Questions tagged [pulse]
A pulse in signal processing is a rapid, transient change in the amplitude of a signal from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value. There are many examples of a pulse function including: Step/rectangular pulse, impulse/dirac pulse, triangular pulse, sawtooth pulse, sinc pulse, Gaussian pulse, etc.

arduino pulse to transistor power maximum
Hello I want to get a confirmation that what I am doing is not going to fry my Arduino Mega.
The sketch I am using to send a pulse out on pin 8 to a 2n3055 that is switching 12 volts is this:
...

High power pulse generator
I'm designing a relatively high power pulse generator.
Basically I have a microcontroller generating a clean square wave (0-3.3 V or 0-5 V) which then goes into my amplification circuitry. I want to ...

Use of LED driven over-current in a strobe lamp
I'd like a strobe lamp using RGB LEDs as it's light source. I want to pulse the LEDs with very short duration pulses (ideally microseconds or less) at around 100 Hz.
The total on time for the LEDs ...

P-Channel Depletion Mode MOSFET for Negative Pulses
Would a p-channel depletion mode MOSFET make the most sense if the goal is to produce a high-voltage negative square pulse?
My reasoning:
MOSFET, because we're talking about a kV square pulse with ...

Generate DC pulse after switch turned off?
I've got a power source (say 12V DC) that I'm monitoring with a relay. I want to send a pulse (over 5V DC) to another relay for 60 seconds after the first power source has been turned off.
A ...

Time of flight difference in hardware
I have an ultrasonic emitter, and two ultrasonic receivers. When the emitter emits a pulse, the receivers get the signal at different times. I am only interested in the difference between the two ...
