FET serves as nonlinear element in fastacting instrumentation circuit han-dling wide range of signals. R1 and R2 attenuate input signal so FET input is less than 25 mV for inputs up to 2 VRMS. Article covers design and performance. Gain is almost linear with gate voltage of FET,-R D Pogge,Designers'Guide to:Basic AGC Amplifier Design、EDNMagazine,Jan,20、1974、p 72-76 (View)

External resistances normally used with Motorola MC1552 video amplifier are replaced by 1N914 or equivalent diode so gain of amplifier is de-termined by AGO current through diode. Arrangement gives wide range of gain control, but lowest obtainable level of gain is normal unmodified gain off amplifier. Same circuit can be used with MC1553 highgain video amplifier.- A Wide Band Monolithic Video Amplifier, Motorola, Phoenix, M, 1973, AN-404 p 10. (View)

Low-pass filter serves as loop giving dosed-loop bandwidth of at least 5 kHz. Loop operates in square-law region of de-tector diode. Inputs to IF amplifier are in range from -60 dBm to -to dBm, and AGC action provides 30-MHz IF output of -15 dBm. Power splitter ensures that detector also operates at -15 dBm.

Provides very fast attack time with no AGC pop. Diodesare 1N914. When voltage across R10-08 decays below that across R9-C7, 03 conducts and clamps AGO bus to ground.AGO threshold is determined by value of RT, between 100K and 470K. AGC line must have high impedance, as with FET IF system. With l0 or bipolar IF amplifier, use low-impedance driver.T1 is audio transformer with 10K primary and 2K secondary (Radio Shack 273-1378).-D. Ste-vens, Solid-State Hang AGC, QST, July 1975, p 44.

First stage U2, using CD4007AE, is wired as two-line demultiplexer with only one output acting as transmission gate. Gain is lower in first stage to reduce noise. U1 is used as three-stage high-gain audio amplifier in which first two stages have low-pass filtering for stability. AGO voltage, developed from audio output, is fed back to U, to turn transmission gate off when gain must be reduced. Audio output is about 2.5 V P-P for inputs of 2 mV and greater.-K. H.

Passive highpass 1-kHz filter is used with audio millivoltmeter to improve accuracy of distortion measurements for low-impedance sources at 1 kHz.Filter removes low-frequency noise from input signal and compensates for loss of harmonic frequency. Applications include setting bias and recording levels of tape recorder. Adjust R1 for best null, then ad just R2 and value of C to equalize responses at harmonics.-J. B.

This circuit shows the classic DAC/op-amp combination that produces a digital D/A converter. VOUT is selected, in steps, by the binary signals at the digital input of DAC-10, with the highest VOUT set by VREF at pin 16. VREF is supplied by REF-01 (Fig.4-1). With the circuit assembled using the values shown (0.01 μF is typical for CC), apply binary inputs (typically -VS to -VS plus 36 V) at pins 5 through 14, stating with all zeros (or all 1s). Notice that VOUT varies (in steps) between 0 and a typical 9.9 V. Record actual values. Raytheon Linear Integrated Circuits, 1989, p. 495. (View)

Low-cost voltage-to-fre-quency converter IC is here used in A/D converter circuit that will accept bipolar inputs and generate positive-going pulses to indicate positive input voltages and negative-going pulses for negative input voltages. Opamps A1 and A2 form negative-output absolute-value circuit that feeds opamp A3 and RC4151 voltage-to-frequency converter, for generating 10-μs negative-going pulses with repetition-rate scale factor of 1 kHz/V. Full-scale input is 20 V P-P.Opamp A4 is ground-referenced voltage comparator having zener clamp, providing TTL-compatible logic output for indicating input polarity. Pulse-receiver/decoder section takes digitally coded signals arriving from transmitter, for processing by data line or D flip-flop and two trigger inputs of dual-edge retriggerable mono MVBR This generates 25-μs negative-going output pulse for each 10-μs input pulse from data line. Logic 1 on complementary output of flip-flop indicates that original input voltage to transmitter was positive.—E.

This circuit shows a DS1236 that is used to monitor and control the power-supply and software execution of a processor-based system, and to provide a pushbutton reset. When an out-of-tolerance condition occurs (when VCC is below 4.5 V for 10% operation, or below 4.75 V for 5% operation), the RST and RST outputs are driven to the active state. On power-up, RST and RST are held active for a minimum of 25 ms (100 ms typical) after 4.5 V (or 4.75 V) is reached to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize. The pushbutton input PBRST is debounced and timed so that reset signals are driven to the active state for 25 ms minimum. The watchdog-timer function forces RST and RST to the active state (shutting down the processor) when the ST input is not stimulated for a predetermined time period (because of some failure in software execution). The watchdog time period is 400-ms typical (600-ms maximum). The ST input can be taken from address, data, and/or control signals. When the processing is executing software, these signals are present, and cause the watchdog to be reset prior to time-out. Dallas Semiconductors, Product Data Book, 1992/1993, p. 10-73. (View)
