IC1 is connected in the astable mode, driving RLA. C3, Dl, and D2 prevent spikes from the relay coil and the wiper motor from triggering IC1. VR2 is adjusted to give the minimum delay time required. VR1 is the main delay control and provides a range of from about 1 second to 20 seconds. SW1 is an over-ride switch to hold RLA permanently on (for normal wiper operation). The relay should have a resistance of at least 150 ohms and have heavy duty contacts. The suppression circuit may be needed for the protection of IC1. (View)

A variable resistor is used to vary the light-level response of a phototransistor. Phototransistors are more light sensitive than photodiodes, but they generally have poorer frequency response. (View)

This tachometer can be set up for any number of cylinders by linking the appropriate timing resistor as illustrated. A 500 ohm trim resistor can be used to set up final calibration.A protection circuit composed of a 10 ohm resistor and a zener diode is also shown as a safety precaution against the transients which are to be found in automobiles.

The very simple circuit uses only two CD4001 packages, i.e., eight NOR gates and operates in the following way: Pulse streams are fed to an RS flip flop generating an output waveform which has a small or large duty cycle depending on the direction of rotation. The same input pulses are also fed to a NOR gate, which adds the two pulse trains.
The rising edges of this waveform are used to produce short positive pulses from the circuit con-sisting of R1, C1, D3, and a NOR gate used as an inverter. This is used to sample the outputs of the flip flop to detect the direction of rotation. The output, whose duty cycle is large, forces the sampling NOR gate to generate a pulse train which sets (or resets) the second RS flip-flop continuously giv-ing a permanent indication of the direction of rotation.

At the instant that power is applied to the 555 astable, timing capacitor C1 is initially discharged, causing the output of the chip output at pin 3 to be high. Once C1 has charged to about 2/3 of the supply voltage, its output goes low, and the discharge transistor turns on, draining the charge on C1. (View)

Positive feedback is provided by resistor R4, which causes the latching. A positive pulse at the set input causes the output to go high and a reset positive pulse will return the output to es-sentially 0 Vdc. (View)

The AD537 is well-suited for frequency-shift modulator and demodulator applications. Requir-ing little power, it is especially appropriate for using phone-line power. The Bell-System 202 data en-coder shown here delivers the mark frequency of 1.2 kHz with the data input low. When the input goes high, the timing current increases to 165 μA and generates the space frequency of 2.2 kHz. The trim shown provides a ±10% range of frequency adjustment. The output goes to the required band-pass filter before transmission over a public telephone line. A complementary demodulator is easy to implement. (View)
