Signal Generators: Basics

This lecture covers the fundamentals of signal generators, including the operation of autonomous circuits used to generate periodic signals. It explains how the amplitude and frequency of the signal are determined by internal circuit elements. The astable flip-flop, a strong positive feedback system with two output states, is discussed in detail, along with its example implementations. The lecture also delves into the concept of phase shift oscillators and the generation of square and triangle waveforms.
