Abstract
The current-feedback operational amplifier-based sinusoidal oscillator circuit includes a pair of CFOAs connected to each other using five resistors and two capacitors. The condition and the frequency of oscillation are fully coupled, and thus none of them can be controlled without disturbing the other. The oscillator circuit provides a high impedance output current and two low impedance output voltages.
