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 ...
The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...
A lifetime of amassing random pieces of test equipment has left me with a gap in my armoury, namely that I don’t possess a low frequency function generator. This could easily be addressed, but for two ...
Fig 1. This basic VCO/waveform generator IC circuit includes a voltage follower loop (formed with IC1) and symmetry feedback loop (IC3) to eliminate an asymmetric duty cycle, which would cause ...
Commercial curve tracers have existed for decades. But designers without access to one can create a simple circuit that uses a function generator and oscilloscope to generate JFET transfer and ...
The 1510A Precision Signal Source generator available from MTI Instruments is a compact and portable device and includes dual-channel Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) that creates high precision signals ...
