This is the fourth part of tutorial about making an interactive animated Excel model of a gated ring oscillator in MS Excel 2003. This section adds a joystick to the model which smoothly adjusts the RC delay constant (vertical movement) and the number of delay stages within the ring (horizontal movement). An additional function of the joystick is to control the gating… Read More... "An Interactive Gated Ring Oscillator Tutorial – part #4"
An Interactive Gated Ring Oscillator Tutorial – part #3
This is the third part of tutorial about making an interactive animated Excel model of a gated ring oscillator in MS Excel 2003. This section deals with upgrading the model from a static table based one (with only 800 time steps) to a hybrid static-dynamic which is reasonably fast, yet it can run for an indefinite number of time… Read More...

An Interactive Gated Ring Oscillator Tutorial – part #2
This is the second part of tutorial walking through the creation of an interactive animated Excel model of a gated ring oscillator in MS Excel 2003. This section is mainly concerned with the generation of the spin buttons, the macros assigned to them and the insertion of the worksheet functions modeling the NAND gate, the inverters and the delayless multiplexer. Towards the end of the… Read More... "An Interactive Gated Ring Oscillator Tutorial – part #2"
An Interactive Gated Ring Oscillator Tutorial – part #1
This is the first part of tutorial explaining how to make an interactive animated Excel model of a gated ring oscillator in MS Excel 2003. Like most of the models on this site this model will run fine in newer Excel versions too. A delay based model was used for the logic gates which was previously discussed.
