The linearity of triangular waveforms makes the triangular-wave generator useful in sweep circuits and test equipment. For example, switched-mode power supplies and induction motor-control circuits ...

Semiconductors are the essential component fueling the growth of industries such as automotive, renewable energy, communications, information technology, defense, and consumer electronics. The rise of ...

In the last installment of Circuit VR, we walked around a simplified buck converter. The main simplification was using a constant PWM signal. The result is that the output voltage is a fixed fraction ...

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 ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 7. This simple, robust, and low-cost signal generator, based on the LM386 power amplifier IC, provides a trio of audio-band signals ...

The behavior of analog circuits can often be characterized by sweeping their inputs with a signal going across a range of frequencies and then observing the output. These sweeps can be composed of ...
