We’ve read a lot about oscillators, but crystal oscillators seem to be a bit of a mystery. Hobby-level books tend to say, build a circuit like this and then mess with it until it oscillates.

If you’ve ever fumbled through circuit simulation and ended up with a flatline instead of a sine wave, this video from [saisri] might just be the fix. In this walkthrough she demonstrates simulating a ...

A. Determine the frequency for the oscillator of the given circuit. Assume there is negligible loading on the feedback circuit and that its Q is greater than 10. B. Find the frequency if the ...
