Which topology uses a tapped inductor for feedback?

  • A.Hartley
  • B.Colpitts, which taps a pair of capacitors instead
  • C.Clapp, which adds a third capacitor in series with the coil
  • D.Pierce

Answer: A

The Hartley takes its feedback from a tap on the coil, so the two inductive sections form the divider. The Colpitts uses a capacitive divider, the Clapp is a Colpitts with an extra series capacitor, and the Pierce is a Colpitts with a crystal in place of the inductor. Three of the four are variations on one arrangement, which is worth noticing because it means learning the Colpitts thoroughly gives most of the family.
