rc oscillator

Hello,

 

I have tried to simulate an 3 stage RC oscillator, with the correct gain to start oscillating, but to no avail.

I've attached the simulation, does anyone know where i've gone wrong?

 

many thanks

Hi John,

 

According to the oscillation condition the value of R4 in your circuit should be less than 8.4kOhms.

Please review that and set R4 to a value less than this number and it should work.

 

Good luck,

Hi Mahmoud,

 

Many thanks for your help, it does work after I changed R4 to 8k.

I thought that R5 should be 29 times the value of R4?

 

If possible could you explain the theory behind your choice of R4?

 

Thanks again

 

John

may i asking something. where do you get the R4 is 8.4k. as i know. R1 must be 10R. can u show me the calculation. here i attach my circuit. i cant get my wave
