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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This circuit, a modification of a function-generator circuit, comprises a battery-powered sinewave generator that is continuously adjustable from 100 Hz to 10 kHz. We needed a handheld, ...

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’ ...

Wind Engineering, Vol. 12, No. 6 (1988), pp. 333-340 (8 pages) A slip-ring induction machine with power-electronic control of slip-energy can provide a cost effective variable-speed generator for ...

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 ...
