The traditional analog function generator with its customary triple-threat ensemble of square, triangle, and sine waveform outputs is a familiar tool on electronics lab benches. It’s also a classical ...

Bring your electronics to Floor 3 of Sears think[box]. Once here, tell a member of our think[box] staff what you need for your project and we will help you set up the function generator. A range of ...

A former coworker friend sent me a Tektronix 3-slot mainframe and several plug-in modules (Fig. 1). The TM500-series mainframes are 1970s vintage, but like a lot of old test equipment, can still work ...

Anyone searching for a function generator may be interested in a new DIY Arduino project which details how you can make your very own. “A function generator is a very useful tool, especially when we ...

Unlike digital RF generators that produce only sine waves, function generators can produce repetitive waveforms of different shapes such as sine, square, triangular, sawtooth, and pulse. Function ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 7. This simple, robust, and low-cost signal generator, based on the LM386 power amplifier IC, provides a trio of audio-band signals ...

If you have a modern function generator on your bench it is quite likely to contain a direct-digital synthesis circuit that creates arbitrary waveforms using a microprocessor controlled DAC. If you ...

It’s probably not much of a stretch to say that many of us have taken on a project or two that were little more than thinly veiled excuses to add a new tool or piece of gear to our arsenal. There’s ...
