Figures 2-O and 2-P shows the typical application circuit and pin configuration, respectively; for the MAX328/29. Figures 2-Q and 2-R shows the logic truth tables for the MAX328 and MAX329, respectively. This ultra-low-leakage CMOS analog mux is tested by applying and removing +5 V to the control pins, and checking that the corresponding switches open and close. Simple sine waves can be used at the analog inputs, and the op-amp output can be measured on a scope. (View)

Portable instrument measures capacitance values to 2500μF and leakage current with up to 8 V applied. Timer U1 operates as clock providing about 350 negative-going pulses per second to trigger timer U2 and unclamp test capacitor so it charges through switch-selected resistor to half of supply voltage. U2 then resets, discharging capacitor through pin 7. During charge, pin 3 of U2 is high (about 8 V) and duration of high state is directly proportional to capacitance. Resulting rectangular waveform is applied to unity-gain buffer opamp U3 that feeds meter through calibrating trimpot R6. Meter deflection is proportional to average value of rectangular output waveform and is therefore proportional to capacitance. Table gives switch functions. Mode B uses larger clock timing capacitor to permit measuring larger capacitance values, for total of10 ranges Article covers construction,calibration and use.-P. H.

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)

Circuit Notes
This circuit uses a tricolor LED display to indicate acceptable and unacceptable output voltages. One to set the upper voltage limit, the other, the lower voltage limit. When the monitored voltage is above the set maximum, the LED display turns red. Yellow turns on for voltages below the set minimum, and green turns on for voltages between the high and the low settings. The circuit does not need a separate power supply. It is powered by the voltage it monitors.The circuit can be adapted to monitor voltage differences between two power supplies. Should the monitored voltages differ by more than a set value, a visual or an audible alarm would warn the operator about the difference.The circuit can also be modified for remote monitoring and the use of a separate power supply.

Automatic gain control is a very useful feature in a number of audio amplifier circuits:tape recorders,telephone speaker phones,communication systems and PA systems.This circuit consists of a HA-5144 quad op amp and a FET transistor used as a voltage-controlled resistor to implement an AGC circuit with squelch control.The squelch function helps eliminate noise in communications systems when no signal is present and allows remote hands-free operation of tape recorder systems.Amplifier A1 is placed in inverting-gain T configuration in order to provide a fairly wide gain range and a small signal level across the FET. The small signal level and the addition of resistors R5 and R6 help reduce nonlinearities and distortion.Amplifier A2 acts as a negative peak detector to keep track of signal amplitude.Amplifier A3 can be used to amplify this peak signal if the cutoff voltage of the FET is higher than desired.Amplifier A4 acts as a comparator in the squelch control section of the circuit,When the signal level falls below the voltage set by R10,the gate of the FET is pulled low-turning it off completely-and reducing the gain to 2.4.Theoutput A4 can also be used as a control signal in applications,such as a hands-free tape recorder system.

This circuit generates simultaneously, a triangle and a square waveform. It is self starting and has no latch up problems. IC1 is an integrator with a slew rate determined by CT and RT and IC2 is a Schmitt trigger. The output of IC1 ramps up and down be-tween the hysteresis levels of the Schmitt, the output of which drives the integrator.
By making RT variable, it is possible to alter the operating frequency over a 100 to 1 range. Three resistors, one capacitor, and a dual op amp is all that is needed to make a versatile triangle and square wave oscillator with a possible frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 100 kHz. (View)

This circuit was originally developed to perform the mathematical operation of integration in analog computers. As shown by the frequency-response plot of Fig. 10-41B, an integrator is essentially a low-pass filter with a frequency response that decreases at 6 dB per octave. When S1 is in position 1, the amplifier is connected in unity gain, and C1 is discharged, which sets an initial condition of zero volts. With S1 in position 2, the amplifier is connected as an integrator, where the output changes in accordance with a constant times the time integral of the input. (View)
