SIMULATION_OF_FLANGING

Published:2009/7/2 0:38:00 Author:May

Sound-effect circuit sometimes called phase shifter simulates playing of two tape recorders having same material while varying speed of one by pressing on flange of tape reel. Resulting time delay causes some signals to be summed out of phase and canceled. Effect is that of rotating loudspeaker or of Doppler characteristic. Uses two LM348 quad opamps, two AM9709CN quad JFET devices, and one LM741 opamp. Phase-shift stages are spaced one octave apart from 160 to 3200 Hz in center of audio spectrum, with each stage providing 90' shift at its frequency. JFETs control phase shifters. Gate voltage of JFETs is adjusted from 5 V to 8 V either manually with foot-operated rheostat or automatically by LM741 triangle-wave generator whose rate is adjustable from 0.05 Hz to 5 Hz.- Audio Hand-book, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1977, p 5-10-5-11.   (View)

KEYED_FREE_RUNNING_MVBR

Published:2009/7/2 0:37:00 Author:May

One section of Exar XR-2556 dual timer is operated in free-running mode, with other section used to provide ON/OFF keying. Frequency of oscillator is set by RA, RB, and C2. Timer 1 operates as mono MVBR with output connected to reset pin 8 of timer 2. Trigger drives pin 1 of timer 1 high, keying timer 2 on and producing tone-burst output for duration set by R1 and C1. Supply voltage is 4.5-16 V.- Timer Data Book, Exar Integrated Systems, Sunnyvale, CA, 1978, p 23-30.   (View)

EDGE_TRIGGERED_MONO

Published:2009/7/2 0:36:00 Author:May

Output pulse width is precisely determined by external clock frequency and countdown factor N of 74C193 binary counter (t = N/f). Pulse is generated on rising edge of input, with output remaining high until count N is reached by binary counter. Counter resets and output returns instantly to zero if input pulse goes to zero before count of N. Value of N depends on which two counter outputs are connected to two-input NAND gate. With 74C193, 11 values of N between 1 and 16 are possible; with CD4013, values of N can range from t to 24,576.-R. L. Anderson, Digital One-Shot Produces Long, Accurate Pulses, EDN Magazine, March 5, 1978, p 127.   (View)

LM3900_AS_MONO

Published:2009/7/2 0:35:00 Author:May

R4 holds output high normally, so C1 is charged almost to V+ level through D1. Negative input trigger forces output of current-differencing amplifier low, and C1 discharges through R1. When decreasing current through R2 approaches current in R3 (when voltage across C1 is about one-third of V+), output switches to high and returns circuit to standby state. Pulse width, equal to 1.1R1C1, can be programmed easily by using pot or some form of manual or electronic switching for R1 .-W. G. Jung, IC Op-Amp Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1974, p 510-512.   (View)

PULSE_TRIGGERED_MONO

Published:2009/7/2 0:33:00 Author:May

Combination of two ICs generates pulse having width precisely determined by external clock frequency and countdown factor N of 74C193 binary counter; time t in seconds is equal to N divided by frequency in hertz. With 74C193, 11 values of N are possible (1-6, 8-10, 12, and 16). With CD4013 14-stage counter, values of N can range from 1 to 24,576. Input pulse must be shorter than out-put pulse. Value of N depends on which two counter outputs are connected to two-input NAND gate.-R. L. Anderson, Digital One-Shot Produces Long, Accurate Pulses, EDN Magazine, March 5, 1978, p 127.   (View)

Addition of D1 and R4 to astable MVBR connection of 741 or equivalent opamp results in two different charging rates for C1, depending on whether opamp is in positive or negative saturation. Positive and negative peaks of output pulse then have different widths.-R. Melen and H. Garland, Understanding IC Operational Amplifiers, Howard W.

FREE_RUNNING

Published:2009/7/2 0:27:00 Author:May

Positive feedback is applied to noninverting input terminal of oparnp through voltage divider R1-R2 to make amplifier switch regeneratively and repetitively between saturated states. Charging time of C controls duration of each state, to give desired free-running multivibrator providing rectangular (pin 6), trapezoidal (pin 3), and sawtooth (pin 2) sym-metrical waveforms. Article gives design equations and waveforms. For nonsymmetrical waveforms, use alternative circuit in place of R; here, diodes switch two different timing resistors into circuit alternately.-G. B.

SEQUENTIAL_TIMING_GIVES_DELAYED_MONO_MVBR

Published:2009/7/2 0:25:00 Author:May

Output of first timer section of Exar XR-2556 dual timer is capacitively coupled to trigger pin of second timer section. When input trigger is applied, output 1 goes high for duration T1 = 1.1R1C1, then goes low and triggers timer 2 through CC. Output at pin 13 then goes high for duration T2 = 1.1R2C2 to give performance of delayed mono MVBR. Supply voltage is 4.5-16 V. Choose R, to keep timer output below 200 mA for supply voltage used.- Timer Data Book, Exar Integrated Systems, Sunnyvale, CA, 1978, p 23-30.   (View)
