Waveform generator circuits
• A Waveform Generator is a device

or circuit that produces a variety of
different waveforms at a desired frequency.
• It can generate Sine waves, Square waves,
Triangular and Saw tooth waveforms as well
as other types of output waveforms.
3
Oscillator circuits
• Oscillators are electronic circuits that produce a periodic waveform with only the dc
supply voltage as an input.
• Oscillator circuits convert direct current (DC) from power supply to an alternating
current (AC) signal.
4
Amplifier Vs. Oscillator
• An Amplifier produces output signal by • An Oscillator generates an out put

improving the amplitude of some signal from a DC input power. It does
external input signal. not require an external input signal.

Classification of Oscillators
 Electronic oscillators can be broadly divided in to three major classes:
• Harmonic /sinusoidal oscillator : Produces sinusoidal waveforms.
 Phase-shift oscillator
 Wien bridge oscillator
 Tuned oscillator
 Crystal oscillator
• Relaxation oscillator: Produces non-sinusoidal waveforms (square wave, triangle wave).
• Voltage controlled oscillator (VCO): Produces a variable frequency signal controlled by
input voltage.
6
Phase-Shift Oscillator
The amplifier must supply enough gain to
compensate for losses. The overall gain must
be unity.
The RC networks provide the necessary phase

shift for a positive feedback.
The values of the RC components also

determine the frequency of oscillation:
1
f
2π 6RC
7
Wien Bridge Oscillator
The amplifier must supply enough gain to

compensate for losses. The overall gain must
be unity.
• The feedback resistors are R3 and R4.
• The phase-shift components are R1, C1 and

R2 , C2.
8
Tuned Oscillator Circuits
Tuned oscillators use a parallel LC resonant circuit (LC tank) to provide the
oscillations.
There are two common types:
Colpitts —The resonant circuit is an inductor and two capacitors.
Hartley —The resonant circuit is a tapped inductor or two inductors and

one capacitor.
9
Colpitts Oscillator Circuit
• A Colpitts oscillator is the electrical dual of a Hartley
oscillator, where the feedback signal is taken from an
"inductive" voltage divider consisting of two capacitors
in series.
• The frequency of oscillation is determined by:
1
fo 
2π LC eq
where:
C 1C 2
C eq 
C1  C 2
10
Hartley Oscillator Circuit
• The Hartley oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit in
which the oscillation frequency is determined by a tuned
circuit consisting of capacitors and inductors, that is, an
LC oscillator.
• The circuit was invented in 1915 by American engineer
Ralph Hartley.
• The frequency of oscillation is determined by:
1
fo 
2π L eq C
where:
L eq  L 1  L 2  2M
11
Crystal Oscillators
A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses
the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric
material to create an electrical signal with a precise frequency.
The crystal has two resonant frequency models:
Series resonant condition

• RLC determine the resonant frequency
• The crystal has a low impedance
Parallel resonant condition

• RL and CM determine the resonant frequency
• The crystal has a high impedance
The series and parallel resonant frequencies are very close,

within 1% of each other.
12
Series Resonant Crystal Oscillator
• RLC determine the resonant
frequency
• The crystal has a low impedance
13
Parallel Resonant Crystal Oscillator
• RL and CM determine the resonant
frequency
• The crystal has a high impedance
14
Sample and Hold Circuits
• A sample and hold circuit is an analog device that samples a continuously varying analog
signal and holds its value at a constant level for a specified minimum period of time.
• They are typically used in analog-to-digital converters (ADC) to eliminate variations in
input signal.
15
Schmitt Trigger Circuits
• The Schmitt trigger is a binary circuit
and closely resembles a
multivibrator.
• It has two stable output states and
the magnitude of the input voltage
determines which of the two is
possible.
16
Multivibrators
• A multivibrator is an electronic circuit with two equilibrium states.
• They are useful as pulse generating, storing and counting circuits.
• There are three types of multivibrators:
 Astable multivibrator
 Monostabel multivibrator
 Bistable multivibrator
• They are basically two-stage amplifiers with positive feedback from the output of one
amplifier to the input of the other.
17
Types of Multivibrators
18
Astable/Free-running Multivibrator
• An astable is a multivibrator with
both states are unstable or the
circuit continuously toggles between
the states.
• When Q1 is OFF, Q2 is ON and vice
versa.
• Switching is depending on RC time
constant in the circuit.
19
Monostable Multivibrator
• In a monostable multivibrator, also
called one-shot only one state is stable.
• It can be brought into the unstable state
by applying an appropriate signal to the
trigger input.
• It has one energy-storing element i.e.
one capacitor.
20
Bistable Multivibrator
• In a bistable multivibrator, also
called flip-flop, both states are
stable.
• The circuit can be forces to go from
one state to another by applying an
appropriate signal to the trigger
input.

as shown here.
22
555 Timer Circuit
