Abstract

Two novel oscillator circuits with both voltage and current outputs are proposed. The two oscillators are related to each other by the adjoint network theorem. Each oscillator employs a current follower and a voltage follower, and has the advantage of independent control on the frequency of oscillation and the condition of oscillation. A new minimum R,C oscillator with voltage and current outputs is also given. Two new two-resistor two-capacitor, current-mode and voltagemode oscillators are also included. PSpice simulation results illustrating the performance of the oscillator circuits are included.
