Abstract:
1. A pulse generator comprising: an input for receiving a trigger; an output node for outputting a signal; a delay line comprising one or more delay units and a plurality of taps; one or more pull-up devices each connected to the output node for increasing the output voltage on the output node; and one or more pull-down devices each connected to the output node for decreasing the output voltage on the output node; wherein the taps of the delay line are either pull-up taps arranged to drive one or more pull-up devices or pull-down taps arranged to drive one or more pull-down devices; and wherein the taps of the delay line are operably connected to the pull-up and/or pull-down devices such that a trigger passing along the delay line activates one or more of the pull-up and/or one or more of the pull-down devices more than once.
