BUILT_IN_LOGIC_PROBE

Published:2009/7/2 21:58:00 Author:May

PROBE-Permanently wired LEDs indicate TTL levels and changes in levels, LEVEL LED-1 comes on for TTL 1 input and goes out for TTL 0 input. EDGE LED-2 comes on momentarily for input changes. Will detect levels, steps, single pulses, and pulse trains. Only haif of each IC is used, so dual tester can be made if desired. ICs 1a and 1b form noninverting driver for 9602 mono which is triggered on both positive-going and negative-going edges by C1 and D1. Pulse train input having period less than width of flash pulse will keep EDGE indicator on.-K. W. Christner, The Built-In Logic Tester, BYTE, Jan. 1977, p 82-83.   (View)

1_kHz_THREE_FUNCTION

Published:2009/7/2 21:50:00 Author:May

Uses National LM324 quad opamp, with appropriate biasing for single supply of +5 to +25 VDC. Values of R1 and R2 establish fc at 1000 Hz, while R3 gives Q of 50. Values of R1 and R2 for other bandpass center and cutoff frequencies fc can be calculated from R = 15 ×107/fc. Fourth opamp may be used as output amplifier or for summing highpass and low-pass outputs. C1 is same as C2.-P. A.

LOGIC_PROBE

Published:2009/7/2 21:49:00 Author:May

Pocket-size battery-powered probe using two inexpensive CMOS ICs has such low standby current drain that ON/OFF switch is unnecessary. Drain is appreciable only when LEDs are on during use. Mallory TR-133 4.2-V mercury battery gives 2-V threshold for TTL compatibility. LEDs come on to indicate logic 1. Pulse-stretching circuit ensures detecting positive or negative pulses as short as 250 ns.-J. Edrington, Battery-Powered Logic Probe Needs No ON/OFF Switch, EDN Magazine, May 20, 1975, p 72 and 74.   (View)

1_kHz_CASCADED_OPAMP_BANDPASS

Published:2009/7/2 21:47:00 Author:May

Bandwidth of only 71 Hz is achieved by using four identical three-opamp filters in series, for increased selectivity in communication or RTTY receiver. Values for R1 and R2 are made variable for first filter stage, but pot is used for R3 in all four stages so they can betuned to same center frequency. Batteries are used for supply, asfilter draws only 17 mA.-F. M. Griffee, RC Active Filters Using Op Amps, Ham Radio, Oct. 1976, p 54-58.   (View)

RTL_TTL_PROBE

Published:2009/7/2 21:46:00 Author:May

Static LED indicates logic Ievel at probe tip. Dynamic LED indicates presence of high or 1 pulse at probe tip even though momentary, because circuit stretches pulse to about 50 μs for easy visibility. Pulse stretcher requires at least 100-ns 4-V pulse. 1N4001 diode protects against reversed power leads. Probe requires +5 V from circuit under test. LEDs and transistor are not criticaL-Circuits, 73 Magazine, April 1974, p 31.   (View)

LOGIC_STATE_PROBE

Published:2009/7/2 21:41:00 Author:May

Useful for low-repetition-rate applications having single narrow pulses, as in computer interfaces and logic control systems. Pulses as narrow as 50 ns are stretched by mono so they provide LED indication. If teady state of circuit under test is low, CR1 will light when S1 is in in low position. If steady state is high, CR2 will light when switch is high. Other two lamps indicate presence of pulse superimposed on steady-state signal. If repetition frequency of pulse is high, pulse light Speed Logic Probe, EDNlEEEMagazine, Nov. 1,1971, p 51.   (View)

LOGIC_PROBE

Published:2009/7/2 21:21:00 Author:May

Provides almost as much information, when working with TTL or DTL digital circuits, as costly CRO or logic analyzer. Can be built into length of plastic tubing, with probe tip projecting at one end and two supply leads coming from other end.One LED flashes for high to low transition, and other for low to high transition. Flash is visible even with very narrow pulses, because probe circuit stretches pulse width. With S1 open (memory mode), pulse LED at right stays on until reset by operator, for capturing any stray pulse. If probe tip is held on open circuit or on chain of floating inputs, no LED will light.-C. W. Andreasen, Superprobe, 73 Magazine, Holiday issue 1976, p 92-93.   (View)

TTL_STATE_PROBE

Published:2009/7/2 21:13:00 Author:May

Uses voltage drop of LED in Schmitt trigger to indicate high, low, opencircuit, and pulse-train conditions at probe input. Indicator is Monsanto MV5491 dual redgreen LED package. High input saturates Tr1, cuts off Tr2, and turns on red LED. Low inputcuts off Tr1, and turns on green LED. For high impedance at input, both LEDs are off. Rectangular waves up to about 1 MHz turn on both LEDs, with relative brightness giving rough indication of mark-space ratio.-J. C. Flower, Logic Probe, Wireless World, Sept. 1976, p 72.   (View)
