Triangle waveform generator

摘要

A triangle waveform generator having a comparator which drives an integrator via a limiter is disclosed. At the output of the integrator, the desired triangular waveform voltage is present. The output of the integrator is connected to a first input of the comparator. The output of the comparator is fed back to its first input via a resistor. The output of the integrator is coupled via an integral action controller to a second input of the comparator. The integral action controller has a substantially longer time constant than the integrator. With this circuit, a triangular voltage is obtained, the parameters of which, namely, the slope and the positive and negative peak values, depend only on resistors and reference voltages which can be set within narrow tolerances.
