FM_TOUCH_TUNE

Published:2009/7/13 4:19:00 Author:May

FM_TOUCH_TUNE
Up to 10 channels can be tuned by turning on appropriate section of 4016 CMOS digital IC by finger contact that drives clock inhibit line low. 4017B then counts clock pulses until desired output goes high. C1 and R5 ensure that channel 0 is selected when circuit is turned on. Clock frequency is not critical and can range from 100 Hz to 19 kHz. For 120-Hz clock, wind several extra turns around power transformer of receiver and feed this voltage to bridge rectifier.-L. Crampin and R. van der Molen, Touch-Tune for F.M. Receivers, Wireless World, Jan. 1978, p 60.   (View)

LAMTERN_BATTERY_EXTENDER_

Published:2009/7/13 4:19:00 Author:May

LAMTERN_BATTERY_EXTENDER_
Life of lanternbattery can be tripled without reducing light by chopping current while doubling voltage at 50% duty factor. 6-V lamp is connected across chopped 12-V supply built around 4011 CMOS quad NAND gate. First two gates form chopping oscillator, while third serves as interface to any NPN high-gain power transistor. If lamp draws more than 1 A, add fourth gate as shown in dashed lines. If gate is not used, tie its input Ieads to pin 14 of IC. Duty cycle is varied with 1-megohm pot; set at midrange before ap-plying power, then adjust for normal lamp bril-liance.-J. A. Sandler, 9 Easy to Build Projects under $9, Modem Electronics, July 1978, p 53-56.   (View)
