  2. Multivibrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivibrator

    A vacuum tube Abraham-Bloch multivibrator oscillator, France, 1920 (small box, left).Its harmonics are being used to calibrate a wavemeter (center).. The first multivibrator circuit, the classic astable multivibrator oscillator (also called a plate-coupled multivibrator) was first described by Henri Abraham and Eugene Bloch in Publication 27 of the French Ministère de la Guerre, and in ...

  3. Clock rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_rate

    The original IBM PC (c. 1981) had a clock rate of 4.77 MHz (4,772,727 cycles per second). In 1992, both Hewlett-Packard and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) exceeded 100 MHz with RISC techniques in the PA-7100 and AXP 21064 DEC Alpha respectively. In 1995, Intel's P5 Pentium chip ran at 100 MHz

  4. Electronic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator

    Simple relaxation oscillator made by feeding back an inverting Schmitt trigger's output voltage through a RC network to its input.. An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current (AC) signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, [1] [2] [3] powered by a direct current (DC) source.

  5. Clock signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_signal

    Clock signal and legend. In electronics and especially synchronous digital circuits, a clock signal (historically also known as logic beat) [1] is an electronic logic signal (voltage or current) which oscillates between a high and a low state at a constant frequency and is used like a metronome to synchronize actions of digital circuits.

  6. Armstrong oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_oscillator

    The Armstrong oscillator [1] (also known as the Meissner oscillator [2]) is an electronic oscillator circuit which uses an inductor and capacitor to generate an oscillation. The Meissner patent from 1913 describes a device for generating electrical vibrations, a radio transmitter used for on–off keying .

  7. Frequency divider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_divider

    A free-running oscillator which has a small amount of a higher-frequency signal fed to it, will tend to oscillate in step with the input signal. Such frequency dividers were essential in the development of television. It operates similarly to an injection locked oscillator. In an injection-locked frequency divider, the frequency of the input ...

  8. 555 timer IC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_IC

    A second resistor in parallel, the new timing is half the table time. A second resistor in series, the new timing is double the table time. 2.5 ms (0.25x) ≅ 100 nF and 22.75 kΩ (four 91 kΩ resistors in parallel), 5 ms (0.5x) ≅ 100 nF and 45.5 kΩ (two 91 kΩ resistors in parallel), 10 ms (1x) ≅ 100 nF and 91 kΩ (values from table),

  9. RC oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_oscillator

    Another common design is the "Twin-T" oscillator as it uses two "T" RC circuits operated in parallel. One circuit is an R-C-R "T" which acts as a low-pass filter. The second circuit is a C-R-C "T" which operates as a high-pass filter. Together, these circuits form a bridge which is tuned at the desired frequency of oscillation.
