LINEAR_VCO

Published:2009/7/14 4:40:00 Author:May

Two sections of LM3900 quad linear opamp provide linear response for inputs of 2-12 VDC, Circuit can be adjusted with 1-megohm pot so 4-V input produces 400-Hz square wave at output, 5 V gives 500 Hz, etc. First opamp is connected as integrator and second as Schmitt trigger. When Schmitt output is high, transistor is turned on and diverts current away from noninverting input so integrator output ramps down toward ground.-C. Sondgeroth, More PLL Magic, 73 Magazine, Aug. 1976, p 56-59.   (View)

HYSTERESIS_AND_DELAY_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/15 4:59:00 Author:Jessie

Separate noninteracting frequency and duty-factor controls permit construction of simple telemetry oscillators having inherently linear transfer function. Absolute synchronization of independent and dependent variables is obtainable with relatively simple pulse-generating circuits. Synchronization cannot be lost. Average value of threshold voltage is maintained constant. Adjustment of hysteresis gap width moves threshold voltage limits symmetrically about average value. Resistance portion of RC delay is switched from positive to negative voltage symmetrically also. Article covers circuit operation in detail.-W. H. Swain, True Digital Synchronizer Employs Hysteresis-and-Delay Element, EDN Magazine, Jan. 1, 1971, p 33-35.   (View)
