Using first integrals, the authors provide an alternative way to the Poincaré map in order to study the limit cycles of piecewise linear differential systems. As an application of the method developed here, the authors show that a usual relaxation oscillation phenomenon occurs in a two-parameter family of planar piecewise linear vector fields.
