Using an RC lead-lag (phase shift) network and op-amp, a sinusoidal waveform oscillator can be created. The accompanying figure shows an example of the phase shift oscillator. There are three RC networks and a feedback loop. When the total phase amounts to 360 degrees, oscillation occurs. The frequency of the oscillation is determined by the sizes of the R and C.
If you need to work with Microchip Support staff directly, you can submit a technical support case. Keep in mind that many questions can be answered through our self-help resources, so this may not be your speediest option.
