An exponential signal generator having a memory, a scale unit and an adder. A value stored in the memory is scaled and added to itself to produce a new value for storing in the memory. The exponential signal is represented by the exponential value.

Method and apparatus for producing an exponential signal

A method and system for providing variable edge control of pulse waveforms is provided. A positive edge DAC number is set so that the positive edge time of a first pulse waveform of some amplitude is substantially equal to some initial edge time. Similarly, a second positive edge DAC number associated with a second pulse waveform of different amplitude is set so that the positive edge time of the second pulse waveform also equals the initial edge time. Positive gain and offset factors are then generated so that a third positive edge DAC number associated with any pulse waveform may be calculated so that a desired positive edge time of that waveform is produced. Negative edge DAC numbers may be calculated in a similar manner so that the positive and negative edge times of a pulse waveform may be balanced, or more efficient methods may be used.
