The circuit consists of a variable current Source that charges a capacitor, which is rapidly discharged by a Schmitt-trigger comparator, The sawtooth waveform thusproduced is fed to another comparator, one with a variable switching level. The outputfrom the second comparator is a pulse train with an independently adjustable frequencyand duty cycle. The variable-frequency ramp generator consists of capacitor C1, which is charged by a variable and nonlinear current source. The latter compnses a 2N2907A pnp transistor, plus resistor R1 and the potentiometer R2 Capacitor C2 eliminates any ripple or nolse at the base ofthe transistor that might cause frequency jitter at the output (View)

Low-cost NAND-gate sections A and B form low-cost oscillator for driving two Motorola MC6802 microprocessors.NAND gates C and D function as phase-locked loop, with D ensuring that phases of enable outputs are 180° apart. Small drifts in oscillator frequency do not affect synchronization. Circuit allows each MPU to operate during half-cycle that other MPU has disabled, to provide additional computing power of two microprocessors while maintaining system costs of onedata bus.-J.

This circuit operates as an oscillator and a timer. The 2N6028 is normally on due to excess holding current through the 100 k resistor.
When the switch is momentarily closed, the 10 μF capacitor is charged to a full 15 volts and 2N2926 starts oscillating (1.8 M and 820 pF). (View)

In this circuit, there are two feedback paths around an op amp. One is positive dc feedback which forms a Schmitt trigger. The other is a CR timing network. Imagine that the output voltage is +10V. The voltage at the noninverting terminal is +15V.
The voltage at the inverting terminal is a rising voltage with a time constant of CTRT.
When this voltage exceeds + 5V, the op amp's output will go low and the Schmitt trigger action will make it snap into its negative state. Now the output is - 10 V and the voltage at the inverting terminal falls with the time constant as before. By changing this time constant with a variable resistor, a variable frequency oscillation may be produced. (View)

Consists of an oscillator using two gates from CD4011 quad NAND gate, separated from diode rectifier by another NAND gate. Increasing oscillator frequency gives more pulses per second and higher integrated meter reading. Each meter range is linear, so value of 5-pF capacitor can be read on lowest range.Diodes are 1N34 or equivalent. R1 is 12K, and R2-R6 are 50K trimpots set to values shown in table. R7 is 5K, and R8 is 10K trimpot. B1 is 9-V transistor battery. Article covers construction and calibration with known capacitors.-E.

L1 is a loop of 10 to 20 turns of insulated wire with a diameter anywhere between 4 to 4'. Oscillator frequency (7 to 30 MHz) shifts substantially when a person comes near or into the loop. This oscillator together with a reso-nant detector might make a very good anti-personnel alarm. Transistors are 2N2926 or equivalent. (View)

To obtain a 1000:1 Sweep Range, the vol-tage across external resistors RA and RB must decrease to nearly zero. This requires that the highest voltage on control pin 8 exceed the voltage at the top of RA and RB by a few hundred millivolts. The circuit achieves this by using a diode to lower the effective supply voltage on the 8038. The large resistor on pin 5 helps reduce duty cycle variations with sweep. (View)

Inexpen sive third-overtone CB crystal used at 9-MHz fundamental serves as high-performance discriminator for VHF FM receiver. Adjust C3 for zero voltage with unmodulated carrier at or near center frequency. Adjust CI and C2 with AF sine wave applied to FM signal generator, using CR0 to check distortion of recovered sinewave. With 1 V P-P IF signal at 9 MHz and 5-kHz deviation, recovered audio will be about 1 V P-P at lower audio frequencies. Good limiter is required ahead of discriminator for AM rejection.-G.
