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!

    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.

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
