sawtooth generator - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I was wondering if there was anyone who knew how to make a very high frequency sawtooth generator, or possibly very clean high frequecny pulses to discharge a cap for sawtooth generation. everything i have tried is unaccecptable at the frequencies i am interested in.

Um, how are we going to help you if you are having trouble at "the frequencies i am interested in" if you don't tell us what those frequencies are?

That's still not very specific. What's so hard about naming your frequency range? 1-10 MHz? 100-500 MHz? It makes a difference.

Here's a Maxim MAX038 waveform generator circuit for up to 20 MHz.

This circuit probably goes beyond 50 MHz

The best thing to do probably is call some of the IC vendors and talk to an applications engineer. They'll know right away if they have a solution, and the advice is free.
