Adjustable Duty Cycle 567 IC Pulse Generator

Pulse generator circuit shown in the schematic diagram below produces square wave pulse with adjustable duty cycle/active factor. The benefits of using this circuit are low components count and high stability of its output frequency. The frequency of this pulse generator is fixed, the frequency f depends on the value of R and C1, following the formula of  f=1/(1.1*R1*C1), where […]
