A basic change to the astable circuit allows the 555 timer to be used as a triangle waveform generator. What is the function of the “RC circuit” part? Briefly explain why we can obtain triangle waveform in the circuit. Hint: “integrator”.

(a) Design a inverting Schmitt trigger circuit
to be used as a zero crossing detector with transition voltages
about ±25 mV. Assume the saturation voltages for the op–amp are ±13
V. Draw the voltage transfer characteristic (VTC), i.e., vout vs.
vin.
(b) Design an astable multivibrator to produce
a square signal with a frequency of 1 kHz using C=0.01 µF, R1 = 30
kΩ, and R2 = 20 kΩ. Sketch the circuit waveforms (vo, v +, and v −)
assuming...
Question 8 (6 marks) You have been given a 555 Timer, an LED with Von-2V, a 9V battery that can comfortably supply 5mA of current without loss of voltage, a 1uF capacitor and access to any resistor values you want. Design a circuit that causes the LED to flash periodically once per second with a duty cycle of 75% Ensure that it does not draw more than 5mA of current from the battery (i.e 3mA of charging current and 2mA...
ans,
RA = 721.5 kohms, RB = 360.8 kohms, R3 = 3.5kohms as an example
solution.
