Circuit Simulator - Sawtooth Wave Generator
Sawtooth Wave Generator
Circuit Description:
This circuit is an oscillator that generates a sawtooth wave. It's basically the same circuit as the triangle wave oscillator, except that the resistor in series with the capacitor has been replaced by two resistors, each paired with a diode going in opposite directions. For the first half of the cycle, the capacitor charges through a 40k resistor, and for the other half, it quickly discharges through a 5k resistor.

I don't get it. It only starts oscillating after you disconnect the power. I need constant power. Well I guess its because nothing is drawing current to theres no where for the electricity in the wires to go.

The sawtooth waves only real use is for sound synthesis. Hook the output up to an 8 ohm speaker and connect the speaker to ground to hear a pure unfiltered sawtooth wave.

I tried the same circuit in multisim but the output is not coming may I know the reason?

@Author.
I tried this circuit. Its not producing waveform. I tried with different values.
