PULSE POSITION MODULATOR
This application uses the timer connected for astable opera-
tion, as in Figure 10, with a modulating signal again applied
to the control voltage terminal. The pulse position varies with
the modulating signal, since the threshold voltage and hence
the time delay is varied. Figure 11 shows the waveforms
generated for a triangle wave modulation signal.

LINEAR RAMP
When the pullup resistor, R
replaced by a constant current source, a linear ramp is
generated. Figure 12 shows a circuit configuration that will
perform this function.
Figure 13 shows waveforms generated by the linear ramp.
