Abstract :
The problem of linear inductance- and capacitance-time (L/T, C/T) conversion is approached through the systematic study of four approaches to building astable multivibrators using piecewise linear resistances obtained from one operational amplifier (OA) negative impedance converter (NIC) configuration. A new L/T converter with grounded inductance is found. Formulas for the time period taking into consideration the losses as well as the OA saturation output resistance are derived.
