If you have a modern function generator on your bench it is quite likely to contain a direct-digital synthesis circuit that creates arbitrary waveforms using a microprocessor controlled DAC. If you… ...

A dead Tek FG503 function generator plug-in inspires a teardown. The culprit? A bad op amp in the power supply.

If you have a modern function generator on your bench it is quite likely to contain a direct-digital synthesis circuit that creates arbitrary waveforms using a microprocessor controlled DAC. If ...

The XR2206 function generator DIY kit is really a cheap and easy to build one that can be handy for most beginners and electronics enthusiasts. In my lab, it performed quite well making near-perfect ...

By using a function generator’s triggered burst function, you can create pulses with pulse widths that are relatively short (or relatively long) with respect to their periods.

Your circuit prototype finally is complete, and now you need a signal source to test it. The function generator is a good choice. It can provide sine, square, and triangular waveforms from ...
