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 ...

A relaxation oscillator is an oscillator based upon the performance of a physical system’s resending to equilibrium after being disturbed. It is a dynamical system within the oscillator continuously ...

Designers seeking a quick and easy frequency source often use a relaxation oscillator (Fig. 1) based on digital gates such as the 74HC14 inverter with hysteresis. The oscillator is also useful in ...

Covalent adaptable network (CAN) has attracted significant interest in the soft matter community, as it enables stress relaxation in a crosslinked polymer network. However, all CAN systems have ...
