Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A Pierce oscillator uses a quartz crystal rated at 20 MHz. If you want to design a circuit where you can have the output frequency oscillating slightly around this value, describe how you would implement this.

💡 Hint: Consider the effect of loading on the frequency.

Question 2

Discuss the overall impact of component tolerance on the performance of a Pierce oscillator. What are the consequences of poor component quality?

💡 Hint: Think about how variations can affect overall circuit performance.
