Ring Wave Generator - Square Wave Clock With Nothing But An Inverter Chip - Simply Put

[@T3R3ZI.]

Subbed for the hole in the headset, the posters and "Let's do something stupid!" Stayed for the amazing clear explanations and interesting topics

You're a great teacher- looking forward to looking at more of your tutorials.

[@patrikstaron]

Nice! If I remember correctly, you can generate a sine wave with a transistor, or a couple of them and resistors, with feedback loop, based on transistor phase shift principle.

That sounds like a fun video to make.

love your films, keep going

Question if you were to input the square wave coming from the 555 ic into a cd40106 Schmitt trigger hex inverter gate then into the cd4013 the output waveform would be almost a near perfect square wave?

[@stevedonkers9087]

I built something similar, but it used a resistor and capacitor. I used a CD40106 Schmitt-trigger Hex Inverter, and because of how the hysteresis works the RC allows you to control the square wave somewhat.

[@simplyput2796]

That's the same setup as you'd have with a 555 timer basically, just without the discharge pin hookup, because the 555 is essentially a schmitt trigger connected to a latch.

Ring oscillators are used to test propagation delays in digital blocks of ICs, since it is quite easy and cheap to use several logic gates to build these test structures

I have a 3000w - 6000w peek generator that is produces a 240v modified sign. Is there a device that i can buy off of ebay / amazon that i can feed this source into that will output something close to a pure sign wave? Thanks

[@SouthShoreSonics]

Never had much luck with the CD4069 for ring oscillation. I was using the unbuffered one. But the CD40106 makes great unstable squares for me to feed into CD4094s!

[@parapos]

great info, thank you

[@stephaneshm3043]

very interresting, i will try it . so simple!

[@LordPhobos6502]

If you were *really* inclined to do so, you could use a CD4060 to divide the timer by whatever, and still keep chip count down. Just recently came across this chip, and it seems kinda fun :)

[@TBL_stevennelson]

Good video thanks

[@Электроника123-ы4н]

Cool. So by frequency we can calculate real propagation delay?

[@greeshsah]

5:00 What kind of headphone is that, no Speaker?

[@martinhorner642]

Sounds like the basis for a cheap hardware random number generator. Exaggerating the inconsistencies into useful values would probably mean a microcontroller, but it could be really small. Maybe ATTiny 4/5/9/10 sized. I'll have to think about this.

"Bucket" I really need to do something with my bucket-brigade-devices!

[@justtinkering6713]

Where is the square wave?

[@stevenaustin4591]

these are interesting vids but the really short cuts are more distracting than helpful :/

[@acenutella1196]

its just like minecraft

[@mark8664]

Look human, I like you but almost everyone needs a constant frequency, so thanks but no thanks... but I'm sure I will like all the other video's.
