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 ...

A small signal generator, designed to provide a programmable frequency synthesiser that is able to generate a signal in the 433, 915 and 2,400 MHz ISM bands has been announced by Ampleon. The ...

This sawtooth generator circuit use 741 IC and is used as a musical sound synthesizer. The sawtooth input signal is continously changed through P2 to a waveform with a doubled frequency and half ...

The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...

For a long time, I have thought that pulse generator outputs should not have adjustable amplitude and offset. Instead, they should have an adjustable top value and a separately adjustable bottom value ...

This direct digital synthesis IC can function as an arbitrary waveform generator by bypassing the SIN table ROM, holding the phase accumulator at zero, and using the phase register as the ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 7. This simple, robust, and low-cost signal generator, based on the LM386 power amplifier IC, provides a trio of audio-band signals ...
