Oscillators

An oscillator, also referred to as a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), is an electronic device capable of producing an ordered, periodic oscillating signal. An oscillator typically produces a sinusoidal waveform, oscillating at a parameterizable frequency around a central frequency. Oscillators can be used in a variety of fields, such as in telecommunication circuits, for radio circuits, for the generation of music, and for generating RF (radio frequency) signals, among other applications. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the AX7DBF1-742.4347C oscillator.

Application Field

The AX7DBF1-742.4347C is a general-purpose, signal-to-noise optimized, CMOS voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) intended for use in biomedical applications such as pulse generators, scanners, and other applications requiring a more demanding frequency stability over the course of operation. The VCO includes a frequency control voltage input which can be used to adjust the center frequency and produce a wide range of frequencies. This oscillator is capable of producing frequencies ranging from 500kHz - 3MHz, with high-frequency stability over temperature of ±0.05% maximum.

Due to its superior frequency control voltage features, the AX7DBF1-742.4347C is also suitable for general-purpose test and measurement applications, as well as wireless communications and low-power video systems.

Working Principle

The AX7DBF1-742.4347C is a voltage-controlled oscillator. When connected to a power source, the oscillator provides a continuous output waveform. The output waveform is dependent on the supply voltage, the frequency, and the control voltage applied to the oscillator.

In order to function correctly, the oscillator requires an input frequency and a control voltage. The frequency of the output waveform is determined by the input frequency and the control voltage. The control voltage is used to adjust the frequency of the oscillator, allowing for adjustment over a wider range. As such, the control voltage is used to modify the output frequency and provide fine-tuning for oscillator operation.

The AX7DBF1-742.4347C uses current-mode logic (CML) to generate its output waveforms. CML is a type of logic that uses current rather than voltage to represent logic states. CML is more energy-efficient than conventional digital logic and is widely used in modern digital systems. By using current in place of voltage, CML-based oscillators offer superior frequency stability and linearity.

In addition, the AX7DBF1-742.4347C includes adaptive on-chip compensation circuitry to ensure stable operation over temperature and process-induced variations. This adaptive circuitry allows for improved frequency stability and a wider operating temperature range, eliminating the need for external components to provide temperature compensation.

Conclusion

The AX7DBF1-742.4347C voltage-controlled oscillator is a versatile, cost-effective solution for a variety of applications, including biomedical, test and measurement, wireless communications, and low-power video systems. With its CML-based architecture, on-chip adaptive compensation circuitry, and superior frequency stability, the AX7DBF1-742.4347C is an ideal choice for applications requiring a high degree of performance and reliability.
