Oscillators: SIT9122AI-1CF-33E500.000000Y application field and working principle

Oscillators, such as the SIT9122AI-1CF-33E500.000000Y, are important components in electronics for generating sine, square, triangle or saw tooth waveforms of precisely controlled frequencies. This type of oscillator is called a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). If a voltage level is applied to the oscillator’s input, the oscillator’s output frequency and signal shape will be changed.

Applications of VCOs

VCOs are primarily used for generating different frequencies in radio and communication systems, such as in radio transmitters. They are also used in TV sets for synthesis, especially in the horizontal oscillator to control the scanning of the picture and in the sound oscillators controlling the audio signals. VCOs are also found in many other applications, such as for motor speed control and for producing extremely accurate time signals, such as Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) signals used in long-distance transmission.

Working Principle Of VCOs

In typical VCOs, a voltage signal is applied to the input of an oscillator and the output of the oscillator is a sine, square, triangle or saw tooth waveform. The frequency of the VCO will be determined by the voltage level applied to the input. This is determined by the VCO’s transfer function, which defines how the voltage levels applied to the oscillator interact with the frequency of the oscillator. The higher the voltage, the higher the frequency.

VCOs work on the principle of positive feedback. The same signal that is output from the oscillator is then fed back into the input of the oscillator, creating a looped signal. This creates an oscillatory signal which is sent back out of the output. The amplitude of this oscillatory signal is determined by the voltage gain of the amplifier circuit used in the oscillator. The frequency of the oscillatory signal is determined by the number and type of components used in the oscillator. Each component used in the oscillator has a different effect on the frequency of the oscillatory signal.
