Waveform generator is very useful in electronic experiment and design. This circuit generate sine wave oscillation, but actually we can modify the circuit to generate triangle or square wave function. Lets see its schematic diagram first, here it is: The core of this waveform generator is MAX038. This integrated circuit chip gives complete [...]

Op-amps has been widely used in low frequency oscillator (frequency <= 100kHz), but we can actually use it for high frequency crystal oscillator as long as we have an op-amp with the proper bandwidth. An excellent gain stages can be implemented using LT1190 and LT1191 op-amps. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: [...]

This sine wave generator is adjustable between 15 Hz to 150 kHz. The circuit is basically a Wien-bridge oscillator, with multiple capacitor selection. Here is the schematic diagram: A stereo 10k potentiometer is used to control the frequency. The dashed line connecting these two potentiometers show that both potentiometer has single axis.

This is a simple sawtooth generator circuit. The advantages of this circuit are low cost and produces an auxiliary square wave at the same frequency. This circuit can be used to sweep the frequency of another generator. Here is the circuit : A voltage-controlled current source is formed by IC1 with R1 and [...]

This voltage-controlled oscillator circuit is very compact and has a good linearity. The author said that the precision could be better than 0.01% If this circuit is properly constructed. Moreover, this circuit gives three different output waveforms: square, triangle, and sawtooth. This three waveform is important for music synthesizer and measurement [...]
