Topic summary

For generating a low distortion 100kHz sine wave oscillator using inexpensive ICs, a common approach is the RC phase shift oscillator employing a decent operational amplifier, three resistors, and three capacitors, with one resistor adjustable to set frequency. This design offers very low distortion and requires the amplifier gain to compensate for attenuation in the phase shift network. Alternatively, a 555 timer IC can be used to generate a square wave, followed by an RC filter to reduce harmonics, though this method may introduce more distortion and requires careful symmetry in the square wave. The XR2206CP function generator IC is another option, providing about 0.5% typical sine wave distortion and better stability than phase shift oscillators, though it is obsolete but still available. For enhanced frequency stability, a 4046 PLL can be used to lock the oscillator to a crystal reference. References and example schematics for RC phase shift oscillators using 741 op amps and transistor-based designs were also shared.
