Audio bandpass filter, designed for connection between loudspeaker jack of receiver and external loudspeaker or phone, has half-power bandwidth of about 70 Hz but rolls off gradually without causing ringing, Series LC combination, connected in hot line to loudspeaker,looks like 5-ohm re sistance at resonance, cutting signal amplitude about in half. At Iower frequencies filter looks like large capacitive reactance and at higher frequencies it resembles large inductive reactance, both causing high attenuation. Filter thus discriminates against all except switch-selected resonant frequency, either 760 or 1070 Hz.Choose best frequency for particular receiving situation by trial.-F. Noble, A Passive CW Filter to improve Selectivity, QST, Nov. 1977, p 34-35. (View)

Can be used to minimize hum pick up from AC line. Circuit tunes from 40 to 120 Hz with single pot. Artide gives design equations. With unmeasured ceramic disk capacitors and 5% resistors, notch depth at 60 Hz was 44.5 dB. By selecting capacitors with equal values and replacing 333K with 500K trimpot, careful adiustment increases notch depth to 57 dB.-C. Hall, Tunable RC Notch Filter, Ham Fladio, Sept. 1975, p 16-20.

Figure A shows the circuit of a direct-trigger timing light. The trigger voltage is taken from the car's ignition circuit by a direct connection to a spark plug. A circuit using an inductive pickup is shown in Fig. B. A trigger transformer is used to develop the high-voltage pulse for triggering. The triggering circuit consists of T1, C1, SCR1, inductive pickup coil T2, and the waveshaping components in the SCR's gate circuit.When the spark plug fires, it induces a pulse in pickup coil T2 that triggers the SCR gate. The SCR fires and discharges C2 through the primary of T1. The secondary of T1 feeds a high-voltage pulse to the trigger electrode of the flash tube. That pulse causes the gas-usually neon or xenon-to ionize. The ionized gas provides a low-resistance path for Ct to discharge, thereby creating a brilliant flash of light.Resistor R1 limits current from the supply as the tube fires. When C1 is fully discharged the strobe tube cuts off and returns to its high-resistance state. The current through R2 is not enough to sustain conduction through SCR1, so it cuts off and remains off until it is re-triggered by a gate pulse. (View)

This circuit keeps an automobile's headlights on temporarily. It also will turn the lights off, even if you forget to flip the light switch. The circuit's shut-off delay is actuated only after both the ignition and light switches have been on, and only if the ignition switch is tumed off first. If the light switch is tumed off ftrst, no delay results. Parking and brake-light operation is not affected. The maximum time out can be up to 3 minutes in part 1 and hours with the circuit in part 2, depending on the relay selected and the value of R2. A switch S2 can be used to permit selection of either a short or long delay.Momentary switch S3 can restart circuit timing before the time-out is completed. A bypass switch, S1 removes the delay action. (View)

Circuit NotesThe current tracer helps locate a defective IC that is loading down the power supply. The tracer amplifies the small voltage drop caused by current flow along a fraction of an inch of PC wiring and drives an ordinary microammeter. Needle-point test probes are used to contact the edge of a PC trace and to follow the current to determine which branch the current takes. One-half of a dual 741 op amp forms a dc amplifter with ac feedback to prevent oscillations and hum-pickup problems. It drives a 50-to-100 μA me-ter. The other op amp provides a center tap for the 9 V battery supply and zero adjustment with R4. Two diodes protect the meter. Resistor R1 eliminates the necessity for shorting the probes when the meter is zeroed. The value of 1 ohm is large when compared with the resistance of the meter leads plus the bridged portion of PC wiring. (View)

The circuit warns car drivers when the air temperature close to the ground approaches 0℃, thereby indicating possible formation of ice on the road surface. Op amp A1 is wired as a voltage level sensor. Op amp A2 is wired as an astable multivibrator which, by means of current buffer Tr1, flashes a filament lamp at about 1 Hz. As air temperature falls, a point is reached when the voltage at pin 2 just rises above the volt-age at pin 1. The output of A1 is immediately driven into positive saturation, since it is operated open loop. This positive output voltage powers A2 through its V + connection on pin 9, starting the oscillator. The thermistor is a glass bead type with a resistance of about 20 MΩ at 20℃. VR1 is adjusted so that the lamp starts flashing when the air temperature is 1 to 2℃. (View)
