Title: Alternative to the 555
Post by: Farlander on August 31, 2008, 01:44:54 PM
I've built a pwm using this design.  It generates a variable sawtooth wave when you replace R4 with a potentiometer.

The question now is, can I pass this signal into another set of pins on the LM324 quad-op-amp IC and modulate the duty cycle?

I think this board has potential, it uses fewer components and no decade switching.  A 500k potentiometer should be able to increase frequency even higher.  Check out 'My Experiments' at the bottom of this pagehttp://students.umw.edu/~jsera9mu/wfc%20site/ (http://students.umw.edu/~jsera9mu/wfc%20site/)

I'm not sure what the min max frequency are but will know soon as I get a better scope.

I got the idea from a video posted by Hydroman here on this forum, I will link when I find it
Thanks
