Pierce Crystal Oscillator Design: The Pierce oscillator is essentially a common emitter amplifier with a tuned circuit for a collector load and a quartz crystal as a feedback element. In order to determine whether the Barkhausen criteria is satisfied, loop gain must be determined at the frequency of oscillation. This is accomplished by drawing the AC equivalent circuit of the Pierce Oscillator.
