Synchronous Oscillator - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I am trying to find information regarding the design of a synchronous oscillator. Can anyone guide me to a source that I can use?

Thank You

In what sense do you want the oscillator to be synchronous?

If it is to synchronize in an averaging sense to a reference frequency, the classic method is a Phase Locked Loop approach.

Another meaning is that an oscillator allways starts in a particular state eg rising slope of voltage, so it is synchronous in a Phase sense. There have been designs published in Designers' case Book (or Electronics Magazine?) over the pasr few years for this application. I believe a website has been set up indexing all of their published circuit notes.

I was interrupted half way thru by colleagues demanding I buy them coffee.

Anyways, the website I was thinking of is

www.discovercircuits.com

There is a search engine. Just search under "synchronous oscillator"
