using a pulse generator - with particular reference to the Elektor pulse generator

using a pulse generator elektor april 1984 Elsewhere in this issue we have described our pulse generator project and dealt with all the constructional details. In this article, we will look at some of the possible uses for, and the various functions of, a pulse generator. We will, of course, concentrate on our own design, but the principles are the same for virtually all designs. using a pulse generator with particular reference to the Elektor pulse generator The name "pulse generator" tends to con- jure up images of an instrument that is primarily (if not entirely) intended for use with digital circuits. It is, of course, perfectly suited to providing all sorts of pulse shapes for digital circuits, but apart from this there are many more appli- cations that must be considered. In this article we aim to give a few practical examples of these, as well as a few general observations about using a pulse generator. It should be noted, however, that some points are intended solely for t...
