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 ...

This automatic pulse generator(figures 1 and 2) is a test gadgetthat senses a probed contact to a pair ofterminals under test and automaticallyissues a momentary ...

[Matthew] got himself into a real pickle. It all started when he was troubleshooting a broken Hewlett Packard 8007A pulse generator. While trying to desolder one of the integrated circuits, [Matthew] ...

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 ...

When working with hardware, whether a repair or a fresh build, it’s often necessary to test something. Depending on what you’re working with, this can be easy or a total pain if you can’t get the ...

I am not sure why pulse generator buffers are so fascinating at the moment. It could be that the workshop’s only crystal-backed generator that can run from 0% to 100% duty cycle is still broken, or it ...
