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 [...]

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 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.

One of the interesting features of CA3130 op-amp is its high input resistance, because using such high input resistance, we can build an astable multivibrator with high R/C ratios. The figure below shows the circuit’s schematic diagram, you can see the variable resistors to adjust the “on” and “off” periods independently. Resistors R1and [...]

Using VFC110 chip, we can build a high frequency voltage-to-frequency converter. The features of this chip include the capability of high frequency operation, disable function, and an on-board precision 5V reference. This precision reference can be used to provide reference for offsetting the VFC transfer function, as well as provide transducer or bridge excitation. As [...]
