Function Generators

This is my function generator with frequency counter










The frequency counter is used a preprogrammed pic16f84a and schematic i found from searching the internet. Th frequency counter goes up 50Mhz. The function generator use a max038 ic. I use 4 capacitor for four frequency ranges. i one op amp the vary voltage instead of current to adjust the frequency. Two more op-amps to do the same four the duty cycle adjust. The output amp has 2.5 voltage gain and use potentometer to adjust the gain of the op-amp which in turn adjust the p-p voltage output. The output has 50 or 75 ohms for impedance matching. For example of this design look up max038 data sheet and other schematic on the internet



There pictures are to output waveforms for this function generator

Sine Wave
