Hi
For my Electronics syllabus, these op amp ramp generators often come up, and I'm still not sure exactly how it works. I know what it does, but unsure how.
It's got the equation:
ΔVout/Δt = -V[SUB]in[/SUB]/RC
But I'm still not sure what causes it to ramp up and down, If I were to guess, its something to do with the output charging up the capacitor and therefore slowly increasing the input. Is that along the right lines?
