Single-Op-Amp Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)

In this video we take a simple dual-supply, single-opamp, fixed-frequency oscillator circuit from the Texas Instruments datasheet of the TL082, analyze it with LTSpice, and check the simulations in the real world on a breadboard. We then continue to transform the circuit into a single-supply, low-voltage, voltage-controlled oscillator. The LTSpice simulations & Excel spreadsheet presented in this video can be found at: https://www.elektormagazine.com/labs/...
