It is worth mentioning here that since the sawtooth output is taken from the capacitor, then any load resistance connected across the capacitor would take its current from the charging current of the capacitor.

How does a sawtooth capacitor work?
The resulting current through the external resistor R develops a voltage spike and the capacitor voltage drops to the value V v. The device then cuts off and the capacitor commences charging again. The cycle is repeated continually generating a sawtooth waveform across capacitor C.
How does a sawtooth waveform work in a capacitor charging circuit?
The cycle is repeated continually generating a sawtooth waveform across capacitor C. The resulting waveforms of capacitor voltage v C is shown in Fig. 30.132. The frequency of the output sawtooth wave can he varied by varying the value of resistor R E as it controls the time constant (T = R E C) of the capacitor charging circuit.
How does a sawtooth voltage generator work?
Time period of the sawtooth wave, and frequency of oscillation Figure 30.133 shows another circuit for a sawtooth voltage generator. This sawtooth voltage generator circuit uses a four-layer diode as a switch. As soon as the capacitor voltage attains a specified value (10 V in this case), the diode breaks over and the latch closes.
How does a capacitor charge and discharge?
In the previous RC Charging and Discharging tutorials, we saw how a capacitor has the ability to both charge and discharges itself through a series connected resistor. The time taken for this capacitor to either fully charge or fully discharge is equal to five RC time constants or 5T when a constant DC voltage is either applied or removed.
How do you change the frequency of a sawtooth wave?
The frequency of the output sawtooth wave can he varied by varying the value of resistor R E as it controls the time constant (T = R E C) of the capacitor charging circuit. The discharge time t 2 is difficult to calculate because the UJT is in its negative resistance region and its resistance is continually changing.
How do you calculate the frequency of a sawtooth wave generator?
The frequency of the output voltage can be given by the equation, f = (Vcc-2.7)/ (R*C*Vpp). Where Vcc is the supply voltage and Vpp is the peak voltage of the output required. A sawtooth wave generator circuit using a 555 IC is given in the article below.Frequency equation is given with the supply voltage Vcc.
