NOISE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 20:55:00 Author:May

This noise generator provides constant noise energy over its bandwidth, which results from the non-linear behavior of its switching components, more particularly T4. It is very useful for measurements where limited noise bands are required. Varying the ratio R6:R7 and the clock frequency enables the gen-erated noise to be adapted to specific requirements. Transistors T2 and T3 are current sources. The current through T2 is about 10 times the level of that through T3. Assuming that T4 is on and that the clock input is low, T1 is off, and C2 discharges. The capacitor is pulled to about half of the supply voltage by the two current sources. When that state is reached, stability ensues because the potential then present at the gate of T4 keeps the FET switched on. When the clock goes high, T1 is switched on so that C2 is connected between the gate of T4 and the earth. Because C2 is only partly charged, the FET is switched off. Transistor T1 is kept switched on by OR gate D1/D2 so that the clock pulses are blocked. Capacitor C2 then charges via T3 until the potential across it becomes high enough to switch on T4. Transistor T1 is then switched off and the circuit is ready to receive another clock pulse (or rather a leading edge of one). Because it is not known when the clock pulse arrives, it is not known to what potential C2 will be discharged by T2 (and countered by T3). It is therefore also not known when the next clock pulse will arrive. In other words, the pulse width of the output signal is varying constantly, which is characteristic of a noise signal.   (View)

STEP_FU_NCTION_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 5:57:00 Author:May

Successively lower resistances at decoder outputs create stairstep function for testing various types of instruments. Steps are equally spaced and of equal height, covering range of 5-12 or 50-120 mV depending on setting of range switch and RS. Spacing between steps ranges from 1.6 s to 6 min, so total time for complete 10-step stair-case is 16 s to 60 min depending on setting of 2.5-megohm timer pot. Reference voltage Vb can be 1.45-V mercury cell. Resistor values shown for Rd provide fixed 10% increments in stairstep.-M. M. Lacefield, Simple Step-Function Generator Aids in Testing Instruments, Electronics, Dec. 26, 1974, p 103 and 105.   (View)

Base-step generator produces series of voltage or current steps synchronized with beginning of each collector voltage sweep, for application to base or gate of three-terminal semiconductor, device while sweep voltage is applied to collector of curve tracer that displays current-voltage characteristics on CRO. Circuit is bulk around Motorola MC1406L 6-bit D/A converter U5. U1 (7400), U2, and U3 (both 7473) form synchronous divide-by-8 counter whose outputs are applied to A1-A3 inputs of US. U6 (MC1741P1) and Q2 form current amplifier. al is general-purpose NPN transistor having DC current gain of about 30. Point A goes to output of full-wave rectifier using two 50-PIV 1-A diodes connected across 26.4-V secondary of transformer. Table gives values for R3 through R8 as ratio of R2 for various gains and steps. Thus, for 500-mV steps (gain of 100), R7 is about 101 ohms. Accuracy depends on values of R2-R9 used. Never apply voltage steps to base of bipolar transistor.-H. Wurzburg, Integrated Circuit Base-Step Generator, Ham Radio, July 1976, p 44-46.   (View)

1_kHz_SQUARE_WAVE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 4:39:00 Author:May

When the output is high, R3 and R4 are in parallel, and C1 charges via R1 until the current in R2 equals that at the noninverting terminal. This action occurs when C1's voltage rises to 2/3 of the supply voltage. At that point, the circuit switches regeneratively. The output switches low and C1 starts to discharge via R1.Now, R4 is effectively disabled and the current to the noninverting terminal is determined solely by R3, so C1 discharges until the current through R2 falls slightly below that of R3.This happens when the voltage across C1 falls to about 1/3 of the supply voltage. At that point, the circuit again switches regeneratively, and the output again goes high.This circuit is useful for generating symmetrical square waves with maximum frequencies of only a few kHz. Because of the poor slew-rate characteristics of the LM3900 (0.5 V/μs), the output waveforms have rather slow rise and fall times.   (View)
