LF/MF Someone was asking about converting sine wave to Sq wave recently from a TS590 to drive an Amplifier Feed the DRV output sine wave from the TS590 to a Schmitt triger cct and then use a Direct A
Unfortunately, 0dBm from a 50R source into a Schmitt isn't enough in many cases. 74HC series logic has Schmitt thresholds at 30% and 70% of supply volts, which if 5V needs at least 2V pk-pk. At
When I did this, for the -4dBm out from a DDS source, I designed a custom filter for the DDS anti-aliassing that had asymmetric termination impedances and provided a voltage step-up. (AADE filter des
Hi Mal, The Schmitt-trigger could deform the duty-cycle of the the signal, which can be very critical for some kind of PAs :-) I often use a simple OP AMP and amplify the signal so that the OP AMP is
