LM324: How to Create Sine Wave Output

AI Thread Summary
The LM324 op-amp does not inherently produce a sine wave; it requires additional circuitry to generate such a waveform. Users often need to implement AC coupling or other configurations to achieve sine wave output. The datasheet provides guidance on designing oscillators that can produce sine waves. It is essential to understand that the op-amp functions as part of a larger circuit. Proper setup and additional components are necessary for sine wave generation.

Hello

i would like to know, how does LM324 create a sine wave after the output of the op amp??

thanks

It doesn't. What are you asking about? An opamp does nothing on its own without some other circuitry...

Are you possibly thinking of how to ac couple the op amp? This is in it's datasheet.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
