Colpitts Crystal Oscillator

We can create Crystal Colpitts oscillator using a parallel mode crystal and a transistor. The circuit shown by the following figure

As an inductance, this circuit uses crystal. The crystal circuit consist of a large value capacitive divider that is  used between gate, a small series capacitor, ground, and source. Component’s values that we choose must …

Op-Amp Colpitts Oscillator

Colpitts oscillator can be implemented using op-amp as long as we have an op-amp with proper bandwidth. Here is an example of such circuit:

LT1190 or  LT1191 op-amps is used to serve as an excellent gain stages. Limiting the gain is done by two Schottky diodes, that maintain the signal at approximately +11dBm.  This circuit give …
