hey guys ... first of all this is my first post here..and i just want 2 say u r doin' great...
i need a small help ... i have a schematics that gererate a sawtooth and a square wave ..i want 2 modify that design so i have gererate a sin wave also ..thnx
hi,
To get a decent sinewave from your circuit is not easy.
I would suggest that the 'front end' is a sinewave osc, which is then squared up using a compartor. This will give a 'square' wave that can drive the integrator to provide a sawtooth.
Does this help?.
Get this application note #31, lotsa examples. **broken link removed**
hi mohaisen,
I'm also a new member her, just an advice for you not use "2" as replacement to "to" , let say " 2V 2 5V " is different from "2v to 5v". As respect to other member please Don't use "SMS text" type messages. Welcome to forum!!
A pure sine-wave has no harmonics.
A pulse-wave and sawtooth-wave have both even and odd harmonics.
A square-wave and a triangle-wave have only odd harmonics.
A lowpass filter can reduce harmonics. The second harmonic is at a frequency that is close to the fundamental frequency so it is very difficult to reduce without also reducing the fundamental frequency. Therefore a square-wave or triangle-wave are the easiest to filter into a sine-wave.
i show your circuit modified to produce a triangle-wave and square-wave. The triangle-wave is filtered with a 2nd-order Butterworth lowpass filter circuit. The output sine-wave still has some harmonics, a 4th-order Butterworth filter circuit or switched-capacitor Butterworth lowpass filter IC will reduce the harmonics much more.
