Generation of segmented sawtooth waveforms. A desired waveform is divided into intervals. A slope is associated with each interval. A charge current representing the slope is applied to a timing capacitor during each interval. Responsive to a clock signal, a counter chain indexes a digital memory which provides values to a digital to analog converter. The output of the digital to analog converter drives an adjustable current source to charge the timing capacitor.
