Figure 1 555 VCO discharges timing cap C1 completely to the negative rail via a Reset pulse. The nay-sayers’ case hinged on a perceived inability of the 555 architecture to completely discharge the ...

This paper introduces a novel high-sensitivity readout circuit that leverages the resonant amplification effect of the LC network in an oscillator to generate high-voltage excitation signals. By ...

Part 1 shows how to make an oscillator with a pitch that is proportional to a control voltage. Part 2 shows how to modify the circuit for use with higher supply voltages, implement it using discrete ...

The new venue is due to bring F1 to the Spanish capital from next year with a 5.4-kilometer (3.4-mile) circuit laid out around an area of exhibition halls near Madrid’s main airport, using a mix of ...
