An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current (AC) signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, powered by a direct current (DC) source. Oscillators are found in many electronic devices, such as radio receivers, television sets, radio and television broadcast transmitters, computers, computer peripherals, cellphones, radar, and many other devices.

An autonomous circuit in analogue electronics is a circuit that produces a time-varying output without having a time-varying input . In digital electronics, an autonomous circuit may have a clock signal input, but no other inputs, and operates autonomously, cycling through a set series of states. A Moore machine is autonomous if it has no data inputs, the clock signal not counting as a data input. If a Moore machine has data inputs, they may determine what the next state is, even though they do not affect the outputs of any given state, and this is a non-autonomous circuit.
