SET_TESET_LATCH

Published:2009/7/6 7:23:00 Author:May

Provides almost complete isolation between each input and the output, as well as between inputs. Applying 2-V pulse at 14 mA momentarily to SET terminals allows up to 150 mA to flow between output terminals. This current flows until about 2 V at 15 mA is appkied to REST terminals or untilload voltage is reduced enough to drop load current below 1 mA.-R.N.

DC_ISOLATOR_WITH_HARMONIC_SUPPESSION

Published:2009/7/6 7:19:00 Author:May

Two isolators operating like push-pull amplifier minimize harmonic generation. When input signal is applied, upward change of incremental gain in one isolator is balanced by downward change in other to give harmonic cancellation. Circuit gain is about unity. Bandwidth is 2 MHz for signal below 2 V p-p. Input signals of either polarity may be applied at either inverting or noninverting input.-H. Sorensen, Opto-Isolator Developments Are Making Your Design Chores Simpler, EDN Magazine, Dec. 20, 1973, p 36-44.   (View)

OPTICAL_DRIVE_FOR_SWITCHING_TRANSISTOR

Published:2009/7/6 7:17:00 Author:May

Base driver circuit for TRW SVT6062 power Darlington switching transistor uses separate isolated bias supplies for each transistor to provide performance characteristics of driver transformer at lower cost. Bias supplies can use small 60-Hz transformers with bridge rectifiers and light filtering. Control isolation is provided by high-speed optical coupler that can be controlled directly from logic. DH0034 IC amplifies coupler output and provides level shifting as required for driving transistors Q1 and Q2.-D.

Edge-sensitive circuit outputs short pulses at each black-to-white or white-to-black transition. Timing diagram shows outputs corresponding to bar-code pat-tern indicated. Direct-current level at base of Q1 is held constant by DC servo action despite changes in temperature, ambient light, or back-ground of pattern. Alternate sensor uses photodiode and 2N2222 transistor for increased bandwidth. Amplified differentiated signal from collector of a2 is further amplified by IC2 and fed to dual threshold comparator.

TWANG_TWANG_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/6 7:07:00 Author:May

Twang is a guitar sound that more or less approximates a banjo or mandolin. The circuit produces unusual sounds from an ordinary electric guitar by cutting the bass, severely distorting the midband and highs, and then amplifying the distortion. S1 cuts the effect in and out, S2 turns the unit on and off.   (View)

1000_GAIN_AT_2_kHz

Published:2009/7/6 7:06:00 Author:May

Uses Harris HA-2900 chopper-stabilized opamp. Either input terminal may be grounded, giving choice of inverting or noninverting operation, or inputs may be driven differentially. Symmetrical input networks eliminate chopper noise, limiting total input noise to about 30μ VRMS when C is 0. Noise can be further reduced, at expense of bandwidth, by adding optional capacitors C as shown. Without these capacitors, bandwidth is 2 kHz.- Linear & Data Acquisition Products, Harris Semiconductor, Melbourne, FL, Vol. 1, 1977, p 7-69 (Application Note 518).   (View)

PRECISION_ABSOLUTE_VALUE

Published:2009/7/6 7:05:00 Author:May

Circuit using two Precision Monolithics OP-07 opamps provides precise full-wave rectification by inverting negative-polarity input voltages and operating as unity-gain buff er for positive-polarity inputs. Applications include positive-peak detectors, single-quadrant multipliers, and magnitude-only measuring systems. For positive inputs, circuit simply operates as two unity-gain amplifier stages. Negative input turns D1 off and D2 on, changing resistor currents precisely enough to give overall circuit gain of -1. Design equations are given.-D. Soderquist and G.

UNUSUAL_FUZZ

Published:2009/7/6 7:05:00 Author:May

It seems that guitar fuzz boxes have been around since the beginning of rock, and have seen little improvement over the years. This one is somewhat different because rather than simply distorting the sound, it also pulses in step with the peaks of the waveform from the pickup because of the Schmitt trigger op amp circuit. Capacitor C2 requires some explanation. It should normally be a 1- or 2-μF electrolytic capacitor. However, we show the value as 470 pF because it's recommended as an experimental value giving fgr out effects.   (View)

WAA_WAA_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/6 7:04:00 Author:May

The waa-waa effect is achieved as certain frequencies are amplified more than others.A phase shift RC oscillator makes up the basic circuit. Negative feedback is obtained by feeding part of the signal back to the base. When adjusting initially, RV1 is turned to minimum. RV2 is adjusted to a point at which an audible whistle appears indicating oscillation. RV1 is then adjusted till the oscillation just disappears. It should be possible to set RV2 to any value without any oscillation, this should also be achieved with the minimum possible value of RV1.   (View)

STEAM_LOCOMOTIVE_WHISTLE

Published:2009/7/6 7:02:00 Author:May

The waveform of a steam whistle is a complex combination of white noise and an audio frequency oscillation. The noise generator is a transistor (Q1) biased into zener mode. The audio frequency oscillation is a straightforward mixture of two similar (but not identical) sine waves, which after their addition produce a more complex waveshape.The sine wave generators are twin-t oscillators. Preset RV1 mixes the two sine waves so that an appropriate waveform is obtained. RV2 mixes this waveform with the white noise. Adjustment of all three presets will result in the required sound. Integrated circuit IC1 is an operational amplifier used as a simple mixer/amplifter which combines the steam whistle, chuffer, (generated elsewhere) and two-tone horn sounds into one, suitable for amplification by an extemal amplifier.   (View)
