In this episode of electronic basics I will talk about how important oscillators are in circuits and how the three main principles work in order to create them. These are RC relaxation circuits, LC tank circuits and crystal oscillators.

Thanks for the video, it clears up some of my confusion when it comes to tank circuits. I have always maintained that if you can learn one new thing every day, it will keep your mind active, and prevent age related deterioration. You sir, are keeping my mind young and active. Combine this with our desire to see new and wonderful things by traveling these United States of America, and I can stay young for ever!
You SIR are the new teacher that I am following ! Rekindling my physics and electronics that I lost while learning medicine ! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Well done! You managed to cover a lot of oscillator theory in a nice little video. A must see for beginners or oscillator nerds :)
One of the best videos on youtube about oscillators. thank you!!
thank you so much. this video is exactly what i needed right now. im currently studying oscillators and was having a bit of hard time wraping my head around things. please keep this series. thanks again.
I was lost right after he said, "if you ever tried to find out..."

THanks for the great tech bite...Always enjoy these videos!
This oscillated my mind. Thanks
Love your videos man! Wish i had your workshop so i could try all these things
Nice and straightforward information as always... Great job!!!
Thanks you for your time in making these video's. Somethings i understand but a lot is over my head. I still like to watch them. again thank you.
If I only had a fraction of your knowledge I would be a happy man. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻
Very nice and educational video. Oscillators are really fun to play with - blinking LED's, buzzers and tone generators, high voltages and flyback oscillators, spy bugs and so on fun stuff that's easy and fun to make.
i've been looking for a video like this, thanks!
your videos helped me a lot in electronic basics, thanks a lot man.
I just love your videos! Keep up the good work!
I'll probably look at this a few times, great job.
A lot of that went over my head. I might have to watch this video a couple more times
As always great video!!!
Very well explained. Look forward to next time :)
Perfect for a bicycle lighting system :)
best one basic video yet greatscott! learned a ton!

Finally! That LC circuit I made at uni makes sense!
alhamdulillah.. I got the clearly explanation.. thanks mas bro
great job man, thanks
Amazing video!
That intro is pretty cool.
I recently learned that you can make a square and triangle wave oscillator using a single op amp. It is simply an RC circuit in a comparator (I think that is what the configuration is). The capacitor determines the frequency range. Higher = Lower frequency range. I used a 10uF capacitor and my range was 1-200Hz.
Thank you so so so so much! Your videos are excellent, and I finally got the astable multivibrator working!!! :))) Keep making more awesome videos!! Thank you so much =D
I like this series .

Great intro to oscillators ... makes high frequency oscillators look a lot less scary now!
Would love more on the crystal oscillators
Thank you I learned a lot!
It's a very nice video, much appreciated.
Thanks i learned something:) Really cool channel keep up the good work :D
I built one simple Pearson-Anson oscillator. It creates a saw tooth signal with a glow lamp and was used in analog sound synthesizers. Glow lamps have also been used in noise generators.
thanks for all great information you give it to us i from egypt
Thanks a lot man that was very helpful.
very informative and efficient time usage
great video. good explanation.
You're more didactic than my professors in uni
excellent thanks man!
good video great scot i learn a lot of your video's
woow so much information to assimilate if you're not really involved into such electronics
I like your all electronic videos
very well explained
Pff .. finally i founded usefull video . Now i know how oscillator works thanks a lot ! God bless u 👋
Awesome serious thank you.
Great job sir.
Great video! :D I really like these video series. Viele Grüße aus Nordböhmen. ;)
Can you make a video where you show in detail how to use the oscillator at 4:39 and how to vary the frequency with audio. Also how to make a FM transmitter.
Thanks .. good project
Very interesting! Thanks. Can you advise a method to obtain a considerable current as the output of a function generator? As an example to feed an electric motor?
love your videos man

