SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on generating a periodic impulse signal with specific time intervals between impulses. The user initially created continuous impulses but sought to introduce gaps of 1-5 microseconds between them. Solutions provided include using a counter circuit to count impulses and output zeros for specified counts, and employing a monostable multivibrator circuit to generate controlled single pulses. Additionally, the choice of components like capacitors and resistors can influence the timing of the impulses.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of impulse signal generation
  • Familiarity with counter circuits
  • Knowledge of monostable multivibrators
  • Basic electronics components (capacitors, resistors)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research counter circuit design for impulse control
  • Learn about monostable multivibrator applications
  • Explore timing adjustments using capacitors and resistors
  • Investigate waveform shaping techniques in signal processing
USEFUL FOR

Electronics engineers, hobbyists designing impulse circuits, and anyone interested in precise signal generation techniques.

I made a circuit to generate a periodic impulse signal ,i.e, one impulse generated and a zero for around 1us and then repeated again, but ended up with continuous impulses. Is there a circuit which could add zeros in between two impulses?

Here one impulse could be viewed as a |sin(x)| function, with one period of around 10ns.

Thanks

What do you mean by impulse?
 
@skeptic2

As mention previously, you could view an impulse as a single |sin| wave with time period of around 10ns. If you desire some other name for it that's no problem, all I meant by an impulse was to have some voltage above zero for a very short duration of time (maybe square, sine or some random waveform).

In my case I was able to generate such waveforms in a continuous manner,i.e., one immediately following the next, which was not desired. So, I wanted to add some zero time between the two for time period of few us( 1-5 us).

I hope I was clear in my question.
 
How were you generating your impulses?
 
for sharing your experiment and question. It sounds like you are trying to create a single impulse signal with a specific time interval between each impulse.

To answer your question, yes, there are circuits that can add zeros or "off" periods in between impulses. One way to do this is by using a counter circuit, which counts the number of impulses and then outputs a zero for a specified number of counts before generating the next impulse. This can help create a more precise and periodic impulse signal.

Another approach is to use a monostable multivibrator circuit, which can generate a single pulse of a desired width and then remain in a stable state until triggered again. This can help create a more controlled and precise impulse signal.

I would also suggest considering the type of circuit you are using and the components you are using. Some components, such as capacitors and resistors, can introduce delays and can be adjusted to achieve the desired time interval between impulses.

I hope this helps and good luck with your experiment!
