oscillator is an active RC oscillator and is typically used in signal generation and clock applications. It is designed for use as a low-cost, low-power oscillator for generating precision low frequency signals. It can be used in applications such as low-frequency precision timing, pulse-width modulation (PWM) control, and waveform generation.

Working Principle of AX7DAF3-620.0000T Oscillator

The AX7DAF3-620.0000T oscillator uses a combination of active and passive components to generate an oscillating signal. The active component in this oscillator is an operational amplifier, which is configured as an inverting amplifier. The amplifier is connected to a tank circuit, which is made up of an inductor and a capacitor. The combination of the amplifier and the tank circuit is known as a resonant circuit, and it is responsible for generating the oscillating signal.

At the beginning of the cycle, the output of the amplifier is low and the capacitor is charged to a high potential. As the capacitor discharges, the output of the amplifier becomes high, causing the capacitor to charge in the opposite direction. This process is repeated continuously, resulting in an alternating output from the amplifier.

The frequency of the oscillation is controlled by the values of the inductor and capacitor. A larger capacitor results in a lower frequency oscillation, while a larger inductor results in a higher frequency oscillation. This allows the user to choose an appropriate frequency for the application.

Conclusion

The AX7DAF3-620.0000T oscillator is a versatile and cost-effective choice for a variety of low-frequency signal generation and clock applications. Its active RC circuit is responsible for generating a precision low frequency signal, and the frequency can be adjusted by changing the values of the inductor and capacitor.
