The AD8001 is well suited for driving high-speed analog-to-digital converters, such as the AD9058.The AD9058 is a dual 8-bit 50 Msps ADC. In the circuit shown, there are two AD8001s driving the in-puts of the AD905f8 which are configured for 0- to +2-V ranges. Bipolar input signals are buffered, amplified (-2x), and offset (by +1.0 V) into the proper input range of the ADC. Using the AD9058's internal +2-V reference connected to both ADCs (as shown) reduces the number of external com-ponents required to create a complete data acquisition system. The 20-Ω resistors in series with ADC input are used to help the AD8001 drive the 10-pf' ADO input capacitance. The two AD8001s only add 100 mW to the power consumption while not limiting the performance of the circuit. (View)

In this dc-to-dc converter, the 555 is used to produce a rising and collapsing field in TI's primary, generating a high voltage in TI's secondary winding. That voltage is then full-wave, bridge rectified by Dl through D4, and filtered by C3. T1 is an Amidon Associates EA-775-375E core and nylon bob-bin, with #26 wire for the primary and #28 or #30 for the secondary. About 5 W of power is available. (View)

The LTC1174 step-down converter is designed specifically to eliminate noise at audio frequen-cies while maintaining high efficiency at low output currents. This circuit shows a 5-V, 120-mA out-put derived from 5 to 7 NiCad or NiMH cells. Small input and output capacitors that are capable of handling the necessary ripple currents help conserve space. In applications where shutdown is de-sired, this feature is available (otherwise short this pin to Vin).The LTC1174's internal switch, connected between Vin and Vsw is current controlled at a peak of approximately 340 mA. Low peak switch current is one of the key features that allows the LTC1174 to minimize system noise compared to other chips that carry significantly higher peak currents, eas-ing shielding and filtering requirements, and decreasing component stresses. Output current of up to 450 mA is possible with this device by connecting the 1 pgm pin to Vin. This increases the peak current to 600 mA, allowing for a high average output current. (View)

Input voltages can range from 8 V to 30 V. The load range on the 5 V is 0.05 A to 5 A while the 3.3-V load range is 0.1 A to I A. The circuit is self-protected under no-load conditions. Over all load and line conditions, including cross regulation, the 3.3-V output varies from 3.25 V to 3.27 V. The 5-V output varies from 4.81 Y to 5.19 V under the same conditions.In a typical application to 0.5 A on the 3.3 V and 0.25 A on the 5 V, efficiency is typically 76%. With an input voltage of 30 V and a full-load condition, the efficiency drops to 66%. In normal oper-ating regions, efficiency is always better than 70%. The 5-V ripple is less than 75 mV and the 3.3-V ripple less than 50 mV over all line and load conditions. (View)

This circuit tums a sine wave into a square wave. It is comprised of a single 2-input NAND Schmitt trigger that's conftgured as an inverter with a trigger level adjustment at its input. As the input voltage rises above the gate's trigger point, the output snaps to its alternate state, producing a square-wave output. (View)

Using the bilateral properties of a balanced mixer this transverter will produce 6-m output with 2-m inputs. Y1 is a 90-MHz crystal. Note that the input on 2 m is 143 to 144 MHz for 53 to 54-MHz output. This avoids possibility of extraneous 2-m reception during receive periods. If your radio will not transmit below 144 MHz, then use a 93- or 94-MHz crystal frequency. (View)

The second gate (G2) of a MOSFET can be used to incorporate a crystal oscillator into the same stage as a frequency mixer. Although old hat with tubes, this scheme is seldom seen in dual-gate MOSFET circuitry. L3, C3, and XI form the crystal oscillator, and T2 is an IF output transformer. T1 and C1 are tuned to the converter input frequency. This circuit should be useable up to 25 MHz or so, or higher with third-overtone crystals. (View)

Sensitivity is very high because of the GASFET front end. For best results, the scanner should be of a programmable variety. A complete kit is available from North Country Radio, P.O.