Great informative video, I learned a lot here, thank you. What kind of pen do you use for your schematics?
can you make a video on how to mecanically change the refresh rate on a multimeter? that would be nice!
your videos are the best electronics tutorials on youtube. if only you didn't have an accent... nothing's perfect i guess.
Great video
Tbh the only video I found it answer my question
Very informative
Please make a video about osciloscope, i find yours very useful. Thanks!
Can you also explain oscillators with variable frequency, which are stable (keep the same waveform without attenuation or distortion) throughout their whole spectrum?

thanx for the info .. but realy how are you .. you are genius .. i love your work .. i dont stud electronics .. but i learn alot from you ..keep the good works on ...👍👍
The 555 Timer is a versatile device making it simple to make oscillators and others.
great explanation, thanx. but what to do with the oscillator once you have it?

+Dafuq Ucare As a start it is always fun to turn LEDs ON and OFF ;-) But I will show some other applications in future videos.
I just come across this video. But I have a little question about this oscillator circuit like LC or crystal oscillator... Can any one of this be used with an inverter circuit to produce since wave at 50Hz?
would you make a video about how to measure inductance?

Apply a known high frequency square wave with a known voltage and measure current flowing through it, then you can calculate the freq. by using the coil reactance formula backward.
So beatiful, thak you, from México City
Awesome!

i thought crystal oscillators were some sort of a fancy capacitor. Now i have something thats knteresting in my parts box now. thanks for the explaination!
Could you talk about oscillation damping and where they could be used?
Well done sir
Another great video 👏 👏 Look forward to watching your videos as they're so well made,keep it up look forward to the next installment,have shared this to twitter hope thats ok? Also recommended your videos to lot of collegues Well done & thanks👍

I learned more in one video than In one semester at school ,,😮
Hi! One query: I have to perform an oscillator to maintain a QCM at its resonant frequency which is 10 [MHz]. I could use the last circuit you showed but I don't understand how to choose the components according to what the resonant frequency is. Very good video. Greetings from Argentina.
I am doing RLC circuits with timing applications in my circuits class and timing with E clock and input/output compare functions in my microprocessors class now so this vid is perfectly timed(pun intended) for me now.
awesome do you make a video on transistor oscillators by doing only crystal and only LC , RC
I like your videos. Good work. At 4:33 I don't understand what's what. There's one coil but three caps and I don't understand which cap of them that makes up the "tank circuit".
Can you do a video on capacitor types and what each type is typically used for.
One of the best video on oscillators other than electroboom But you could have made it more long. Please make a very long and informative video on oscillators. Please. It's very important to understand. Thanks
Great video. I need to create a 2khz oscillator to drive a buzzer. The frequency must be stable at 2khz and must support head and a voltage between 10-16 volts without changing much. Do you know witch would be the right oscillator circuit to achieve this task?
I find your videos (GreatScott) is much simpler to understand than afrotechmods. Still, both are good!
The cap you put on the 555, for what voltage was it rated?
Out of all the things I've learned about electronics... the biggest thing by far... I need an power supply/oscilloscope. Thank you for this video though, very informative.
Thank you
Super sir i learn some much from your channel do more videos sir I am your fan sir
Where did you find the last circuit (the one with the crystal)? I want to know the fundamentals and design characteristics, please!
awsome videos watching some of your older videos your english has actually improoving with time and more videos ,you probably dont notice it yourself,go watch your oldest video then your newest video you will hear it
great Scott, am a Nigerian ..learnt so much in electronics through your channel..though only the geeky can get along with your videos.. pls make a video about registers.. thanks

I have idea for next video of this series : logic gate. Please I am very impressed about this.
Thank you.
Thank you for this video, I used the topology at 4:39 for the colpitts and it works perfectly. However, I cannot really grasp how the LC tank is formed (inductor is not in parallel with the two capacitors), and how the output of the LC tank is connected to the input of the amp ( I don't see a feedback path going to the base of the bjt). Could someone please briefly answer me those two questions? Thanks

1) It is an LC series resonance circuit 2) The capacitor voltage divider is connected to emitter resistance, it acts as a negative feedback.
Thank u
