pwm need to increase frequency

[amdx]

I have built the PWM circuit located here,
http://www.cpemma.co.uk/pwm_erg.html
The triangle osc. frequency is about 150 hz.
I want to increase it to about 15 khz.
When I changed the capacitor, C1 and resistor, R1 the waveform
got very distrorted. The risetime of the waveforms was slow.
Are there adjustments that can be made to make the circuit work at 15 khz?
Or is the LM 724 to slow for the application?
Thanks, Mike

Yup, LM324 is a pitifully slow opamp. And on some of them, all
sections screw up if one or more of them is driven open-loop, as two
of yours are.

Thanks John,
Ok, so is there a direct replacement IC or do I need to start over.

I believe a TL 074 / TL 084 will drop in and be an OK starting point.

In comparing the unity-gain bandwidth I see the LM324 is 1 and the TL084
is 3.
I'm not sure that's enough, any changes I can make to the circuit to help? I
need to order the part:-(
Thanks, Mike

The problem is in the output drivers in the LM324; they are very good
at being power-stingy, but not suited (due to crossover distortion)
for
high-audio-frequency operation. The TL084 uses more quiescent current
because it has higher output stage bias current, and lower output
impedance.
You can also add pullup resistors to an LM324, aim for about 1 mA of
current and the outputs of the LM324 will stay in the low-output-
impedance
condition. That 1 mA of added current is triple the LM324's minimum
power
requirement, of course.
