Fast Pulse Detector

circuit schematic

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 [...]

Fast Peak Detector

circuit schematic

Fast peak detector requires special amplifier features. The output stage must have high slew rate to keep up with the intermediate stages of the amplifier. This condition causes either a long overload or DC accuracy errors. The amplifier must deliver large currents into the capacitive load of the detector to maintain a high slew rate [...]

Pulse Position Modulator

circuit schematic

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 [...]

Pulse Width Modulator Using 555 IC

circuit schematic

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 [...]

Open Loop Fast Peak Detector

circuit schematic

A fast peak detector similar but faster than previous peak detector, can be implemented using open loop configuration. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: In this  design, D1 is the detector diode and D2 is a level shifting or compensating diode. A load resistor RL is connected to – 5V and [...]
