Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating pulses that includes a circuit having a dynamical transfer function is disclosed. The circuitry exhibits oscillatory behavior when its operating point is forced to an unstable region of the transfer function by means of manipulating the transfer function. In an embodiment, a voltage source signal is used to manipulate the transfer function of the circuit. By manipulating the transfer function, the operating points can be dynamically set in the stable or the unstable region.
