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 [...]

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 [...]

Pulse Generator (Oscillator) With Adjustable On-Off Period Using CA3130 Op-Amp

circuit schematic

One of the interesting features of CA3130 op-amp  is its high input resistance, because using such high  input resistance, we can build an astable multivibrator with high R/C ratios. The figure below shows the circuit’s schematic diagram, you can see the variable resistors to adjust the “on” and “off” periods independently. Resistors R1and [...]

Lamp Dimmer using 555IC PWM – Video Tutorial

This video is a tutorial of lamp dimmer using PWM. This video shows the use of PWM for lamp dimmer. In this video, the PWM kit uses a 555 IC. The brightness of the lamp is dimmed by changing the pulse. If we up the pulse slowly, the intensity of the lamp getting brighter. Here [...]
