%X A new electronically controllable sinusoidal oscillator employing two voltage differencing-differential input buffered amplifiers (VD-DIBAs), two grounded capacitors, and one grounded resistor is presented. The proposed configuration offers (i) independent control of condition of oscillation (CO) and frequency of oscillation (FO) formerly by resistance and later through transconductance, (ii) low active and passive sensitivities, and (iii) a good frequency stability. The workability of the proposed configuration has been demonstrated by SPICE simulation. 1. Introduction Sinusoidal oscillators find numerous applications in communication, control systems, signal processing, instrumentation, and measurement systems. In the recent past, a large number of single resistance controlled oscillators (SRCOs) have been proposed, see [1¨C11]; however, in all these SRCOs, the frequency of oscillation can be controlled by varying the values of resistances involved. Obviously, by replacing one of the grounded resistors by JFETs/MOSFETs, electronic tunability can be established, see [2, 4] and the references cited therein. Electronically controllable sinusoidal oscillators (ECSOs) based on different active building blocks are available in the literature, see [12¨C17] and the references cited therein. The advantages, applications, and usefulness of recently introduced new active building block named voltage differencing-differential input buffered amplifier (VD-DIBA) are now being recognized in the literature [18¨C20]. Recently, electronically controllable grounded and floating simulated inductance circuits using VD-DIBAs have been introduced in [20]. However, to the best knowledge and belief of the authors, no ECSO using VD-DIBAs has yet been presented in the open literature so far. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to propose a new ECSO using VD-DIBAs along with a minimum possible number of grounded passive components, which offers (i) independent control of oscillation frequency and condition of oscillation, (ii) low active and passive sensitivities, and (iii) a good frequency stability factor. 2. The Proposed Configuration The schematic symbol and behavioral model of the VD-DIBA are shown in Figures 1(a) and 1(b), respectively [18]. The model includes two controlled sources: the current source controlled by differential voltage , with the transconductance , and the voltage source controlled by differential voltage , with the unity voltage gain. The VD-DIBA can be described by the following set of equations: Figure 1: (a) Schematic symbol, (b) behavioral model of
