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 ...
Read more Test Ideas and Design Ideas here. As ICs increase in complexity and decrease in size, their pin counts drop or, at best, remain constant. The result: a need for pin-saving measures like ...
[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] ...
P500 is a benchtop digital delay and pulse generator that generates four separately programmable delay-and-width outputs. It can generate delays up to 1,000 seconds in 1ps increments, and is capable ...
