Description: The crystal is positioned between the collector of the output stage and the base of the input stage. The oscillation frequency can be accurately adjusted using the trimmer capacitor CI. This circuit operates within a frequency range of 500 kHz to 10 MHz. Additionally, the range can be extended downward to 100 kHz by increasing the value of CI to 75 pF and adjusting the value of C2 to 22 pF.
The described circuit utilizes a crystal oscillator configuration, where the crystal serves as a frequency-determining element. In this setup, the crystal is connected between the output stage's collector and the input stage's base, which allows for stable oscillation. The precise frequency of oscillation is achieved through the use of a trimmer capacitor, CI, which can be adjusted to fine-tune the frequency output.
The operational frequency range of the circuit is from 500 kHz to 10 MHz, making it suitable for various applications requiring medium-frequency oscillation. To extend the frequency range downward to 100 kHz, modifications to the circuit components are necessary. By increasing the capacitance of CI to 75 pF and adjusting the capacitor C2 to 22 pF, the circuit can be adapted to operate effectively at lower frequencies.
It is important to note that the selection of the crystal and the values of the capacitors are critical to achieving the desired frequency stability and performance. The design must ensure that the components are rated appropriately for the intended frequency range and that the overall layout minimizes parasitic capacitance and inductance, which can affect the oscillation characteristics. Proper attention to these details will ensure reliable operation and optimal performance of the oscillator circuit across its specified frequency range.The crystal is placed between the collector of the output stage and the base of the input stage. The frequency of oscillation can be set to a precise value with trimmer capacitor CI.
