2. Pulse Generator
The charge and discharge circuits in the circuit from figure 1 are separated by diodes in this circuit. (See
figure 3.) This allows the pulse width and the duty cycle to be set independently. Figure 4 shows the
waveforms generated by this circuit.

3. Voltage Controlled Oscillator
In the circuit in figure 5, comparator A
1
operates as an integrator, A
2
operates as a comparator with
hysteresis, and A
3
operates as the switch that controls the oscillator frequency. If the output Vout1 is at
the low level, the A
3
output will go to the low level and the A1 inverting input will become a lower
level than the A1 noninverting input. The A1 output will integrate this state and its output will increase
towards the high level. When the output of the integrator A
1
exceeds the level on the comparator A
2
inverting input, A
2
inverts to the high level and both the output Vout1 and the A
3
output go to the high
level. This causes the integrator to integrate a negative state, resulting in its output decreasing towards
the low level. Then, when the A
1
output level becomes lower than the level on the A
2
noninverting
input, the output Vout1 is once again inverted to the low level. This operation generates a square wave
on Vout1 and a triangular wave on Vout2.
