hi friends
i am looking for 100Khz Sawtooth Generator criuit for my college Lab project ....

niose Generator also works :arrow:
 
An ICL8038 function generator IC may do.

Try this link:

Have you ever heared of Google?
Do you do anything for yourself?

I gave you a reference for the 8038 in my original post.

Try this for the XR2206.

100kHz is toward the high end of the ICL8038's capability, but it's also obsolete. You may still be able to find some.

I think the OP needs to put a little more effort into his own research, though.

Haven't we been through this exercise before?
Do you need A, B, or C? How many volts peak-to-peak?

hi

A will be great..........

should be 100Mhz or more but DV offset the output should be 17V - 20V
 
The XR2206 circuit looks to be fairly easy to build and will probably make a nice piece of bench equipment. I ordered a couple of those chips and intend to build one pretty soon. Thanks for the info.

I think if you generate a square wave at 100Khz and then feed it to an op amp integrater you will have the wave form that you need.
 
Run a astable 555 timer at 100kHz (it is very near its limit) and you will get the sawtooth waveform of the timing capacitor. You can use a opamp buffer/amplifier to prevent loading of this signal.

If you have to make your own, the basic building blocks are: Constant current source, flip-flop, 2 comparators, a capacitor, and resistor.

Charge the cap from the current source, detect the upper voltage trip with the comparator, flip the flip-flop and discharge the cap through a resistor while detecting the lower voltage trip. Flip the flip-flop and start the charge cycle again..

You have now effectively made your own 555!

At 100kHz you will need a fairly fast comparator like the LM311

Probably the biggest difference between the 555 and the 8038 is that the 8038's capacitor is charged by a current source, while the 555's is not. So the 555 will not put out a real sawtooth, but may be close enough.

If a "true" sawtooth is not that important, a simple uni-junction oscillator may also do.

I would say only A is a sawtooth. B and C are ramps. But I wouldn't be contentious about it.

Well, John, then I guess I have to get contentious. :D
According to this site, waveform A is a triangle wave, and the other two are sawtooths (sawteeth?). I gotta say they all look like triangles to me - maybe A shoulda been called an isosceles triangle wave. I can see why the other two are called sawtooth waves.
