QUICK START GUIDE Demonstration System EPC9126xx OTHER FEATURES Narrow pulse generator: Modifications: Many signal generators cannot produce an accurate, short pulse. While diodes D1 and D2 can provide some protection to FET Q1 and The EPC9126xx includes a function to obtain narrow output pulses, following laser D3, they have parasitic inductance and capacitance that can reduce a method given in Section 8.2.2.2 of the Texas Instruments LMG1020 data performance at the very fastest speeds.
