This article will cover a little history of the Juno, discuss the theory of operation behind digital-controlled oscillators, analyze the circuit designs for the Juno 6/60 & the Juno 106, and discuss practical aspects of using DCOs. This article is somewhat lengthy and there is a lot of information here. I’ve tried my best to make this approachable for anyone with basic electronics knowledge, so if you feel confused or overwhelmed please reach out and I’ll be more than happy to include more details or change something so that it’s easier to understand.
