Inexpensive pulse generator is programmable in 0.4-Hz steps from 0 to 825 Hz, and can be modified to extend range to 200 kHz, Circuit uses 555 connected in astable mode, with timing resistor RA replaced by 11 sets of timing resistors and switching transistors. Inputs and outputs are TTL-compatible. When bit input is high (0), its associated transistor is turned off. When bit input is low (1), transistor is on, allowing C1 to charge. When more than one input is low, charging is through parallel combination of resistors. Width of output pulse T1 is constant over frequency range.-E. G. Laughlin, Inexpensive Pulse Generator Is Logic Programmable, EDN Magazine, Aug. 20, 1974, p 92. (View)

With quality recorder and tapes, interface operates reliably at 1100 bauds, for loading 24K microprocessor system in 246 s, Cassette output is amplified and clipped by limiting amplifier IC34. Bandpass filters followed by full-wave detectors respond to 2125-Hz mark and 2975-Hz space frequencies and feed their outputs to summing junction at pin 5 of three-pole active low-pass filter IC37. 2975-Hz tones are rectified to positive voltage and 2125-Hz tones to negative voltage, with amplitudes varying from maximum at exact frequencies to sum voltage of 0 V at midfrequency of 2550 Hz. Output opamp IC38 delivers correct TTL level for reading by single-bit input port.-R. Suding, Why Wait? Build a Fast Cassette Interface, BYTE, July 1976, p 46-53. (View)

For use in pulse-modulated systems, to maintain a difference of 30 Mc between Transmitter and local oscillator frequencies. If local oscillator is required to operate 30 Mc below transmitter, discriminator diodes V3 and V4 should be reversed. Circuit is a hunting system, because local oscillator is swept over band of frequencies to find correct operating point. During search, phantastron V8 acts as saw tooth generator to provide sweep voltage for control element of local oscillator (repeller of klystron).-NBS, Handbook Preferred Circuits Navy Aeronautical Electronic Equipment, Vol. I, Electron Tube Circuits, 1963, PC 53, p 53-2.

Playback-signal conditioning circuit is used between tape recorder and transmitter when routine CW calls or RTTY test messages are re-corded on endless-loop cassette recorder. Recorded tone is rectified by :N4148 and applied to RC timing circuit. Decay voltage developed across network when tone is removed turns on 2N3904 and 2N3906 stages. Output of 2N3906 drives reed relay in transmitter keying circuit. if resistor is used in place of relay, drop across it during key-down period can be used to drive electronic keyer,-Cassette-Aided CW and RTTY, 73 Magazine.

Controller serves for making duplicate copies of microprocessor programs recorded on magnetic tape, for insurance against accidental damage to master cassette during use. Used between audio out- put of cassette player and audio input of tape recorder. Opamp IC1 with gain of 100 overloads so output is constant-amplitude square wave regardless of input level from tape being copied. If program uses audio tones for digital data, eight cycles of 2400 Hz represents digital 1 and four cycles of 1200 Hz represents digital O. Additional opamps act as four-pole Butterworth filter rejecting signals above 3000 Hz. 10K pot is adjusted so output level matches requirements of recorder,-P. A.
