In this post I have explained how to build 7 types of easy sawtooth generator circuits, using BJTs, UJTs, and IC 555. In a sawtooth waveform the voltage increases slowly in a slanting manner or diagonally, then as soon as it reaches the peak, the waveform voltage suddenly drops to zero. Once it drops to […]

3-Phase Signal Generator Circuit using Opamp
Many a times we find it crucial and handy to possess a true three phase signal for evaluating many different electronic configurations such three phase inverters, three phase motors, converters etc. Since it’s not so easy to incorporate single phase to three phase conversion quickly we find this particular implementation difficult to acquire and enforce. […]
