What is a Pulse output?

by | Nov 19, 2025 | 0 comments

A pulse output is a digital signal that switches between high and low states in a repeating pattern, often used for counting and signal transmission.

A pulse output is a type of digital signal that switches between two states, typically high (1) and low (0), in a repeating pattern. The duration of the high state is called the “pulse width” and the duration of the low state is called the “pulse period”. The frequency of the pulses, or the number of pulses per second, is called the “pulse frequency”. Pulse outputs are commonly used in digital electronics, including control systems and digital communications.
