Quick Summary

A pulse generator, also known as a pulser, is an electronic device designed to create and apply electrical pulses. These pulses can be used for various control functions. In the context of electronics, signal generators are a type of instrument that can produce different types of signals, including pulsed signals with precise duration and frequency.12

While the term "pulse generator" can refer to a general device for creating pulses, a related application is the pacemaker. A pacemaker is an electronic device that generates rhythmic electrical impulses to regulate a person's heartbeat when their natural cardiac system is impaired. These devices can be temporary or permanent, with implanted pacemakers using batteries that typically need replacement every four to five years.3
