Op-Amp Sawtooth Generator
Op-Amp Sawtooth Generator is unavoidable part of PWM modulators and so part of analog control circuits. Now it can be simulated: Also read the theory of operation:
 
What Is the Analogue of Resistance In the Circuit Below?
Apparently heat flow is current . . . THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper finds climate sensitivity is independent of the forcing. What are the implications?
 
Telephone Spammers
