    Hi.. i have miss understood why Vg = V3 but im at 10:30 so i may get a clearer view by the end.. thanks for all the videos.

    I always enjoy your videos. You know the material well, and present it in an easy to understand and clear way. I do however not have any idea about what your next video will be about at all. And the jump is big. Can I ask you give an outline of a series, for example op amp filters, and then number the videos in the series. Run many series in parallel of course. This way I can search and find a set of videos on a topic I am interested in, and also know what the complete plan is for a series of videos. Thanks for your effort.

      Thank you for watching and for your comment. Your feedback is very helpful. Glad also to hear that you enjoy my videos 👍. To better understand the best way to realize what you suggested, please let me know if you go to my Circuit Playlist (link below to 150+ circuit videos) does UA-cam let you search for example for "Filter" in that playlist? And if that search is allowed then do you see the relevant Filter Circuits ?
      Is it helpful with regard to what you are looking for (I mean getting to a specific set of topic that you like) ? Is that what you are looking for?
      And regarding the upcoming video, does it help if I post a poll question asking what audience like to see as the next video?

    Great video. A small objection: not using a current limiting resistor at the output of opamp 3 will lead to high currents through the diode as the amp wants to drive its output to the rail voltage. Should the opamp contain no overcurrent protection, won't this lead to premature failure of the diode and opamp?

    • @STEMprof
      @STEMprof  Місяць тому

      Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Glad that you liked this Sawtooth Signal Generator video. You have a good practical point. Having a typical 100 Ohm current limiting resistor at the output of operational amplifier is generally a safe and recommended practice. Otherwise Op Amp selection should be carefully done so that there is an internal max current protection included in the design of output stage of the op amp.

    Man, I want to try this. I built a saw tooth Gen using transistors, but the output is too low, when trying to amplify I end up with a Square wave or nothing, (impedance). The sawtooth and the amplification of this sawtooth is my Nemesis. I have been sweating bullets for a while now. My Oscilloscope demands this!

    Discharge time was calculated as 4ns, how did you get 4*tau as discharge time again. Please, I also don't understand the role of r2 and c2 as a filter the circuit.

    • @STEMprof
      @STEMprof  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for watching and your follow-up question. In simple RC circuit, Voltage of capacitor charged or discharged via resistor is governed by an exponential relationship in the general form of Vc(t) = Vc(final) +(Vc(0) - Vc(final))*exp(-t/(RC)) where RC is time constant (Tau) and we can roughly assume that capacitor voltage reaches the steady state in ~ 4*RC (if the state of circuit does not change).

      Thanks for watching and your follow-up question. As explained at 19:40 and shown on the time-domain plot, the N-Channel JFET turns on at that moment and practically short V2 to zero. I hope this clarification is helpful. 🙏

    • @STEMprof
      @STEMprof  Рік тому

      Thanks for watching and asking question. Sure, watch the video at 4:40 and you see that the value of resistors shows up in the denominator of the BJT transistor's base current formula. So the lower resistor, the lower the denominator and hence the higher the base current. I hope this explanation is helpful.

      Select a JFET with Ron on the order of 20 to 40 ohm, and with peak Ids current of > 250mA. Select NPN BJT with hfe or beta of >50 and peak current of 2A. Select OpAmp as a Zero offset or very low offset FET Op Amp. See more examples in the ua-cam.com/play/PLrwXF7N522y4ee_0GL2EdguM-kLtJPxpU.html Oscillators videos playlist.
