The underlying principle behind CCOs involves the conversion of a direct current input into a frequency output. This
is made possible due to the nature of the reactive components – the capacitors and inductors – within the oscillator
circuit. When a current is applied to these components, it causes a change in the charge or magnetic field, which in
turn generates an oscillating voltage. The frequency of this voltage oscillation is determined by the current flowing
through the circuit.
Applications:
CCOs are used in a variety of applications. Some of the most common uses include: Frequency Synthesis: CCOs are
used in frequency synthesizers that are often found in radios and telecommunication
