4-MHz oscillator using 74LS00 quad two-input NAND gates serves in place of crystal source of individual MC6802 microprocessors to ensure synchronizing so one microprocessor operates during half-cycle when other microprocessor is disabled Arrangement gives computing power of two MPUs with system cost of one data bus. No time is sacrificed since half-cycle used would normally be dead time on bus.-J. Farrell, “Synchronizing Two Motorola MC6802s on One Bus,” Motorola, Phoenix, AZ,1978, AN-783. (View)

Circuit NotesDuring normal hold mode, the replicated analog voltage is buffered straight through the S/H amplifier to the output. Upon issuance of a SAMPLE signal, the SiH amplifier is placed in the hold mode, holding the voltage until the new analog voltage is valid. The same SAMPLE signal triggers an update to the input sample-and-hold amplifier. The most current analog voltage is captured and held for conversion. The previously deter-mined voltage is held stable at the output during the conversion cycle while the SAR/D-to-A converter continuously adjusts to replicate the new input voltage. At the end of the conversion, the output sample-and-hold amplifier is once again placed in the track mode. The new analog voltage is then regenerated. (View)

Provides audible backup for visual display in microprocessor-controlled system that requires human intervention under certain conditions, to alert operator who may be watching machinery rather than display. When input line goes high, device emits 1-s beep that means stop. When input goes low, 1-s lower-frequency boop sounds to indicate go. S1 represents signal derived from single-bit computer output. Audio bursts are generated by 555 timers, IC2 is wired as mono MVBR to determine tone duration, set by C4 and R11.Negative-going pulse on pin 2 triggers mono on. ff microprocessor circuit creates pulse rather than level change, input should go to pin 2. Tone frequency is set by C5, R13, and R14 of IC3. Trigger uses IC1A as inverting opamp and IC1B as noninverting opamp. Trigger outputs are differentiated to give negative-going spike for each input level change. Spikes are ORed by Dl and D2 for trigger input of IC2. Different tones are achieved by using IC1A to change input voltage to pin 5 of tone generator IC3. 0p-tional electrolytic capacitor across R24 will in-crease volume.-C. F.

This circuit shows the basic UJT building block (Fig. 9-1), which is used in a light dimmer with soft-start operation that applies current to the light slowly enough to eliminate high surges (high inrush current). These current surges, found in most cold-filament light dimmers, shorten lamp life. With this circuit, the lamp is heated slowly by a gradually increasing voltage so that inrush current is kept to a minimum. R4 controls the charging rate of C2 and provides the means to control or dim the lamp. (View)

Capacitor C1 is charged through timing resistor R1 when the clock output is high. When C1 reaches the upper threshold voltage, the output signal decreases, and then C1 discharges through R1 until its voltage reaches the lower threshold point. When this happens, the output increases again and the cycle repeats itself. Using the parts values shown results in a frequency of 1 Hz. The output frequency can be adjusted by trimming the value of R1 slightly. (View)

Holds audio channel of receiver silent until receiver input signal reaches predetermined amplitude. DC control voltage can be derived from IF amplifier by rectification or from second detector of receiver. FET is biased to cutoff by DC gate voltage applied to threshold terminals. DC control voltage bucks this bias and activates amplifier when-ever it exceeds predetermined threshold in range of 0-6 V. If receiver gives opposite polarity for DC voltages, use P-channel FET such as 2N2608, reverse C2, and change R4 and R5 as required.-R. P. Turner, FET Circuits, Howard W.

Circuit produces function E0 = Xy/12, where X is input voltage in range of +10 mV to +10 V and Y is analog programming voltage in range of -0.4 V to -10 V. Uses Optical Electronics 2534 temperature-compensated log feedback elements, +5 V reference, two high-frequency opamps, and one low-frequency opamp. 2534 produces log conversion of input signal. 5898 multiplier serves to vary scale factor of log signal. With offsets used as shown, +10 V input will always produce +10 V output regardless of Y input. To set up, adjust R4 until output does not change with Y for +10 V input, then adiust R7 for +10 V output with +10 V input.- Voltage- Controlled Non-Linear Function Generator, Optical Electronics, Tucson, AZ, Application Tip 10263.

Modulation signal is injected by using two resistors, volues of which are determined by available r-f drive power; higher power is needed for larger resistance values. Excellent linearization of waveform is obtained with Re from 10 to 30 ohms. Rb should be in range from 100 to 2,000 ohms, with 470 as good com promise value.

This self-starting fixed-frequency oscillator circuit gives excellent frequency stability. R1 and C1 comprise the frequency-determining network, while R2 provides the regenerative feedback.Diode D1 enhances the stability by compensating for the difference between VOH and VSUPPLY. In applications where a precision clock generator up to 100 kHz is required, such as in automatic test equipment, C1 might be replaced by a crystal. (View)

Circuit Notes
This circuit rapidly charges capacitor Csto to a voltage equal to an input signal. The input signal is then electrically disconnected from the capacitor with the charge still remaining on Csto Since Csto is in the negative feedback loop of the operational amplifier, the output voltage of the amplifier is equal to the voltage across the capacitor.Ideally, the voltage across Csto should remain constant causing the output of the amplifier to remain constant as well. However, the voltage across Csto will decay at a rate proportional to the current being injected or taken out of the current summing node of the amplifier. This current can come from four sources: leakage resistance ofCsto, leakage current due to the solid state switch SW2, currents due to high resistance paths on the circuit fixture, and most important, bias current of the operational amplifier. If the ICH8500A operational amplifier is employed, this bias current is almost non-existent (less than 0.01pA). Note that the voltages on the source, drain and gate of switch SW2 are zero or near zero when the circuit is in the hold mode. Careful construction will eliminate stray resistance paths and capacitor resistance can be eliminated if a quality capacitor is selected. The net result is a low drift sample and hold circuit.The circuit can double as an integrator. In this application the input voltage is applied to the integrator input terminal. The time constant of the circuit is the product of R1 and Csto. (View)
