OPA228 as oscillator

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA228

Hi,

I'm currently using OPA228 as sine wave oscillator (Wien-bridge) .
And here are several dumb problems that bugs me for a while.

1. There are some spikes on both positive and negative side of output wave.
Is it good to put small capacitor (12pF) between +VCC/-VCC and output in oscillator?

2. Is it okay leaving the trimming pins(1&8) disconnected? (output offset is already small enough)

3. Bandwidth of OPA228 is 33MHz according to datasheet.
Yet, heavy distortion occurs at 100kHz on my Wien-bridge oscillator.
Is this phenomenon normal? Or are there still some condition out of my concern?

Thank for any advice!

Hi Kuo,

Is it possible for you to attach the schematic details?

Hi Hooman,

Of course!

Here's my schematic circuit.
R= 2.7kOhm, C = 5.6nF for 10kHz sine wave

and here's current output waveform

Hi Kuo,

I'm sorry. I don't understand enough about how your oscillator functions to offer any help. I hope other people on the forum can jump in and help out.
