Wide range pulse generator

摘要

A pulse generator for generating pulses over a wide range without changing scales is disclosed. The pulse generator is capable of generating pulses in the range from 0.5 Hz to greater than 2 MHz in one continuous range. The wide range of operation is achieved by a timing capacitor which is charged at a logarithmic rate with respect to a frequency determining voltage input signal. This permits a wide frequency range to be covered with a reasonable range of the voltage input signal.
