About this manual

The document presents a circuit design for a precision ramp generator where the repetition rate is controlled by a DC input voltage. The circuit utilizes an OP-215 dual operational amplifier to generate a negative ramp with a slope proportional to the input voltage, achieving high amplitude stability over a wide range of operating conditions.

Exact component values are provided for a specific operating range of 10Hz to 1kHz. The text details the circuit operation, including the reset mechanism and the generation of a 5us pulse from amplifier A2, ensuring a ramp amplitude of zero to -10V is accurate and stable.
