MINI_STEREO

MINI_STEREO
This circuit is built around two chips: the MC1458 dual op amp, configured as a preamplifier, and the LM378 dual 4-watt amplifier. The gain of the preamp is given by R3/R1 for one side and R4/R2 for the other side, which is about 100. That gain can be varied by increasing the ratios. The left and right channel inputs are applied to pins 2 and 6. The left and right outputs of U1 at pins 7 and 2 are coupled through C5/ R10 and C3/R6,respectively, to U2 to drive the two 8-Ωloudspeakers.   (View)

FASTER_PHASE_LOCK

Published:2009/7/6 1:15:00 Author:May

FASTER_PHASE_LOCK
Circuit was developed to reduce the normally long acquisition time of phase-locked loops when measuring frequency of short signal bursts. Synchronization of VCO to input phase allows correction pulses to be developed in correct polarity only, to give lockup time less than 10 cycles of input when using idling frequency of 12 kHz for VCO. Input signals are compared to those of VCO at EXCLUSIVE-OR gate A. Gating of error pulses by gate F and flip-flop G-H allows I or J to drive current pulses of correct polarity into C1. Voltage correction on C1, controlled by values of R2 and R3, is proportional to width of error pulses. Article covers circuit operation in detail.-R.
