Circuit that converts a triangular wave potential waveform

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing a circuit to convert a triangular wave potential waveform into a square wave potential waveform with a period (T) of 10ms and a maximum voltage (Umax) of +4V. The circuit utilizes a capacitor of 4 microfarads and one of three available resistances: 1kΩ, 250Ω, or 500Ω. The formula used for calculating the output voltage is V_exit = (4RCV_max) / T. The user successfully determined the appropriate resistance needed for the circuit.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of waveform conversion techniques
  • Knowledge of RC circuit theory
  • Familiarity with basic electronic components (capacitors and resistors)
  • Ability to apply formulas for voltage and time in circuits
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of waveform shaping using RC circuits
  • Learn about the characteristics and applications of triangular and square waveforms
  • Explore the use of operational amplifiers in waveform conversion
  • Study the impact of resistance and capacitance values on circuit performance
USEFUL FOR

Electronics engineers, circuit designers, and students studying waveform conversion techniques will benefit from this discussion.

I have to propose a circuit that converts a triangular wave potential waveform to a square wave potential waveform, that has a T=10ms and Umax= +4V (the triangular curve has the same T and Umax)
We have a capacitor of 4micro Farad and 3 resistance (1kΩ ; 250Ω ; 500Ω) andyou should use only one resistance.

So, I know it's this one: (attached)
But I have to find what resistance to use.

[tex]\ V_{exit}= \frac {4RCV_{max}}{T}[/tex]
I need that [tex]\ V_{exit}[/tex] (that I don't have) to solve for the R !
Any help please ?!
