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basically the same circuit as the triangle wave oscillator, except that the resistor in series with the capacitor has been replaced by two resistors, each paired with a diode going in opposite directions.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 tried the same circuit in multisim but the output is not coming may I know the reason?

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.

I do not have waveform in the output! Why?

Works only with dual power supply op amps. If you have a single supply op amp you need to modify the positive input of second op amp (and maybe the negative input of first op amp as well).

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 have tried with LM358 opamp with single power supply by adding virtual zero point. Worked well. Added another opamp and a pot to produce variable PWM signal.
