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 ...

The PVM-4210 is a compact, OEM-style pulse generator module providing two simultaneous differential voltage pulses of up to ±950V (1,900 V differential), with pulse rise and fall times <15 ns, and ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Physicists at Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a compact laser that emits extremely bright, short pulses of light in a useful but ...
