Hello again.
Please see the attached diagram which shows a square wave and triangle wave generator formed from a schmitt trigger and integrator circuit.
The bottom question asks to evaluate the period of the square wave. I know that this is probably the same period as the triangle wave, and that this is probably found by:
f = 1 / (2pi.R.C)
but my question is, if the oscillation of the schmitt trigger is started by noise, how does this end up being a periodic wave at all?
Tried looking this up before I asked, couldn't find anything concrete.
Cheers, Fraser.
