after getting enough of the shortcomings with the quadrature and the wien bridge

these ones are not much better . . . yet :

  • + the oscillation amplitude is determined
  • + the oscillation voltage range is defined (offsets)
  • – unfortunately avail. starting from above the 200Hz
  • + the fixed frequency can be set by RC

yet another 32768Hz Quartz Osc.

Blind tuned to work with some consequences from . . . at 5V v. of it . . .

-- with the single BJT stages and the battery feed and "sensitive"(tuned) oscillators -- it is most unlikely to get anything "properly" to work -- . . . -- moreover with the 1.2 volt battery the grid has to be tuned to work in 3 different areas of operation of the bipolar transistor -- low-voltage (below normal) , normal voltage (for BE CE voltage drops) and hi-voltage (above normal) -- that has to be achieved with fixed biasing elements -- . . . -- in below circuit the critical elements appeared to be C1 , C8 , C4 , C10 -- less C1 more C8 ... also the series connection of C4 and C10 = Cp of the X-tal resonator it first started to "charge" the X-tal with ratio 1.2x : 6x Cp but as i increased C8 the opt. ratio changed to 1.5x : 3x Cp ???


the "above normal" range ↓↓ -- i just fast tuned it just to "charge" the X-tal -- this to see if the current waveform for X-tal goes "trapezoidal" (← failure in a sense of frequency stability -- i assume) or stays Sine . . . . . . . . . well it stayed sine -- but for this one the further frequency tuning and likely some attenuation is a must ↓↓↓↓ (see next) . . .



there is a very simple circuit for 8MHz crystal but (it requires less energy for startup) and it also works only with very narrow range of the supply parameters -- so -- it can't be simply adapted for 32k
. . . ?amazingly i've already proven it otherwise ???

8MHz ::


the C14 caused pulsation is likely causing and the instability in the 5v experiment above ↑↑↑↑

32kHz ::

testing out the custom xx78L05xxx variant

amazingly -- worked from scratch -- no matter the blind guessed j-Fet and Zener values and much randomly chosen 2N2222 and 2N2907 for "tech."

but the OUTP voltage little drifts with INP voltage and the fold-back (from140mA) starts to work from 14V external supply ( ? wrong zeners . . . )

the model is currently adjusted to 5.0V at Abs.Max 35.0V input

as usual the component level model (78L05) is more stable than the .cir net-list model ( LT1761-5 )


NB! Not all the plotted parameters are relevant/consistent with the ↑↑ shown test
(they are relics from another grid that was used as a draft for these ones)

"Level 2" ::

. . . with custom LM324 CLM ( Component Level Model ) (( which i also needed to test ))


This is why the net-list models are not good at complex circuits ↓↓ (i actually didn't expect to get it "stable" . . .)

web buck-boost to custom (Spice-)experimental boost

src.::
mod.::

PS!!! -- Not proofed for startup or for a specific situation switching errors such as (switching fades or changes to too long cycle length = too high current through MOSFET . . .)

-- also it likely can be converted for better efficiency (87% - - might include and some conceptual changes next to just adjusting the inductor and frequency values)

-- target parameters INP : 5V (up to Lim.) 1.5A ; OUTP : about 12V (up to) 200+some mA

"LM301" test 2

Offset test ::
(was even "passed" to my surprise ? ** is a good Op Amp after all)


However since it's frequency capabilities set it more to audio range - a random internet bootstrapped Op Amp circuit test ::
((this is actually a good - better than expected - result . . . again! **))
