You want a crystal oscillator circuit, right? You do a lot of circuit diagrams. How much frequency and waveform do you want?
This is a simple Crystal oscillator circuit using 74LS04. It provides a square wave of 1MHz to 10MHz. Using an inverter gate IC and controls output frequencies with crystal.
I will show you circuit ideas below.
Crystal Oscillator circuit using 74LS04
The oscillators or frequency generators provide a waveform in various forms.
For example, sine wave, Triangular waveform, and square wave. They generate the frequencies to be a base time. To control an electronic circuit.
The crystal oscillator circuit like this gets popular uses in digitals.
The other oscillators will use transistors or FET to connect to a network circuit. They may use several parts. For example:
- The resistor and a capacitor in the RC oscillator circuit.
- The wires or coil and capacitors are the LC-oscillator circuit
- Using a crystal to join with the resistor.
How Crystal Oscillator Circuit Works
In the circuit below is the simple oscillator that generates the square wave or DC pulse.
They match the crystal and two resistors. To work instead of the RC network circuit. Then, Look at this circuit.
- Use the crystal of 1MHz to 10MHz.
- And the resistors from 1K to 4.7K. Both resistors R1 and R2 must be the same resistance.
- Working with two inverter gates within IC1
They can generate the output constant frequency of 1MHz to 10 MHz. It depends on that crystal.
Though the stability of this output frequency has slight defects. Because of its temperature changes while working. Which affects the capacity within the crystal and making frequency tolerances.
But it has very less value. When compared with the common oscillators. That uses RC or LC network.
Next, look at a power supply. This circuit uses a low current consumption and constant power supply of 5V.
Using DCV supply of 9-12 volts comes to DC regulator IC2-78L05. To keep output to A steady voltage. There are capacitor C1 and C3 filter current to smooth.
Then, C2 pulls a high frequency that contamination from the power supply to the ground. And protect against Interference that may occur to the circuit.
For IC1 may be LS, HC, or HCT types.

Testing Crystal oscillator using TTL 74LS04
I like the TTL crystal oscillator circuit. Because it is good and enjoyable. It just the signal status “1” and “0” only. And the frequency generator is a circuit that I like.
However, when studying the TTL IC., Which is the basis of a digital circuit that everyone should learn it.
Although it can be tricky about the power supply to 5V fixed and high current consumption. It can be used with very high frequency.
When we need a highly accurate, it uses the crystal frequency control better.
This is a simple and cheap crystal oscillator circuit, that we use a few parts comprises a TTL digital number SN7404 or SN74LS04 (Package contains six inverters), four resistors and a crystal.
The tree inverters gate are biased into their linear regions by R1 to R4, and the crystal provides the feedback.
Oscillation can only occur at the crystals basic frequency, for example, we need frequency is 2MHz, we chose crystals as a 2 MHZ.
The output signal has formed is Square wave Oscillator at 5Volt p-p.
Simple TTL Crystal Oscillator circuit
We test them on a breadboard. We use a 3.579545 MHz crystal then measure frequency output show on LED display highly accurate.
However, If you think that this circuit is not good enough for you.
You can see the crystal oscillator circuit is as follows:
Quartz watch crystal oscillator circuit
My Friend wants a Pulse Generator Oscillator circuit. It is stable frequency at 32.768kHz with a watch crystal. To his digital CMOS binary counter. So he tell to me even low prices.
I think maybe used the watch crystal and IC4069 or IC4049 inverter CMOS IC.
They are very cheap and we can look at the general electronics stores.
In the circuit figure first, be produces to square waveform the other part I think you can know them, it very simple. If you take up the voltage power supply to 12V doing the output volt peak up to 12V as well.
But this circuit do not well for high frequency, you should use this a better: Crystal oscillator using TTL
My son gets a watch crystal from the Cheap Quartz Alarm Clocks.
They are not yet durable. But we can take a well-used component to reuse new our projects.
Inside Cheap Quartz Alarm Clock, there is a component on PCB.
Here is the watch crystal at 32.768KHz
He examined test waveform with oscilloscope. It is a square wave signal.
Then measure the frequency output by a frequency counter Kits. It is the cheapest tool.
The frequency is 32771Hz or 32.771KHz. Meter accuracy Low. And we can adjust the frequency output with the C1-56pF trimmer.

3# CD4060 crystal oscillator circuit
This is a 1Hz oscillator circuit for a standard digital clock, frequency size 1 Hz or 2 Hz. It can be used in the normal clock circuit. It consists of IC-4060 and IC-4013, the IC-4060 single-acting Oscillator and Counter. of the frequency determined by the resistor and external capacitor.
In the circuit, IC 4060 is a standard frequency generator with quartz crystal. The adjustment period with C2, and counter circuits within the IC 4060 will be only 2 Hz frequency dividing out the pin 3. The IC-4015 is the style of TF / F to divide two of the Clock signal frequency is out 1 Hz.
The full voltage the same power supply level. And you change to another waveform easily.

Dear
Readers
I want an CMOS level design of the Crystal wt can i do For that please give any suggestion…
Sir,
I was trying to find the solution for non working of similar circuit made with SN7400, as used in one of reputed working instrument. Your circuit is similar to existing problematic circuit except IC SN7404. Both are not oscillating to any frequency, tried with all version of TTL logic. Can you pl explain the reason and solution for it.Will be obliged for solution through email.
