When you need to create simple pulses and don’t have a pulse generator, you can often substitute a function generator. By using a function generator’s triggered burst function, you can create pulses ...

A previous Design Idea describes an astable multivibrator that gets hysteresis from the positive feedback stage using a technique you can characterize as positive-capacitive feedback (Reference 1). It ...

I have wanted to make a pulse generator for years. I know you can buy perfectly good ones, but not if you want non-overlapping outputs to drive the mosfets in synchronous-rectified dc-dc converters.

For a long time, I have thought that pulse generator outputs should not have adjustable amplitude and offset. Instead, they should have an adjustable top value and a separately adjustable bottom value ...
