Ramp Generator – Triangle Wave Generator
Two questions on Ramp Generators – I need a circuit design for a ramp generator. The ramp generator circuit that I’m looking for is a 1khz ramp generator capable of + to -50 v at 50m using a microprocessor with digital to analogue converter and output reconstruction filter followed by a high voltage operational amplifier.
The generator is going to be used for RFA (retarding field analysers) on plasmas.

I need a circuit design for a ramp generator. The ramp generator circuit that I’m looking for has put out a linear time varying positive voltage from 0 to +10 volts and needs a ramp time of 45 minutes. So from 0-10 volts in a 45 minute time frame. Maybe also a reset switch to reset the timer again. Can this be done? Please advise. Thank You

Can you tell me in what application or how you plan to use it. Then i can probably help you better or make a circuit for you. there are many ways to do it. one is a constant current source charging a capacitor. or a staircase generator with a D-A and counter. send me more details.
4QD-TEC: Waveform generator circuits
This circuit was used as a ramp generator for a transistor curve tracer: the positive going ramp was used for testing NPN transistors and the negative ramp for testing PNP transistors.
The first circuit produces a clean 2.5v reference voltage. The second is configured as a classic multivibrator oscillator, whose frequency can be changed using a variable resistor.
Precision Triangular-Wave Generator Uses a Single IC
“This application note outlines the implementation of a single-supply, triangular wave oscillator using the MAX9000 and some passive components. The application circuit uses an op amp, comparator, and a voltage reference as active building blocks. The MAX9000 is chosen because it integrates these three components. ”
