hey guys how r u all doing? I have a project which asking for building a function generator that has to run for 4 different frequencies....I don't know to to start that....if u guys can give me some steps to begin with I would be really thankful......

You'll need to provide a bit more input. 4 frequencies at once? What kind of waveforms, and signal amplitude?

Once again - do the frequencies have to come out all at the same time?

What are the three waveforms? Possibly square, triangle and sine?

Any other requirements? Is this a class assignment?

Hello,
You can do it easy, look at the chip XR2206. This is a complete function generator chip.

You can do it cheap. Use one CMOS hex inverter as CD4069 and around this you can design a sinewave generator and then square the sinwave and then integrate the squarewave to a triangular wave. All with the same chip.

You can do it complex, use a PIC-processor and generate the waveforms through a DAC.

Best regards
Gustav
