Calculate Oscillator Frequency





Formula

The formula to calculate the frequency of an RC oscillator is:

\[ \text{f} = \frac{1}{2 \pi R C \sqrt{2 N}} \]

What is Oscillator Frequency?

An oscillator frequency is typically used to describe the frequency in hertz that an RC or RLC oscillator resonates at. It is a critical parameter in designing circuits that require precise timing and frequency control.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the oscillator frequency:

\[ \text{f} = \frac{1}{2 \pi \times 1000 \times 0.000001 \times \sqrt{2 \times 2}} \approx 79.58 \text{ Hz} \]

This means that the oscillator frequency for this scenario is approximately 79.58 Hz.
