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 ...

FUNCTION GENERATORS A basic function generator produces sine, square, and triangular waves from about 0.2 Hz up to 20 MHz or so. Some units offer linear ramps and positive and negative pulses ...

I hereby declare 2005 “The year of the waveform generator” because of the unusually high number of product introductions. I've identified eight companies that have introduced function or arbitrary ...

Fig 1. This basic VCO/waveform generator IC circuit includes a voltage follower loop (formed with IC1) and symmetry feedback loop (IC3) to eliminate an asymmetric duty cycle, which would cause ...

Test applications often call for a clock signal. Rather than tie up a function generator, you can build a programmable clock generator with just two ICs. You can then control the clock generator with ...
