  • Patent number: 4017801
    Abstract: A low frequency triangular waveform generator mixes two high frequency squarewaves having a constant frequency difference to produce a triangular waveform with a fundamental frequency equal to the difference in the fundamental frequencies of the mixed squarewaves. This generator can be adapted to produce squarewaves, sine waves, sawtooth waves, and asymmetrical triangular waves without the use of digital accumulators or ROMs.
