Terry,
This might be what you want - assuming constant slew rate = constant
slope for a triangle waveform. Start with the simple two op amp
(Schmitt trigger + integrator) triangle generator. Replace the resistor
that connects the integrator output to the Schmitt (+) input with a
variable resistor (pot) - this becomes the DEPTH control. The variable
resistor (pot) that connects the Schmitt output to the integrator op amp
(-) input gets labelled as SLOPE (was RATE in the original constant
amplitude triangle configuration). This should give (untested...) a
constant slew rate variable amplitude triangle - as the amplitude
increases, the frequency decreases. The triangle is centered about zero
volts. OTA's could be used to make this voltage-controlled. A version
that has the bottom of the triangle fixed at zero volts could be useful
too.
