IV. C ONCLUSION
The verliog code for generation of sawtooth wave was
simulated. The clock signal of 100Mhz frequency is given
as an input and a sawtooth wave of 200kHz and 100 kHZ
frequency is obtained. Hence, the generation of sawtooth wave
was implemented successfully.

C. Analysis
1) For 200KHz: Given frequency of clock is 100 Mhz
Hence the time period of the clock is 10ns. The sawtooth
wave could be generated with the help of a down counter.
Required frequency of the sawtooth wave = 200kHz. Hence,
the number of counts to be counted by the counter before
reset = 100MHz/200khz = 500 counts. Hence the counter
starts at 499 and resets when it reaches 0.

2) For 100KHz: Given frequency of clock is 100 Mhz

Hence the time period of the clock is 10ns. The sawtooth
wave could be generated with the help of a down counter.
Required frequency of the sawtooth wave = 100kHz. Hence,
the number of counts to be counted by the counter before reset
= 100MHz/100khz = 1000 counts. Hence the counter starts at
