Saw-Tooth Wave Generator Circuit Diagram

This document describes a sawtooth wave generator circuit that uses two operational amplifiers. The first operational amplifier acts as a Schmitt trigger and the second acts as an integration circuit. The circuit produces a sawtooth wave by rapidly charging the capacitor with a small resistance when the Schmitt trigger output is positive, and slowly discharging it with a large resistance when the output is negative. This sawtooth wave can be used to control the scanning of an electron beam in a cathode ray tube. The circuit requires both positive and negative power supplies, and the resistors must satisfy the condition R3>R4 to oscillate. A second example circuit is also provided that uses a comparator and integrator to generate sawtooth and switching outputs.

SAW-TOOTH WAVE GENERATOR

Circuit Diagram:

The sawtooth wave oscillator which used the operational


amplifier. The composition of this circuit is the same as the
triangular wave oscillator basically and is using two operational
amplifiers. At the circuit diagram above, IC(1/2) is the Schmitt
circuit and IC(2/2) is the integration circuit. The difference with
the triangular wave oscillator is to be changing the time of the
charging and the discharging of the capacitor. When the output
of IC(1/2) is positive voltage, it charges rapidly by the small
resistance(R1) value.(When the integration output voltage falls)
When the output of IC(1/2) is negative voltage, it is made to
charge gradually at the big resistance(R2) value. The output
waveform of the integration circuit becomes a form like the
tooth of the saw. Such voltage is used for the control of the
electron beam (the scanning line) of the television, When
picturing a picture at the cathode-ray tube, an electron beam is
moved comparative slow.(When the electron beam moves from
the left to the right on the screen)
Op-amp When turning back, it is rapidly moved.(When moving
from the right to the left)
Like the triangular wave oscillator, the line voltage needs both
of the positive power supply and the negative power supply.
Also, to work in the oscillation, the condition of R3>R4 is
necessary. However, when making the value of R4 small
compared with R3, the output voltage becomes small. The near
value is good for R3 and R4. You may make opposite if not
oscillating using the resistor with the same value. The circuit
diagram above is using the resistor with the value which is
different to make oscillate surely.
The oscillation frequency can be calculated by the following
formula.
A Typical Sawtooth Wave Generator Circuit
The circuit shown here is an another example of a sawtooth
wave generator. Like the previous circuit this circuit produces
two outputs. One is the VST, the sawtooth voltage from the
integrator. And the another output from the comparator
switching from negative saturation to zero level as shown in the
output waveform. The output from the integrator acts as a
comparision voltage for the comparator with the threshold
voltage generated from the potential divider.
