The audio input to J1 lights low-voltage lamp I1. This light illuminates light-dependent resistor R3 (100 KΩ to 1 MΩ dark resistance) and modulates the intensity of the lamp plugged into SO1. L1 and C1 suppress RFI caused by the triac phase-control circuit. D1 and TR1 are a diac and a triac, respectively, and are the types used in common lamp dimmers. (View)

Used as reference for A/D converter when reference voltage required is below that of zener, permitting simplified circuit design. Zener drift contributes proportionally to output temperature drift, while opamp offset drift contributes at greater rate. Opamp is unnecessary if high output impedance can be tolerated.-R. C.

Provides temperature-compensation trimming to give lowest possible reference-voltage drift for A/D converter. Reference zener is LM199A having 0.5 PPM/℃ drift that is independent of operating current. Low-drift combination of LM121 and LMl08A has drift predictably proportional to offset voltage, permitting use of potentiometers for trimming to better than 1 PPM/℃. Article gives details of trimming procedure to be used during temperature runs.- R. C.

Uses JFET biased slightly below pinchoff in combination with micropower opamp to convert zero-temperature-coefficient drain current to correspondingly stable reference voltage. Additional JFET J2 makes operation independent of value of unregulated input. Output impedance is low. For higher output impedance, reference voltage can be taken from wiper of R2, but buffering could then be required. R1, is adjusted to compensate for temperature coefficient arising from opamp supply current.-N. Sevastopoulos and J. Mayer, Micropower Reference Stays Stable, EDN Magazine, Sept. 5, 1978, p 158.

Reference voltage of 6.6V, determined by breakdown voltage of 1N4611 zener, is scaled up to more positive level at output of A1. Scaled output has low impedance and can supply appreciable current without affecting reference voltage accuracy. Supply must be single-ended for reliable starting.-W. G.

Circuit is used to select any desired single pulse from wavetrain continuously applied to input terminal. When enable pulse (not exceeding width of input pulse) is applied, flip-flop FF1 clocks on leading edge of next input pulse and FF2 clocks on trailing edge. Output pulse thus has same width as pulses in input wavetrain. Edge-triggering characteristics of D flip-flops prevent operation if they are enabled during input pulse; in this case, next input pulse is delivered as output.-S. J.
