PULSE POSITION MODULATOR
This application uses the timer connected for astable operation, as in Figure 14, with a modulating signal again
applied to the control voltage terminal. The pulse position varies with the modulating signal, since the threshold
voltage and hence the time delay is varied. Figure 15 shows the waveforms generated for a triangle wave
modulation signal.
