The document discusses different types of voltage time base generators. It describes how a Miller circuit uses an integrator to convert a step waveform into a ramp waveform by charging a capacitor with constant current. It also explains how a bootstrap circuit maintains a nearly constant voltage across a resistor in series with a capacitor to provide a constant current source for linear charging. The document compares Miller and bootstrap time base generators and examines their input and output waveforms.
