[sdiy] Saw vs Triangle Sync

[Harry Bissell]

You can do soft-sync on a sawtooth wave. Just condition the reset pulse
so that it causes an 'early' reset only if the normal trip point is close.

Hard-sync is unconditional reset. Soft-sync is conditional reset.

WTF is an 'N Sync ???   :^)

AH-HA!!  So, "soft sync" is Tricore sync, and "hard sync" is Sawcore sync.

It is all crystal clear now!  (This has been confusing me for a year!)
