The traditional analog function generator with its customary triple-threat ensemble of square, triangle, and sine waveform outputs is a familiar tool on electronics lab benches. It’s also a classical ...

It’s easy to have a soft spot for “mini” yet perfectly functional versions of electronic workbench tools, like [David Johnson-Davies]’s Tiny Function Generator which uses an ATtiny85 to generate ...

It’s probably not much of a stretch to say that many of us have taken on a project or two that were little more than thinly veiled excuses to add a new tool or piece of gear to our arsenal. There’s ...

Anyone searching for a function generator may be interested in a new DIY Arduino project which details how you can make your very own. “A function generator is a very useful tool, especially when we ...

Unlike digital RF generators that produce only sine waves, function generators can produce repetitive waveforms of different shapes such as sine, square, triangular, sawtooth, and pulse. Function ...

A former coworker friend sent me a Tektronix 3-slot mainframe and several plug-in modules (Fig. 1). The TM500-series mainframes are 1970s vintage, but like a lot of old test equipment, can still work ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 7. This simple, robust, and low-cost signal generator, based on the LM386 power amplifier IC, provides a trio of audio-band signals ...

Looking to output different types of signals to design, test and troubleshoot your electronics? Try out the function generator at Sears think[box]. Bring your electronics to Floor 3 of Sears think[box ...
