DUTY_CYCLE_MODULATOR

Published:2009/7/6 22:56:00 Author:May

Uses half of LM339N or LM3302N quad comparator. With no modulation signal, output is symmetrical square wave generated by one of comparators. Constant-amplitude triangle wave is generated at inverting input of second comparator, and is relatively independent of supply voltage and frequency changes. Modulating signal varies switching points to produce duty-cycle modulated wave for such applications as class D amplification for servo and audio systems.-H. F. Stearns, Voltage Comparator Makes a Duty-Cycle Modulator, EDN Magazine, June 5, 1975, p76-77.   (View)

TRIANGLE_WAVE_CLIPPER

Published:2009/7/6 22:51:00 Author:May

Expression approximating sine function from 0 to 900is generated by function fitting and duplicated by using AD534L analog multiplier and appropriate close.tolerance (0.1%) resistors. Accuracy of sine wave is within ±0.5% at all points. Linearly increasing voltage of triangle develops rising sinusoidal output. Conversely, linearly decreasing input generates mirror of rising sinusoids. Increasing triangle waveform, then bringing it back to zero again, completes full cycle of sine-wave out-put.-R.
