GAIN_PROGRAMMABLE

Published:2009/7/14 4:41:00 Author:May

Gain of non-inverting opamp can be programmed with standard digital logic levels. With input at 0 V, Q1 is turned on but is held out of saturation by Schottky diode D2. Resulting opamp gain is (R1 + R2)/R2.If R2 is 1.13 kilohms and R1 10 kilohms, gain is 10. When input is 5 V, Q1 is off and gate of Q2 is driven to -15 V. Gain now becomes (R1 + R2 + R3)/(R2 + R3). If R3 is 8.87 kilohms, gain is 2.-K. Karash, Gain-Programmable Amplifier, EEE Magazine, Sept. 1970, p 89.   (View)

PHASE DRIVE-Half of 9614 polarity-reversing line driver feeds pair of Hewlett-Packard HCPL-2602 optically coupled line receivers through coax cable. Cable-grounding switches A and B change performance Closing only switch B enhances common-mode rejection but reduces propagation delay slightly. Closing both switches optimizes data rate. Schottky diodes at receiver inputs improve data rate, NAND flip-flop at output greatly improves system noise rejection in split-phase termination of line．－ Optoelectronics Designer's Catalog 1977, Hewlett-Packard, Palo Alto,CA,1977,p158－159.   (View)

Diode network and detector provide output proportional to square of input voltage. Input range of 40 db is split into two 20-db segments. Each stage saturates and gives constant output for voltages above operating range. For voltages below operating range, stage is cut off and has zero output. Combination of two stages gives desired square-law characterisitic. Resistor values are: R1A, R3A a=3.18K,R1B＝57.9K, R3B＝18.75K, R5 ＝3K、R7＝10, R2A, R4B ＝5.06K, R4A ＝0.86K, R2B ＝64.2K,R6 ＝ 300 and R8, R9 ＝ 990．－R. J.

FAST_SYNCHRONIZING

Published:2009/7/14 4:38:00 Author:May

Combination of phase splitter and DAC provides accurate synchronization of high-stability VCO with external reference frequency. IC divides reference frequency by 4 and provides two signals 90° apart, while IC2 divides VC0 frequency similarly by 4. Phase relationship between outputs of IC3 depends on whether VCO is higher or lower than reference, while frequency of IC3 outputs depends on difference between oscillator and reference frequencies, Schmitt triggers IC4 and IC5 supply clock and up/down control to counter IC6. If VC0 frequency is low, IC6 counts up at rate proportional to frequency difference and delivers increasing control voltage to VCO as required for increasing oscillator frequency.-H. W.

Timer providing turnoff delays up to 1 h gives warning beep about 30 s before turnoff to permit resetting if desired for watching remainder of particular program.

Photocell can be substituted for ON/OFF switch to permit remote control with flashlight while leaving entire circuit in TV set. Can be operated from 9-V battery if this voltage is not available in receiver. Momentary closing of switch turns on TV and initiates timing cycle. With 3.6-megohm pot for R, maximum delay is 1 h. For 30-min delay, use 1.3 megohms. Setting of R determines exact delay.-J. Sandier, 9 Projects under $9, Modern Electronics, Sept. 1978, p 35-39.   (View)
