Figure B3-1. Simulating a Slow Voltage Ramp

Figure B3-2. Simulating a Fast Voltage Ramp

Variations On This Implementation

1.The module could be set to begin ramping in response to an external or backplane TTL Trigger.

2.The module could be set to generate SRQ when it has finished its transition. This would notify the computer that the voltage is at the proper level.
