Function generators (FGs) are measurement instruments in the category of waveform sources. They grew out of both a need for a versatile source of multiple waveshapes and from some interesting analog ...

In the first two parts of this article, the first two generations of triangle-wave generator loops were presented – the foundational concepts at the heart of function generator (FG) technology. This ...

Bioengineers who specialize in creating tools for synthetic biology have unveiled the latest version of their 'biofunction generator and bioscilloscope,' an optogenetic platform that uses light to ...

Download this article in PDF format. Arbitrary function generators (AFGs) are used to generate many different types of electrical waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, triangular waves, and ...

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 ...

[tari] sent in a tip about a MAX5214 DAC evaluation board AVNET is giving away this summer. The MAX5214 / MAX5216 is a neat little chip providing a 14 or 16 bit DAC with a serial interface in a tiny 8 ...
