7 Easy Sawtooth Waveform Generator Circuits using UJT, IC 555, and Transistors
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 […]

Unijunction Transistor (UJT) – Comprehensive Tutorial
A unijunction transistor is a 3 terminal semiconductor device which is unlike a BJT has only a single pn junction. It is basically designed to be used as a single-stage oscillator circuit for generating pulsed signals suitable for digital-circuit applications. UJT Relaxation Oscillator Circuit The unijunction transistor could be typically wired in the form of […]
