When voltages are measured, it is not always necessary to find the exact value. Often, it is sufficient to check whether a potential lies within a certain range of voltages. The present circuit indicates by means of three LEDs whether a voltage is greater than 4 V, 5.7 V, or 7.4V. The reference potential is provided by a series network of diodes D4 to D9. The LEDs are connected to various junctions in this network. The measurand is applied to the LEDs via emitter follower T1 and series resistors. Any one LED will light only if the input voltage exceeds the sum of the base-emitter junction of T1, the drop across the relevant series resistor, the LED voltage, and the drop across the diodes following the LED.

For higher frequencies, use an overtone crystal oscillator like the one shown here. The circuit is a Butler oscillator. The overtone crystal is connected between the oscillator emitter of the NE602 (pin 7) and a capacitive voltage divider that is connected between the oscillator base (pin 6) and ground. An inductor is also in the circuit (L1),and it must resonate with C1 to the overtone frequency of crystal XTAL1. The circuit can use either third- or fifth-overtone crystals up to about 80 Fig. 24-4 MHz. (View)

This simple and symmetrical free-running generator has a 50-Ω output impedance, a pulse width of 100 ns and complementary outputs that swing essentially from ground to the power-supply voltage. Moreover, it functions with a power supply range from < 1 to > 15 V and maintains a low voltage and temperature drift while consuming little power.
For oscillation to occur, each transistor must have a gain greater than unity. This restricts the value of R to a range of 1 kΩ to 1 MΩ, because the gain will be less than unity when the transistor is saturated or when beta is low as a result of small collector currents. The two RC timing networks do not have to match because the RC with the longest time constant will determine the frequency of oscillation. (View)

A simple pulse stretcher built with two sections of an op amp uses voltage follower U1A to drive D1 and C2. C2 charges to the peak value of pulse voltage. R3 and R4 determine the discharge time of C2 and therefore the pulse stretching. U1B acts as a voltage follower. Typically this circuit can stretch a pulse by a factor of 50. C2 can be charged to accommodate different pulse rates. (View)

Generating 12V from a 5-V supply for flash memory usually requires a switching regulator and inductor to produce the necessary 30-rnA byte-wide flash. The LTC1262 reduces to just four small capacitors and no inductors the components required for this dc-to-dc conversion function, which generates 30 mA guaranteed output current from a 5-V ±5 percent supply. This surface-mount solution requires less than 0.2 in2. The LTC1262 features a charge-pump-gated oscillator/tripler architecture operating at 300 kHz. The gating of the oscillator regulates the output voltage at 12V.Operating supply current for the LTC1262 is 1 mA maximum, which drops just 10μA max when the device is shut down. Output voltage ramp-up is well behaved, with absolutely no overshoot. The LTC1262 is specified to operate with input voltages down to 4.75 V and up to 5.5V. (View)
