TRIGGERED_MVBR

Published:2009/7/1 20:08:00 Author:May

Each trigger input produces fixed number of pulses, between 2 and 30 depending on setting of 1-megohm frequency control. Monostable feeds gated astable, both realized with single CD4001 IC. Use dashed circuit with pushbutton for manual operation in place of trigger pulse.-K, Padmanabhan, N-Stable Multivibrator, Wireless World, April 1977, p 61.   (View)

RETRIGGERABLE_MONO

Published:2009/7/1 20:07:00 Author:May

Circuit provides pulse widths up to 60 s, has short reset time, and can be retriggered during timing cycle. Pulse width is determined by C2, R3, R5, and R6.If trigger pulse arrives while output of A1 is high, C2 discharges to its original triggered state for initiating completely new timing cycle.-D.

AC_COUPLED_FLIP_FLOP

Published:2009/7/1 20:05:00 Author:May

When leading edge of 2-V positive trigger pulse is applied to negative input of 741 or equivalent opamp, this input becomes more positive than positive input and opamp swings into negative saturation. This condition is held by positive feedback until trailing edge of next trigger pulse makes opamp swing back into positive saturation. C2 prevents trailing edge of first pulse from driving opamp back into positive saturation. Value shown for C2 should be increased if pulses are longer than 50 ms.-R. Melon and H. Garland, Understanding IC Operational Amplifiers, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 2nd Ed., 1978, p 118-119.   (View)

INVERTED_MONO

Published:2009/7/1 20:03:00 Author:May

Connection shown for 555 timer accepts positive trigger pulses and delivers negative output pulses. Duty cycies above 99% are possible without jitter. Heavy loads can be driven from pin 7 without loss of accuracy, but excessive loading of pin 3 can affect timing accuracy. Width of output pulse is 1 ms for values of R1 and C1 shown. Trigger must be held, below two-thirds of supply voltage for standby I and raised above two-thirds of supply momentarily (not longer than pulse width) for triggering.-W. G. Jung, IC Timer Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, p 89.   (View)

VARIABLE_DUTY_CYCLE

Published:2009/7/1 20:02:00 Author:May

First section of Exar XR-2556 dual timer operates as astable MVBR whose frequency is equal to 1.44/(RA + 2RB)C1, with output used to trigger timer 2 connected in monostable mode. Time delay T2 of timer 2 is made less than period of timer 1 waveform, so both timers have same frequency. Duty cycle is determined by timing cycle of timer 2, adjustable from 1% to 99% with R2. Supply voltage is 4.5-16 V.- Timer Data Book, Exar Integrated Systems, Sunnyvale, CA, 1978, p 23-30.   (View)

1_Hz_TO_1_MHz

Published:2009/7/1 19:59:00 Author:May

Opamp-based astable MVSR generates square waves over extremely wide range, with suitable changes in circuit values. RCA 3130 opamp has CMOS output stage for driving either 5-V TTL or 10-15 V CMOS logic stages directly. Values are for 100 Hz. R1 and C1 can be readily scaled for different ranges. To control symmetry, replace Rt with two resistors in series with reverse-connected diodes as at lower right.-W. Jung, An IC Op Amp Update, Ham Radio, March 1978, p 62-69.   (View)

Timer is wired to give negative output pulse for positive-going input trigger pulse. Width of output pulse in seconds is 1.1RC. Input pulse must be narrower than desired output pulse width. When reset pin is momentarily grounded, output returns to stable state. VCC is 4.5-16 V at 3-10 mA.-H.M. Berlin, IC Timer Review, 73 Magazine, Jan. 1978, p 40-45.   (View)

2_Hz_ASTABLE_PULSER_Single

Published:2009/7/1 19:53:00 Author:May

capacitor circuit operates at very low duty cycles, in range of 10% to 1%. Battery drain is low because off current is about 1 μA for 50-mA on current. R4 and C determine on time, while R1 and C set off time. Circuit pulses about twice per second, which is suitable for animal temperature and heart-rate studies. Can be used with implanted transmitters operating from single mercury button cell for more than one year with suitable resistor values.-C.

DUAL_EDGE_TRIGGERING

Published:2009/7/1 19:49:00 Author:May

Although 9602 multivibrator IC can be triggered normally either on leading or falling edge of square wave, but not on both, addition of two resistors and one capacitor provides double-edge triggering. When input goes low, negative-going pulse through C1 triggers 9602 and makes it deliver one output pulse. When input goes high again, high-going pulse is delivered directly to pin 12 of 9602, triggering it again so it produces an other pulse.-J. P. Yang, Circuit Triggers 0ne-Shot on Both Edges of Square Wave, EDN Magazine, Nov. 15, 1972, p 49.   (View)

Simple circuit using four LEDs and one inverter (which may be a transistor or spare gate) displays all four possible states on two binary tines. When levels of lines X and Y are the same, A and B will be off.Inverter then places C and D at different levels so one LED (C or D) will be on, Reverse situation occurs when X and Y are at different levels.-D.Straker, Binary State Indicator, Wireless World, Feb. 1977, p 44.   (View)
