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 Exar XR-2206 function-generator IC cangenerate square, triangular, and sinusoidalsignals with low distortion. Its outputfrequency is inversely proportionalto the components in an RC ...

Electrical equipment that operates below its voltage rating can overheat or power down. Here's how to determine your load's operating voltage. Voltage drop across switchgear and feeder and branch ...

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 ...
