Analog modulation input goes through buffer Q1,-R1, to amplifier Q2-R2,-R3,. Outputs of Q2 are buffered by separate emitter-followers Q3, and Q4, and fed to clipping diodes D2, and D3 acting on top and bottom of amplified carrier wave, Following pulse amplifier converts TTL signal to square wave. Two opposed emitter-followers and D5, form buffer that can either source or sink current from load.

555 timer starts as astable MVBR but then acts withA2 to form multiple-feedback bandpass filter that removes harmonics from square wave to give sine-wave output with distortion less than 2%. Sine output is fed back to timer through C4 which now operates as Schmitt trigger, shaping sine wave to give output square wave. Frequency is determined primarily by filter components C1 C2 R1, and R2. Output is about 9 V P-P.-W. G. Jung, IC Timer Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, p 203-204. (View)

Modern pulse-code modulator can be used for experimentation above lowest legal frequency of 2.3 61ih, such as for satellite and moonbounce communication. Single voice channel is en-coded by using CMOS technology having low power consumption, good noise immunity, and moderate cost. Audio is sampled 10,000 times per second for conversion to 7-pulse code plus synchronizing bit, for 123 levels of encoding frequencies up to 5 kHz, When 10-kHz sampling spike (derived from external 1.28-MHz oscillator by frequency divider U10 and mono U11) arrives at pin 13 of transmission gate U1, AF voltage of pin 1 appears at pin 2.470-pF capacitor charges to this voltage and holds charge until next sample. This voltage is compared by U2 to linear ramp started by Q1 at sampling instant. When ramp voltage exceeds sampled voltage, U2 triggers, setting flip-flop U3 and resetting ramp generator to -5 V. Atsame time, binary counter U9 is stopped by reset flip-flop U15A, and binary equivalent of sample appears at pins 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, and 12 of U9. Remainder of circuit converts bits to serial form for transmission. Article explains circuit operation in detail and gives corresponding decoder circuit for receiver.-V.

Precision elapsed time/countdown timers using an Intersil ICM7217B 28-pin DIP. This circuit also uses an ICM7213 precision 1-minute/1-second time-base generator to provide a 4.1943 MHz crystal oscillator and divider, generating pulses counted by the ICM7217B, which is a 5959-maximum-count device. The thumbwheel switches allow a starting time to be entered into the counter for a preset countdown type timer, and allow the register to be set for compare functions. For instance, to make a 24-hour clock with BCD output the register can be reset with 2400 and the equals output used to reset the counter (courtesy Intersil, Inc.). (View)

Inexpensive frequency counter/tachometer. This circuit uses a 556 dual timer to generate the gating, not-store and not-reset signals for a ICM7217 counter. One timer is an astable multivibrator using RA, RB and C to provide an output that is positive for approximately 1 second and negative for approximately 300 to 500 μs to serve as the gating signal. The system is calibrated by using a 5M pot for RA as a coarse control and a 1 K pot for RB as a fine control. The other timer is a one-shot multivibrator triggered by the negative-going edge of the gating. This output at pin 9 is inverted to serve as the store pulse and to hold not-reset high. When the one-shot times out and the store goes high, not-reset goes low, resetting the counter. The one-shot pulse width is approximately 50 μs with the components shown. When fine trimming with FIB care should be taken to keep the gating low time at least twice as long as the one-shot pulse width (courtesy Intersil, Inc.). (View)

Developed to produce positive-going half-sine envelope modulated 100% by digital RF signal. Modulator uses loop gain of opamp to reduce diode drops very nearly to ideal zero level. D2, prevents opamp output terminal from swinging more negative than diode drop of 0.3V, which is not apparent at output. RF input amplitude must be sufficient to provide 100% modulation; this can be achieved by providing about 20% overdrive to give safety factor. Use hot-carrier diodes such as HP-2800 series.-D. L.
