Question A-005-001-008

In an oscillator circuit where positive feedback is obtained through a single capacitor in series with the crystal, the type of oscillator is:

Correct Answer

Pierce

Explanation

This describes a common configuration of the Pierce crystal oscillator, where the crystal is in series between the output and input of an inverting amplifier, and a capacitor (or capacitors to ground) completes the feedback path. However, the 'single capacitor in series with the crystal' might be misrepresenting the full feedback mechanism or referring to a specific variant.
