This is a triangle wave generator. A sawtooth or ramp has a steep rise and a linear fall or vice versa.

@thebugger, please help us to understand your definition of triangle. When do we are allowed to talk about a sawtooth waveform? http://everycircuit.com/circuit/5511533951451136

I think that the triangle wave is when both the rise time and fall time are the same and sawtooth when one of the sides is shorter than the orher

Am i right hurz? :P

Right! However, do you have a criteria when one side is 'shorter' than the other?

Hey hurz here's your criteria :-) http://everycircuit.com/circuit/4917082853998592

No, hurz is right but not completely. As waveforms they are different, and they have different applications, but as mathematical functions they're similar. A triangle wave is basically one half of a sawtooth and a mirrored half of a sawtooth. Theoretically a sawtooth will have a zero fall time. This means we can neglect it. If the mirrored half starts immediately it'll create a triangle wave. Basically a triangle wave is the abaolute value of a sawtooth wave. But as I said as waveform they differ, so do their characteristics, that's why they're always referred with different names
