The first-generation integrator-hysteresis-switch FGs were replaced by a second-generation design scheme using current sources. The integrator-based FG loop can be improved by driving the integrating ...

Anyone searching for a function generator may be interested in a new DIY Arduino project which details how you can make your very own. “A function generator is a very useful tool, especially when we ...

If you have a modern function generator on your bench it is quite likely to contain a direct-digital synthesis circuit that creates arbitrary waveforms using a microprocessor controlled DAC. If you ...

Simple triangle-wave generators have a weakness in that the waveform of their output signal normally cannot be modified. The circuit presented here makes it possible to smoothly alter the waveform of ...

Commercial curve tracers have existed for decades. But designers without access to one can create a simple circuit that uses a function generator and oscilloscope to generate JFET transfer and ...

We needed a handheld, battery-powered signal generator with a sine-wave output that was continuously adjustable from 100 Hz to 10 kHz. For such a wide frequency range, we selected a function-generator ...

I take my hat off to engineers that know transistors in every intimate detail. The other day, searching for something else completely, I came across Nat Semi (now TI) document LB-38 ‘Wide range timer’ ...

Microcontroller addict [Debraj] decided to make his own programmable sine wave generator, and was able to put it together for under $40 USD. Other than low-cost, his list of requirements was as ...
