What is the use of triangular wave generator?

The applications of triangular wave include sampling circuits, thyristor firing circuits, frequency generator circuits, tone generator circuits etc.

What is a triangle wave generator?

A triangular wave generator is an electronic circuit, which generates a triangular wave. The block diagram of a triangular wave generator is shown in the following figure − The block diagram of a triangular wave generator contains mainly two blocks: a square wave generator and an integrator.

What does a wave in a triangle mean?

A triangular wave or triangle wave is a non-sinusoidal waveform named for its triangular shape. It is a periodic, piecewise linear, continuous real function. Like a square wave, the triangle wave contains only odd harmonics.
