SN74AHC1G00: SN74AHC1G00 design problem

Part Number: SN74AHC1G00
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC1G58, TINA-TI

Hi team,

Please check my circuit. If it is normal, there should be an oscillation at R25.

but ...

Please help to analyze it.

Best regards,

  • Your circuit should oscillate as shown, so long as Pin 1 of U8 is high -- however this type of oscillator is known to be unstable under some conditions. Most modern designs either use a Schmitt-trigger based oscillator or a triple inverter oscillator.

    This type of oscillator design also can create voltage spikes above the absolute maximum rating of the device:

    This occurs when the output of the second stage switches and the capacitor is already charged up to ~Vcc/2 resulting in ~7.5V at the input (with a 5V supply). 

    I would recommend to instead use an oscillator based on a single Schmitt-trigger inverter (or Schmitt-trigger input NAND gate):

    The SN74LVC1G58 can be configured as a single NAND gate and has Schmitt-trigger that will allow for this type of configuration.  I put together a simple oscillator from the model in the below tina-ti file:
