The more common approach to manipulate the incoming AC wave so that both halves are used to cause output current to flow in the same direction is the use of full-wave rectifiers. A full-wave rectifier ...

Editor’s note: The first part of this two-part design idea (DI) shows how modifications to an oscillator can produce a useful and unusual pulse generator; this second and final part extends that to ...

As an engineer, be it design or verification, more than half of our time is spent in debugging and analysis. One of the most common and basic approach to that is using the waveform that shows the ...
