Function Generator Circuit Diagram
A function generator is usually a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to generate different types of electrical waveforms over a wide range of frequencies.
Function generator circuit diagram. The function generator circuit we will build with an lm324 op amp chip is shown below. As explained above the lm324 is powered by dc voltage through pins 4 and 11. These waveforms can be either repetitive or single shot which requires an internal. The simple function generator two waveform it produces triangle and square waves from 1hz up to 1mhz.
That circuit is based on a lm1458 or rc4558 capable of producing sine square triangular sawtooth and pulse waveforms of high accuracy and stability. Function generator using op amp lm1458. Simple function generator by lm566. In this instrument the frequency is controlled by varying the magnitude of the current that drives the integrator.
Function generator circuit diagram parts list. The components required for this circuit are lm324 op amp chip two 10kω resistors four 100kω resistors 22kω resistor 220kω resistor 1μf ceramic capacitor 33 nf ceramic. The breadboard circuit of the above circuit is shown below. As you can see we have an arduino nano which acts as the brain of our project and an 16x2 lcd to display the value of frequency that is currently being generated.
The circuit needs a dual power supply. Some of the most common waveforms produced by the function generator are the sine wave square wave triangular wave and sawtooth shapes. An adjustable frequency range is provided by the function generator which is in the range of some hz to several 100khz. Function generator circuit diagram with lm324 op amp the lm324 is a 14 pin integrated circuit the circuit diagram of the function generator with lm324 is shown below.
A 15 15 power supply as shown in the circuit is enough for the purpose. Frequency generator section to generate a stable frequency we have used icl8038 waveform generator is a monolithic integrated circuit capable of producing high accuracy sine square triangular waveform. So above is the function generator chip we will build. The complete circuit diagram this arduino function generator is shown below.
The block diagram of a function generator is given in the figure. Function generator is a signal generator that produces different types of waveforms at the output. We know that there are a lot of do it yourself designs out there but the most popular and inexpensive chinese kit in the market is the one based on the nifty function. This instrument provides different types of waveforms such as sinusoidal triangular and square waves as its output signal with a frequency range of 0 01 hz to.
So the first concern is power to the circuit. The frequency of the output wave form can be adjusted using r7 it must be a 100k log pot. A function generator is an indispensable of electronics lab equipment but unfortunately such a costly device is not within the easy reach of an average electronics hobbyist. We also have a rotary encoder which will help us to set the frequency.
