Simple Triangle wave Square wave Generator Circuit


In tnis post we learn a simple circuit idea which may be used for producing important waveforms such as triangle waveform and square waveform.

Triangular wave forms and square waves are the most sought after wave forms for the electronic hobbyist. Triangular wave forms are needed to develop PWM circuits.


Both triangular and square wave forms are the tools for any electronic calibration. Here in this circuit by using a simple dual op-Amp, it is possible to get both the triangle and the square wave from the same circuit.


The amplifier at the left generates the triangular wave form. The frequency of the triangular wave shall depend on the value of the capacitance and value of R.


The time interval of one half-cycle is equal to R*C and it can source around 10mA of current at its output.


The output of the first op-Amp is being gated at the non- inverting input of the second op-Amp which has a symmetry adjustment pot connected at its inverting input. The output of the second op-Amp is a square wave.

The amplitude of the triangular wave form can be changed if we change the value of 47K resistor. You shall find the offset at the square wave output and this can be removed by putting a capacitor in series with pin 7.

Power Amplifier with voltage regulator 4 × 50 Watt TDA8588

Power Amplifier with voltage regulator 4 × 50 Watt TDA8588    The TDA8588 is a multiple voltage regulator combined with four independent audio power amplifiers configured in bridge tied load with diagnostic capability. The output voltages of all regulators except regulators 2 and 3 can be controlled via the I2C-bus. However, regulator 3 can be set to 0 V via the I2C-bus. The output voltage of regulator 2 (microcontroller supply) and the maximum output voltage of regulator 3 (mechanical digital and microcontroller supplies) can both be either 5 V or 3.3 V depending on the type number. The maximum output voltages of both regulators are fixed to avoid any risk of damaging the microcontroller that may occur during a disturbance of the I 2C-bus. The amplifier diagnostic functions give information about output offset, load, or short-circuit. Diagnostic functions are controlled via the I2C-bus. The TDA8588 is protected against short-circuit, over-temperature, open ground and open VP connectio

PIC16F887 877 programming in C Tutorial 5 LCD Interfacing

LCD Interfacing: In this tutorial i will show you how to interface 16x2 LCD with micro-controller. 16x2 means there are two rows and each row contain maximum 16 characters.  For more detail refer to the LCD datasheet, which you are using. Basic Connection: Applies 5v to pin 2 and gnd to pins 1 & 5. Use variable resistor at pin 3 to set contrast. Pins 7 to 14 are the data pins,, used to send/rec data. Pin 6 is of enable; every time when you write to lcd you should have to give high to low, to this pin. pin 4 is register select pin use to give commands like clear, home etc.   In this tutorial i will interface lcd in 4-bit instead of 8-bit, so we only required four data pins. Code: Lets write a code that will display the motor status and its direction; it will be fun!!!! Requirements: Design a motor controller circuit using l298 and display its status on lcd. LCD is connected to portb and motor controller circuit is at portd. Required two switches to change motor direction; if both ar
