I hope you can help me. I have a project with operational amplifiers. In this project I need to create a mirror signal (symmetrical signal) from this output:

output signal

To something like this:

symmetrical signal

The two requirements are:

  • Only use operational amplifiers, resistances and capacitors
  • The circuit must have two inputs, a square signal and a triangular signal

I've tried with many settings, but I have not succeeded.

I created this circuit with the original output, but I don't know how can I get the mirror of a symmetrical signal:

circuit created

If someone can help me I will appreciate it.

    \$\begingroup\$ The simplest way is the standard inverting amplifier with G=-1… just use equal feedback resistors. By the way 20nF on the feedback of your first amp are a lot, do you need some heavy filtering? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ For first signal, just add the 2 generators ... For the second, just substract. Amplitude of square bigger than triangle. Use a more clear schematic. It help. :) Some resistance are "too lower". Use 10k, for example. Under 15 V there is a current of 1.5 mA max. If using 500 Ohm, it can be ...30 mA ! On board, add always decoupling capacitors nearest opamp. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @DavideAndrea - Hi, Please look at the comments below the question. This is the OP's self-answer, no matter whether it's right or wrong. If the OP thinks it is the answer to their question, then it is an answer. (As usual, people can vote and/or comment about its correctness.) Also answers (including self-answers) should not be added into question, so it's the wrong advice to ask an OP to add their solution into the question. This is why self-answers exist, so that OPs can write their solution as an answer. || If you have questions on this etiquette, please ask on our Electrical Engineering Meta. Thanks. \$\endgroup\$
