From: Daku on 5 Jul 2010 03:01 Could some electronics guru please help ? Is there any commonly available reference design for an ultra low frequency voltage controlled oscillator ? I developed a 60 Hz center frequency SPICE model using common op-amps. I was wondering if there are any reference designs out there. Any feedback would be very useful. Thanks in advance for your help.

In a single range, this thing will go from 1Hz to 4.5MHz. That was with Ct = 680pF. Put in, say, 0.1uF and it will gladly do milihertz. Tim -- Deep Friar: a very philosophical monk.

There's one on the LM324 datasheet that will be happy enough at 60Hz, plus it only uses 10-15 cents worth of parts. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

From a DC (or rectified AC) source of more tha 100 volts. A resistor, a neon and a capacitor. Size of capacitor determines rate. I think it used to be called a 'Relaxation oscillator'? |
