Unijunction transistors (UJTs) were common circuit elements several decades ago. A simple ramp generator could be built from a single UJT and a few other components (Fig. 1). 1. In a simple UJT-based ...

It’s not always easy to design a ramp generator whose ramping frequency can be changed without manipulation of capacitors or inductors. Many ramp circuit designs are available, but they may not be ...

The objective of the circuit is to build an electronic dice based on the functions of a 555 timer integrated circuit that operates in the astable mode. LM555 – a highly stable device for generating ...

Function generators (FGs) are measurement instruments in the category of waveform sources. They grew out of both a need for a versatile source of multiple waveshapes and from some interesting analog ...
