Pseudo-saturating power converter

Relative performance of three basic configurations of electronic conversion units (saturating, pseudo-saturating, nonsaturating) requiring low power levels is compared. Pseudo-saturating mode exhibits best overall performance, nonsaturating a close second, saturating a poor third

One-shot pulse shaper circuit

Pulse shaper circuit exhibits low power dissipation, self setting, and easy triggering. It is basically a magnetic one-shot multivibrator consisting of two blocking oscillators and an inhibit circuit
