COINCIDENCE_DECADE_COUNTER

Published:2009/7/13 23:18:00 Author:May

Circuit generates coincidence triggers for advancing count at any instant. Two decade schemes are shown by broken lines connected to basic counter stages. With dash-dash lines, counting proceeds in binary fashion until eighth count; at ninth count, stages 1 and 4 generate positive leading coincidence trigger and apply it to stages 2 and 3 to change them from 0 to 1, so all stages are at 1 on count 9. Next count then clears all stages to O. Dash-dot lines show coincidence for advancing the counter six units for the fourth count.-P. K. Malhotra and R. Parshad, Novel Coincidence Technique for Transistor Decode Counter, Electronics, 36:7, p 71-72.   (View)

WAILING_WITCH_NOISEMAKER

Published:2009/7/13 23:15:00 Author:May

Two unijunction transistors, Q1 and Q2, are connected in a dual-oscillator circuit. Transistor Q1 is connected in a very-low-frequency relaxation oscillator circuit, with C1, R1, R5, and R9 setting the operating frequency. Transistor Q2 is connected in a similar oscillator circuit that operates at a much higher audio frequency. That oscillator's frequency is set by R6, R10, and C2. Resistor R7, a 1-MΩ potentiometer, sets the mixing level of the two oscillators. By adjusting R5, R7, and R6, many strange sounds can be created.   (View)

TWO_OUTPUT_SQUARE_WAVE_PULSE_GENER_ATOR

Published:2009/7/15 23:51:00 Author:Jessie

Pairs of control pulses are provided in sequence by silicon unijunction transistor in relaxation oscillator. Interval between pulses is determined by R3-C2. When C2 charges enough to trigger Q4, pulse fed to base of Q5 makes it conduct heavily; C3 charges and reset pulse is then developed across R4. Next, Q5 switches off, thereby feeding negative pulse to base of Q6 to switch Q6 off and make its collector voltage rise rapidly to form negative second pulse of pair.-C. D.

HIGH_SPEED_VOX

Published:2009/7/13 23:05:00 Author:May

Use of switching transistors for rapid, silent voice-controlled switching of transmitter-receiver functions improves on-the-air effectiveness of SSB station. Conversation is essentially the same as when using telephone. Each set of contacts that would open or close single circuit in relay-type VOX is replaced by switching transistor. TR switch is diode-biased antenna gate in which actual switching takes place 200 μs before RF appears, being accomplished by forward-biasing diode with DC voltage. Input to LM3900 is through high-pass filter. Operation of similar solid-state VOX circuit is described in detail in earlier article by same author (see author index),-H. R.
