LOW_POWER_AUDIO_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/2 0:46:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes The amplifier operates from supplies ranging up to 12 volts, and operates（with reduced volume）from supply voltages as low as 1.8 volts without having distortion rise to unacceptable levels.（Its power requirements make it suitable for solar-cell application.）Components external to the integrated circuit, U1, consist of four capacitors and a potentiometer for volume control. Capacitor C3 is for decoupling, low-frequency roll-off, and power-supply ripple rejection. Capacitor C4 is an electrolytic type that couples the audio output to an 8 to 32 ohm speaker that is efficient.   (View)

BULL_HORN

Published:2009/7/2 0:42:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes The input audio signal is fed to pin 3 of U1, an LM386 low-voltage amplifter, via C3 and R1. Potentiometer R1 sets the drive or volume level. U1, which serves as a driver stage, can be set for a gain of from 20 to 200. The output of U1 at pin 5 is fed to U2-a 377 dual two-watt amplifier connected in parallel to produce about four watts of output power-at pins 6 and 9 via C4 and C5. Frequency stability is determined by R2, R4, and C10 on one side, and the corresponding components R6, R5, and C9 on the other side. The outputs of the two amplifiers (at pins 2 and 13) are capacitively coupled to SPKR1 through C6 and C7.   (View)

TROMBONE_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/2 0:42:00 Author:May

Unique arrangement for driving 25-ohm loudspeaker with National LM3909 IC operating from 1.5-V cell permits generation of slide tones resembling those of trombone. Operation is based on use of voltage generated by resonant motion of loudspeaker voice coil as major positive feedback for IC. Loudspeaker is mounted in roughly cubical box having volume of about 64 in, with one end of box arranged to slide in and out like piston. Positioning of piston and operation of pushbutton permit playing reasonable semblance of simple 15 V tune. IC, loudspeaker, and battery are mounted on piston, with 2 1/2-in length of 5/16-in tubing provided to bleed air in and out as piston is moved, without affecting resonant frequency. Frequency of oscillator becomes equal to resonant frequency of enclosure.- Linear Applications, Vol. 2, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, AN-154, p 6.   (View)

AUDIO_POWER_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/2 0:40:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes Output-clamp diodes are mandatory because loudspeakers are inductive loads. Output LR isolation is also used because audio amplifiers are usually expected to handle up to 2 μF load capacitance. Large, supply-bypass capacitors located close to the IC are used so that the rectifted load current in the supply leads does not get back into the amplifier, increasing high-frequency distortion. Single-point ground-ing for all intemal leads plus the signal source and load is recommended to avoid ground loops that can increase distortion.   (View)

SIMULATION_OF_FLANGING

Published:2009/7/2 0:38:00 Author:May

Sound-effect circuit sometimes called phase shifter simulates playing of two tape recorders having same material while varying speed of one by pressing on flange of tape reel. Resulting time delay causes some signals to be summed out of phase and canceled. Effect is that of rotating loudspeaker or of Doppler characteristic. Uses two LM348 quad opamps, two AM9709CN quad JFET devices, and one LM741 opamp. Phase-shift stages are spaced one octave apart from 160 to 3200 Hz in center of audio spectrum, with each stage providing 90' shift at its frequency. JFETs control phase shifters. Gate voltage of JFETs is adjusted from 5 V to 8 V either manually with foot-operated rheostat or automatically by LM741 triangle-wave generator whose rate is adjustable from 0.05 Hz to 5 Hz.- Audio Hand-book, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1977, p 5-10-5-11.   (View)

25_WATT_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/2 0:36:00 Author:May

Transistors are used for current sources.Base drive for these transistors is de-rived from the main power supply VA, so that their collector current is proportional to the rail voltage. This feature holds the voltage on the diff-amp collectors close to VA/2.The sensitivity of IQ to VA is about 3.4 mA/volt when Vg is held constant; the sensitivity of IQ to VB is -15 mA/volt when VA is held constant. In a practical amplifier with a non-regulated supply, variations in power output will cause fluctuations in VA, but will not affect Vg; therefore, having IQ increase slightly with power output will tend to compensate for the 3.4 mA/volt IQVA sensitivity. In the case of line voltage variations, since VA is about five times Vg, the sensitivities tend to cancel, leaving a net sensitivity of about 2 mA/volt.   (View)

EDGE_TRIGGERED_MONO

Published:2009/7/2 0:36:00 Author:May

Output pulse width is precisely determined by external clock frequency and countdown factor N of 74C193 binary counter (t = N/f). Pulse is generated on rising edge of input, with output remaining high until count N is reached by binary counter. Counter resets and output returns instantly to zero if input pulse goes to zero before count of N. Value of N depends on which two counter outputs are connected to two-input NAND gate. With 74C193, 11 values of N between 1 and 16 are possible; with CD4013, values of N can range from t to 24,576.-R. L.

LM3900_AS_MONO

Published:2009/7/2 0:35:00 Author:May

R4 holds output high normally, so C1 is charged almost to V+ level through D1. Negative input trigger forces output of current-differencing amplifier low, and C1 discharges through R1. When decreasing current through R2 approaches current in R3 (when voltage across C1 is about one-third of V+), output switches to high and returns circuit to standby state. Pulse width, equal to 1.1R1C1, can be programmed easily by using pot or some form of manual or electronic switching for R1 .-W. G. Jung, IC Op-Amp Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1974, p 510-512.   (View)

PULSE_TRIGGERED_MONO

Published:2009/7/2 0:33:00 Author:May

Combination of two ICs generates pulse having width precisely determined by external clock frequency and countdown factor N of 74C193 binary counter; time t in seconds is equal to N divided by frequency in hertz. With 74C193, 11 values of N are possible (1-6, 8-10, 12, and 16). With CD4013 14-stage counter, values of N can range from 1 to 24,576. Input pulse must be shorter than out-put pulse. Value of N depends on which two counter outputs are connected to two-input NAND gate.-R. L. Anderson, Digital One-Shot Produces Long, Accurate Pulses, EDN Magazine, March 5, 1978, p 127.   (View)
