Triangle wave generator with a counter

If you have a 4 bit counter you can do this triangle wave generator.

Cool.

Nah, something's wrong here. The first think i notice is that there isn't any frequency determining components (like capacitors). So decrease the time frame and watch it work at any frequency. In reality i don't know what the result will be.

I think clock abuse is good in this case, it shows the triangle as fast as EC can make it.

Wonderful Niki ! You made an automatic frequency delta generator XD !

But in reality, nothing will determine the frequency, so i don't know what the end result will be. Either nothing will happen, or the DAC will be pushed to the very maximum and the output will not be a triangle wave but something totally distorted. Either way nothing useful will happen. It needs a frequency determining component.

If you replaced your clock generator with a 555 then that would make it 'real world' and satisfy thebugger

And great job on the layout, all the links are visible :)

@thebugger i think you are obsessed with that oscillator to the point it is becoming a problem.

I can see only 4 comments... in place of 8... Am I alone with this bug ???

There should be a blue button saying More next to the latest comments header. If that doesn't help, you really have a bug

Hey guys i made some changes to the circuit. I have to say i used a nikisalli-counter-oscillator to have the fastest result i could get but in real life you should use a variable frequency oscillator to make a variable frequency triangle wave ;-)

That's better, now it has a finite and more importantly a defined frequency.
