The circuit below is a schematic diagram of a fast pulse detector. At 100 ns or wider pulse width, the detection should be error free. At 60 ns pulse width, the detection error should be under 10%. This circuit should be used to detect at least 100 ns wide pulse to ensure an [...]

Pulse width modulator produce a PWM signal, a pulse with a constant frequency but with the duty cycle vary according to a modulating signal. Here is the schematic diagram of pulse width modulator circuit using 555 IC as the active component: This pulse width modulator circuit need external pulse train input to trigger [...]

Pulse position modulator can be easily built using 555 IC. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: Pulse position modulator modulate the on-period while keeping the fixed off-period. Pulse position modulation might substitute pulse-width modulation in some application. The main difference between pulse position modulation (PPM) and pulse width modulation (PWM) is [...]

This audio frequency meter uses 555 IC as a monostable multivibrator (one-shoot trigger). A monostable multivibrator can act as a frequency-to-voltage converter because it produce a fixed pulse width, with the repetition rate/density is proportional to the triggering input frequency. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: For resistor R1, because it set the [...]
