This is a pulse generator with adjustable duty cycle made with the 555 timer IC. The circuit is an astable multivibrator with a 50% pulse duty cycle. The difference from the standard design of a 555 ...

Pulse processing is an important function that the 555 is uniquely qualified to perform. Missing pulse detectors for production line monitoring is a very popular circuit. We have here though, a ...

The input resistor network in the circuit is there to turn the unipolar input signal into a bipolar signal within the IC’s ±3.5V clamping range. This is a bit of a waste of the AD8037, as it has ...
