Logic Noise: 4046 Voltage-Controlled Oscillator, Part One

In this session of Logic Noise, we’ll be playing around with the voltage-controlled oscillator from a 4046 phase-locked loop chip, and using it to make “musical” pitches. It’s a lot of bang for the ...

Building a JFET voltage-tuned Wien bridge oscillator

Since the derivation of the Wien network by Physicist Max Wien (prior work was the ballistic bridge by J. C. Maxwell) in 1891, this network has been used in many oscillators’ designs. One of the most ...
