Voltage Time Base Generators Overview

The document discusses different types of voltage time base generators. It describes how a Miller circuit uses an integrator to convert a step waveform into a ramp waveform by charging a capacitor with constant current. It also explains how a bootstrap circuit maintains a nearly constant voltage across a resistor in series with a capacitor to provide a constant current source for linear charging. The document compares Miller and bootstrap time base generators and examines their input and output waveforms.

Time base generator
Constant current charging
A capacitor is charged with constant currentsource.
As it charged with constant current, it is charged linearly.

Miller circuit:
Integrator is used to convert a step waveform to ramp waveform.
Bootstrap circuits
A constant current source is obtained by maintaining nearly constant
voltage across the fixed resistor in series with capacitor.

Compensating network is used to improve the linearity of bootstrap and
