Function generators (FGs) are measurement instruments in the category of waveform sources. They grew out of both a need for a versatile source of multiple waveshapes and from some interesting analog ...

In the first two parts of this article, the first two generations of triangle-wave generator loops were presented – the foundational concepts at the heart of function generator (FG) technology. This ...

Commercial curve tracers have existed for decades. But designers without access to one can create a simple circuit that uses a function generator and oscilloscope to generate JFET transfer and ...

No one is sitting around their workbench trying to come up with the next great oscilloscope or multimeter, but function generators still remain one of the pieces of test equipment anyone – even ...

What do you do when you’ve got three broken function generators? Build your own, obviously. Since your workshop has already gone through three of these bad boys, you might find yourself repairing your ...

A personal computer (PC) sound card can be the basis for a readily available signal generator for testing electronic circuits. The usefulness of these signal generators is limited, however, because ...
