Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • VERY LOW POWER GATED CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
    The circuit gates the output of a continuously operating 32KHz crystal oscillator to the input of a C-MOS buffer when clock pulses are needed. The technique gets around the problem of a slow starting crystal oscillator by keeping the oscillator going and switching on a transistor power stage only as needed. The method keeps the standby power consumption to a very low 1uA when used with a 3v supply.

Square-wave modulator has variable frequency and pulse width -  8-Aug-02 Issue of EDN  A few years ago, I worked at a disk-drive company. We had a plating facility that required square waves to drive the high-voltage plating operation. The challenge was that the square wave's pulse width had to be variable, along with the duty cycle. Also, the amplitude of the pulses had to be adjustable.... [Design Idea by Michael Fisch, Agere Systems, Longmont, CO]
