This circuit provides positive protection of expensive electrical or electronic equipment against excessive supply voltage (resulting from improper switching, short circuits, failure of regulators, etc.). The circuit is used where it is economically desirable to shut down equipment, rather than allow the equipment to operate at excessive voltages. The circuit quickly places a short across the power lines (ac or dc), and thereby drops the voltage to the protected device to near zero and blows a fuse. With the values shown, the crowbar operating point (set point) can be adjusted over the range of 60 to 120 Vdc or 42 to 84 Vac. The values of R1 to R3 can be changed to cover different supply voltages, but the triac voltage rating must be greater than the highest operating point that is set by R2. Lamp II (with a voltage rating that is equal to the supply) can be used to check the set point and operation of the circuit, by opening the push-to-test switch and adjusting the input or set point to fire the SBS. An alarm unit such as the Mallory Sonalert can be connected across the fuse to provide an audible indication of crowbar action. Notice that this circuit cannot act on short, infrequent power-line transients. (View)

Can be assembled in small box as toy for small child. If mercury switch is used for S1, siren comes on automatically when box is picked up. MVBR Q1-Q2 controls rate at which siren wails, while Q3 and Q4 form AF MVBR that produces actual siren sound with frequency varied by triangle waveform on C1. MVBR Q5-Q6 is mono that conducts for preset time period when S1 is dosed, for applying power to siren. Values shown give 12 s of operation before siren is shut off. When carried by child, siren is jostled enough so it keeps recycling.-J. H. Everhart, Super Siren, 73 Magazine, Feb. 1978, p 96-97. (View)

Produces power output of 4 W across high-frequency BF range from 300 kHz to 30 MHz, for output of low-power ORP transmit-ter or as driver for final amplifier of higher-power transmitter. Gain is only 3 dB down at frequency limits and is still useful at 6 meters.Amplifier output may be shorted or left open ;n-definitely even with full drive. Stability and wide frequency response are achieved by add-ing considerable negative feedback to other-wise conventional broadband amplifier, In and T2 are wound on two-hole balun cores as found in TV sets, such as Phillips 4322-020-31520. Two lengths of No. 22 enamel are twisted about 3 times per inch and then wound through cote as shown. One end of one wire is connected to op-posite end of other wire to serve as center tap for transformer. Transformers are responsible for widefrequency response of amplifier.-J.

Precision frequency counter/tachometer. The ICM7207A provides a 1-second gating window and the store and reset signals. The display reads hertz directly. With pin 11 of the ICM7207A connected to V+ the gating time will be 0. 1 second, which gives tens of hertz in the LSB position. For shorter gating times a 6.5536 MHz crystal may be used, giving a 0.01-second gating with pin 11 connected to V+ and a 0.1-second gating with pin 11 open. To implement the 4-digit tachometer the ICM7207A with a 1-second gating should be used. In order to get the display to read directly in RPM the rotational frequency must be multiplied by 60.This can be done electronically using a PLL or mechanically using a disc rotating with the object with appropriate hole drilled for light from an LED to a photodevice (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).

Two National LM3909 ICs and single transistor generate rapidly modulated tone resembling that used on some police cars, ambulances, and airport emergency vehicles. Rapidly rising and falling modulating voltage is generated by IC having 400-μF capacitor. Diode-connected transistor forces this IC ramp generator to have ranger ON periods than OFF periods, raising average tone of tone generator and making modulations seem more even.- Linear Applications, Vol. 2, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, AN-154, p 7.

100 MHz frequency and period counter using the Intersil ICM7226B 40-pin DIP. This circuit uses a CD4016 analog multiplexor to multiplex the digital outputs back to the function input. Since the CD4016 is a digitally controlled analog transmission gate no level shifting of the digital output is required. CD4051s or CD4052s could also be used to select the proper inputs for the multiplexed input on the ICM7226 from 2-or 3-bit digital inputs. These analog multiplexers could also be used in systems in which the mode of operation is controlled by a microprocessor rather than directly by front panel switches (courtesy Intersil, Inc.). (View)
