Google Triangle Wave Generator almost all that you get are circuits that employ 2 comparator/opamp ect...
Well I wanted an alternative, more efficient way of doing this! So I designed this circuit in LTSpice. It simulates well, giving a very nice, highly linear waveform. uses very little power! The only problem is that I dont have a lab (I only have a breadboard and a DMM). I'm asking for help on test this out. Any comment or suggestion is much appreciated.
Use 2N2369 or faster transistors for Q5/Q6/Q7 for higher frequency (timing cap value less then 1nF as crutschow (a member in another forum) suggested.)
PS: This is not the first forum that I have posted this in, but since no one seems to be interested in testing this out, I'm asking for help here, hopefully someone will find this interesting and useful enough to bother with it.
Thanks in advance.
