Precision Ramp Generator & Comparator -  Circuit Ideas for Designers Application Notes Advanced Linear Devices, Inc....[App Note]
Precision Waveform Converter uses Sawtooth Wave -  03/01/96 EDN-Design Ideas....The circuit in Figure 1 can convert almost any waveform into another by coupling a sawtooth waveform with the reference inputs of a conventional bank of comparators.  This addition allows the circuit to control the discharge time of CD more precisely. The circuit has numerous applications,.... EDN is migrating links. This link is not verified.  Search the "title" + "EDN" for new link.
Programmable oscillator uses digital potentiometers -  7-Mar-02 Issue of EDN  Digital potentiometers are versatile devices; you can use them in many filtering and waveform-generation applications.  This Design Idea describes an oscillator in which setting the resistance of two digital potentiometers independently programs the oscillation amplitude and frequency. Figure 1 shows a typical diode-stabilized Wien-bridge oscillator that generates accurate sine waves fro.... [Design Idea by Alan Li, Analog Devices, San Jose, CA]
Programmable Ramp Generator has 14 Bit Linearity -  09/12/96 EDN-Design Ideas....  This linear ramp generator uses a DAC, a transistor array, MOSFET switches, and current-steering techniques to achieve 14-bit linearity (Figure 1). The output current of IC1, a DAC-10, is a product of the digital code and the reference-current input, where IO=(code/1024]×2IR. IR is.... EDN is migrating links.

Pulse Generator & Signal Tracer -  Dual-purpose test-instrument Very simple Circuitry,1.5 Volt  Battery-operated  (added 09/05)
Pulse generator aids IC testing 09/01/09 Test & Measurement World:  As ICs increase in complexity and decrease in size, their pin counts drop or, at best, remain constant. The result: a need for pin-saving measures like serial programming. In the past, multiple pins might have been available for programming an IC’s current or voltage limit, but today’s ICs often encode that limit as a set number of pulses on a serial line. -- [Kevin Frick, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]
Pulse generator has Low top side aberrations -  05/25/00 EDN-Design Ideas....Impulse-response and rise-time testing often require a fast-rise-time source with a high degree of pulse purity. These parameters are difficult to achieve simultaneously, particularly at subnanosecond speeds. The circuit in Figure 1, derived from oscilloscope.... [Design Idea by[Jim Williams, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA]
Pulse Generator Verifies Test Setups -  05/26/94 EDN-Design Ideas....Verifying the rise-time limit of wideband test-equipment setups is a difficult task. In particular, you must often know the "end-to-end" rise time of an oscilloscope/probe combination to ensure measurement integrity. Fig1s circuit provides an 800-psec pulse....

Pulse Generator-High-Voltage -  Voltage, by definition, is the electrical pressure that causes current to flow through a conductor. When that pressure is sufficiently high, a high voltage is produced. But how do we define high-voltage? Is 100, 1000, or 10,000 volts considered high voltage? When compared to 10 volts, they all can be considered high voltage.…. [Rewritten by Tony van Roon (VA3AVR)]
Pulse Stretcher Increases ECL Gate Gains -  01/20/94 EDN-Design Ideas....stretches the output pulses of an ECL comparator by operating the ECL line receivers with unusually large pulldown resistors to the -15V supply. The large load resistance maximizes the gains of the emitter-follower output stages and speeds up the rising edges.... [Design Idea by Nicholas J Bucska, PC Peripherals, Louisville, CO]
Pulse Width Adjuster Reverses Servo Motor -  03/17/94 EDN-Design Ideas....Typical remote-control systems and robotics applications use standard R/C servos, which often require a reversal of the direction of rotation. Since varying the input signal's pulse width between 1 and 2 msec controls the servo's output position, a circuit that adjusts the pulse width.... EDN is migrating links.

Pulse Width Trimmer Outdoes One-shots -  03/03/97 EDN-Design Ideas....The simple circuit in Figure 1a trims the trailing portion of a large-width input pulse to a size as narrow as 10 nsec. The input to the circuit is an active-low TTL pulse longer than 10 nsec or a continuous low level after a high-to-low transition. The output is a fixed 10-nsec pulse,.... EDN is migrating links.

Pulsed Sensor Extends Battery Life -  01/01/98 EDN-Design Ideas.... Activating the sensor circuit in Figure 1 for 1 sec every 30 minutes lowers its 20-mA supply current to an average of 70 µA. For a battery comprising three AA Duracells, this pulsed operation extends the battery's life to several years. The sensor uses an optocoupler and an IR-emitting diode....
