With the circuit in figure 6 it is possible to generate pulses whose duration is given by R1, and separation adjusted at the 1 M ohms trimpot. Capacitor C can have values between 100 pF and 1000 µF and the maximum operating frequency for a 12 V supply is in the order of 2 MHz. The supply can be made with voltages from 5 to 12 V, and the waveform of the output signal is rectangular.
