We can use the 555 timer to hold the cost down of adding a triggered sweep to an economy oscilloscope. The timer is triggered by the circuit’s input op amp, adjusting its flip-flop and cutting off its discharge transistor so that capacitor C can charge. The flip-flop resets and the transistor conducts when capacitor voltage …

Generating sawtooth wave signal can be implemented using several ways, and one of the very popular method is by using constant current source to charge a capacitor. If you’ve seen many method that use an SCR or its bipolar transistor equivalent circuit to discharge the capacitor, here you can see an alternative method using 555 …

Sawtooth signal is used in many application, such as in PMW modulator or oscilloscope sweep circuitry.
This sawtooth wave generator gives not only the sweep signal at out 1, but also a synchronization output at out 2 when the sawtooth fly back and begin sweeping. The frequency formula of this sawtooth wave signal is:
f=R3/(2CR4(R1+R2))
Remember that the …
