There are plenty of designs out there for sawtooth and triangle function generators, many of them using the humble 555 IC. Few are readily voltage controlled, making them difficult to work with using ...
This voltage-booster circuit for driving one or more white LEDs uses a 555 timer as its main element (see the figure). The timer, IC1, functions as a resettable astable multivibrator where R1, R2, and ...
The control circuit in Figure 1a allows you to manually adjust the power delivered to a load. By changing the setting of potentiometer R 3, you change the phase angle at which the thyristor (Q 3) ...
