Linear actuators and oscillating systems constitute a vibrant area of research that bridges concepts in electromagnetism, mechanics and control engineering.

This Design Idea avoids the RC charging waveshape of a standard relaxation oscillator, replacing it with a linear rise/fall triangle wave. Positive feedback is used to increase the charging rate over ...

Unlike the iPhone 4S, which used a linear-oscillating vibrator, Apple has gone back to a rotational motor with a counterweight.We praised Apple in the past for going with the quieter and less ...

Linear Technology has released a set of simple small timing ICs, including: a voltage-controlled oscillator, a low frequency oscillator, four pulse width modulated oscillators, four monostable pulse ...

A traditional problem of nonlinear dynamics is one of a non-linear oscillator: it’s not chaotic, it doesn’t try to be chaotic, it’s just more complex than a linear oscillator (and more ...

It should be noted that the iPhone 5s uses a rotating mass type vibrator, which produces more motion and noise than a linear oscillator.

MEMS oscillator hits ±1ppb stability for 5G basestation hold-over SiTime has used MEMS instead of quartz crystals to make an oven-controlled oscillator with ±1ppb frequency stability and ±0.02ppb/°C ...

[Paul] likes a precise oscillator. His recent video shows a crystal oscillator with a “watch crystal” and a CMOS counter, the CD4060. Using such a circuit can produce very stable freque… ...
