Abstract:
An electronic switching circuit having a field effect transistor with a source, a drain, and a gate. A capacitor and resistor are connected in series between a gate and the source of the field effect transistor. The input signal to the circuit is connected at the junction between the capacitor and resistor.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, there is provided a duty cycle correction circuit including an input inverter, an output inverter, a charge distribution unit, and a drawing-off unit. The input inverter includes a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor and receives a clock signal. The output inverter outputs a clock signal according to a signal transmitted via a signal line from the input inverter. The charge distribution unit distributes, when one transistor of the PMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor is turned on, charge to capacitance elements selected from among one or more first capacitance elements placed on side of the signal line and among a plurality of second capacitance elements disposed on side of source of the one transistor. The drawing-off unit draws off the distributed charge from the selected capacitance elements while the one transistor is maintained to be on.

Abstract:
A method for generating short electric pulses, comprising the steps of generating a control pulse, feeding the control pulse to a bipolar transistor, which subsequently emits an output signal with a steep switch-off side by exploiting the charge storage effect of the bipolar transistor, and differentiating the output signal with the steep switch-off side so that short primary pulses are generated. An electric pulse generator is also disclosed.
