Op-Amp Triangular Wave Generator

The document describes how to generate a triangular waveform using an op-amp circuit. A square wave is passed through an integrator circuit consisting of resistors and a capacitor to convert it into a triangular wave. The circuit design and simulation results generating both square and triangular waves are shown.

Theory:
Triangular waves are periodic, non-sinusoidal waveform with a triangular shape. A triangular
wave is that it has equal rise and fall times while a sawtooth wave has unequal rise and fall times.
To generate a triangular waveform, a square wave is passed through an integrator.

Hence the main part of the circuit consist of:
1. A square wave generator
2. An integrator which converts the square wave to a triangular waveform.

Schematic Diagram:

Design:
First op-amp acts as a comparator and the second op-amp acts as an integrator.
f =R1/4R2R3C
