Everytime a pulse is applied to the convert command input, Q1 resets the 1000 pF capacitor to.0 V. This resetting action takes 200 ns of the falling edge of the convert command pulse, the capacitor begins to charge linearly. In precisely 10 microseconds, it charges to 2.5 V. The 10 microseconds ramp is applied to the LT1016's positive input. The LT1016 compares the ramp to Ex, the unknown, at its negative input. For a 0 V - 2.5 V range, Ex is applied to the 2.5 k ohm resistor. From a 0 V - 10 V range, the 2.5 k ohm resistor is grounded and Ex is applied to the 7.5 k ohm resistor. Output of the LT1016 is a pulse whose width is directly dependent on the value of Ex. This pulse width is used to gate a 100 MHz clock. The 100 MHz clock pulse bursts that appear at the output are proportional to Ex. For a 0 V - 10 V input, 1024 pulses appear at fullscale, 512 at 5.00 V, etc. (View)

Minimizes effects of shortduration high-amplitude low-repetition-rate noise such as auto ignition noise, power-line arcing, and make-or-break switching. Developed for use in Collins ARR-41 receiver, where it is inserted between plate of second mixer and 500-kHz first IF amplifier. Q1 and its doubletuned drain circuit form low-gain bandpass amplifier that removes remaining local oscillator signal and sets bandwidth at about 50 kHz. Signal is then split into two channels. Q2 in main channel drives 50-ohm low-pass delay network with 700-kHz cutoff, feeding double-balanced mixer DBM operated as current-controlled attenuator. In other channel, noise amplifier U2 drives pulse detector Q3 and AGC detector CR1. Opamp U1 amplifies AGC and controls gain of U2. R4 is threshold adjustment. Gates U3B and U3C form mono used with gates of U3 to develop proper phase and current amplitude for operating blanking gate.-W. Stewart, Noise Blanker Design. Ham Radio. Nov. 1977. p 26-29. (View)

Circuit Notes
This PWM control circuit provides the control pulse to the DMOS Power Switch in the flyback circuit. The output of the PWM is a pulse whose width is proportional to the input control voltage and whose repetition rate is determined by an external clock signal. To provide the control input to the PWM and to prevent the output voltage from soaring or sagging as the load changes the error amplifier and reference voltage complete the design. They act as the feedback loop in this control circuit much like that of a servo control system. (View)

Circuit Notes
The design delivers a regulated 400-V, 60-W output. The TL494 switching regulator governs the opdrating frequency and regulates output voltage. R1 and C1 determine switching frequency, which is approximately 0.5RC-100 kHz for the values shown. The TL494 directly drives the FET's gates with a voltage-controlled, pulse-width-modulated signal. After fullwave rectification, the output waveform is filtered by a chokeinput arrangement. The 1 μH, 75 μF filter accomplishes the job nicely at 100 kHz. A feedback scheme using R4, R5 and R6 provides for outputvoltage regulation adjustment, with loop compensation handled by C2. Diodes D1 and D2 provide isolation and steering for the 33-V zener transient clamp, D3. Output regulation is typically 1.250/0 from noload to the full 60-W design rating. Regulation is essentially determined by the TL494. Output noise and ripple consists mainly of positive and negative 0.8-V spikes occurring when the output stage switches. (View)

The ICL7134B-based circuit is for a bipolar-input high-speed A/D converter, using two AM25L03s to form a 14-bit successive approximation register. The comparator is a two-stage circuit with an HA2605 front-end amplifier, used to reduce settling time problerns at the summing node (see A020). Careful offset-nulling of this amplifier is needed, and if wide temperature range operation is desired, an auto-null circuit using an ICL7650 is probably advisable (see A053). The clock, using two Schmitt trigger TTL gates, runs at a slower rate for the first 8 bits, where settling-time is most critical than for the last 6 bits. The short-cycle line is shown tied to the 15th bit; if fewer bits are required, it can be moved up accordingly. The circuit will free-run if the HOLD/RUN input is held low, but will stop after completing a conversion if the pin is high at that time. A lowgoing pulse will restart it. The STATUS output indicates when the device is operating, and the falling edge indicates the availability of new data. A unipolar version can be constructed by typing the MSB (D13) on an ICL7134U to pin 14 on the first AM25L03, deleting the reference inversion amplifier A4, and tying VRFM to VRFL. (View)

Circuit Notes
A tapped transformer drives a diode bridge (D1-D4) and two 2500 pF filter capacitors (C1 and C2), that provide a noload voltage of 37 or 47 volts, depending upon the position of switch 52a. The unregulated dc is then fed to a pre-regulator stage composed of Q1 and D5. Those components protect IC1(the 723)from an over-voltage condition; the 723 can't handle more than 40 volts. The LED (LEDl) and its 2.2 k current-limiting resistor(R1)provide on/off indication. The current through the LED varies slightly according to the transformer tap selected, but that's of no real consequence. The series-pass transistor in IC1 drives voltage-follower Q2, providing current amplification. The transistor can handle lots of power. It has a maximum collector current of 15 amps and a maximum VCE of 70V, both of which are more than adequate for our supply. (View)
