Triangular Wave generation from the square wave using RC circuit

RC INTEGRATORS The RC INTEGRATOR is used as a waveshaping network in communications, radar, and computers. The harmonic content of the square wave is made up of odd multiples of the fundamental frequency. Therefore SIGNIFICANT HARMONICS (those that have an effect on the circuit) as high as 50 or 60 times the fundamental frequency will be present in the wave. The capacitor will offer a reactance (XC) of a different magnitude to each of the harmonics.

This means that the voltage drop across the capacitor for each harmonic frequency present will not be the same. To low frequencies, the capacitor will offer a large opposition, providing a large voltage drop across the capacitor. To high frequencies, the reactance of the capacitor will be extremely small, causing a small voltage drop across the capacitor

Working Principal PWM

Circuit I found is actually a concoction of 2 separatedesigns that cunningly come together to form a 0 - 100% PWMgenerator. The first stage uses a single 555 timer to generate aconstant saw tooth waveform.

The TB6588FG is a three-phase full-wave PWM driver for sensor less brushless DC (BLDC) motors. It controls rotation speed by changing the PWM duty cycle, based on the voltage of an analog control input.
