ramptiming
Ramp timing refers to the planning, generation, and analysis of ramp signals used to time or synchronize events in electronic systems. A ramp is a waveform that changes from a starting value to an endpoint over a defined interval. The timing aspect focuses on when the ramp starts, how long it lasts, and how accurately it reaches its endpoint within a specified window. Ramp timing is important in systems that rely on controlled sweeps, comparison intervals, or soft-start sequences.
Ramp generation can be accomplished in several ways. RC networks often produce exponential ramps, while constant-current
Characterization of ramp timing involves measuring the ramp waveform with oscilloscopes or timing analyzers to assess
Applications encompass ramp-compare analog-to-digital converters, waveform generation, motor control and PWM ramping, soft-start circuits in power
