Abstract :
A solution for obtaining an exponential variation of time versus input voltage of a time-modulating circuit is investigated, implemented and its performances are measured. Most time-modulating circuits produce a delay that is linearly dependent on the input voltage. This paper proposes a new method of controlling the time delay output by making it vary exponentially with the input voltage. This solution is especially useful in aplications where the time-delay is constantly modulated by a prior error amplifier.
