7.2.2 Pulse-Position Modulation

Figure 7-3 shows that any of these timers can be used as a pulse-position modulator. This application modulates the threshold voltage, and thereby, the time delay of a free-running oscillator. Figure 7-4 and Figure 7-5 show the output frequency and duty cycle versus control voltage.

NA556 NE556 SA556 SE556 Circuit for Pulse-Position Modulation
A. The modulating signal can be direct or capacitively coupled to CONT. For direct coupling, consider the effects of modulation source voltage and impedance on the bias of the timer.
