The circuit consists of four parts: a binary counter, a D/A converter, a VCO, and an audio output amplifier. The speed at which the counter counts depends on the frequency of the output of the VCO, which in turn is determined by the output of the counter. That feedback loop gives this circuit its characteristic output.The initial frequency of oscillation is determined by potentiometer R11. The VCO first oscillates at a relatively low frequency, and it gradually picks up speed as the control voltage supplied by the D/A converter increases.The D/A converter is simply the group of resistors RI through R8. When none of IC1's outputs is ac-tive, little current will flow into the base of Q1, so the VCO's control voltage will be low. As more and more counter outputs become active, base current increases, and so does the VCO's frequency of oscillation.The VCO itself is composed of IC2-a, IC2-b, and Q1; the timing network is D1 through D4, C1, R10, and R11. The diode bridge functions basically as a voltage-controlled resistor. The buffer amplifier is made up of the four remaining gates from IC2, all wired in parallel. The volume is sufficient for experimental purnoses, but you might want to add an amplifier, speaker, or both. (View)

A TTL counter, an 8-channel analog multiplexer, and a fourth-order low-pass filter can generate 10- to 25-kHz sine waves with a THD better than -80 dB. The circuit cascades the two second-order, continuous-time Sallen-Key filters within IC3 to implement the fourth-order low-pass filter.To operate the circuit, choose the filter's cutoff frequency,fC, by tying IC3's D0 through D6 inputs to 5 V or ground. The cutoff frequency can be at 128 possible levels between 1 and 25 kHz, depending on those seven digital input levels. Because the circuit ties D0 through D6 to ground, fC equals 1 kHz. The 100-kΩ potentiometer adjusts the output level between VDD - 1.5 V and VSS + 1.5 V. (View)

In this circuit, a square wave is filtered by a high-order low-pass filter so that a -3-dB frequency will eliminate most harmonics of the waveform. As a result, the filter outputs a fundamental sine wave. This method is applied to generate a sine wave by using a switched-capacitor filter (MAX292) (see the figure). This circuit offers wide frequency range (0.1 Hz to 25 kHz), low distortion, and con-stant output amplitude throughout the whole frequency range. (View)

A 555 timer operating in the astable mode generates the driving pulses and two 4518 dual BCD (binary coded decimal) counters provide the square waves. A TL081 op amp serves as an output buffer-amplifier, and potentiometers R1 and R2 are used in order to control the pulse's frequency and amplitude, respectively.The output-frequency range can be varied by changing CX. For example, a value of 0.1 μF gives a range from about 0.1 to 30 Hz, and avalue of 470 pF gives a range from about 10 Hz to 1.5 kHz. The maxirttum output frequency is 30 kHz. (View)

This basic VFO for the 3- to 6-MHz range is commonly used in amateur applications, using a Col-pitts circuit. For 5 to 5.5 MHz, C1 = C2 = 70 pF and for 3.5 to 4.0 MHz, use 1000 pF. C3 is typically 10 to 220 pF, depending on the frequency. C4, C5, and C6, together with C3, determine the frequency along with L1. C6 can be made up of several smaller values, paralleled to get the exact required value. (View)

Integrated circuit gates IC1-a and ICl-b form a monostable, whose time constant is determined by C2 and R3. When the transmitter is dekeyed (and then almost immediately rekeyed) point TX+ goes low and takes pin 1 low for a short time. This triggers the start of the timing period controlled by C2/R3, The capacitor C2, charges via R3 until the trigger point of gate ICl-b is reached. At this point, the monostable changes state and pin 3 goes low again. On the prototype, this time was about 700 ms. The pulse occurs each time after dekeying and it is normally inaudible. If, however, point TX+ goes high again (as in immediate rekeying) the monostable is still in the enabled state and the oscillations of ICl-c are present in the transmission. During this time period, the buffer gate, ICl-d, is enabled and the tone is therefore passed to the output. (View)

FL1 and FL2 are low- and high-pass filters that are used to eliminate undesired mixer products. Amplifier U3/Q3 supplies up to 200 mV rms to the output jack. (View)
