Simple circuit operating from single 5-V supply provides TTL output levels with reliable starting over wide frequency range. When capacitors are equal, period of oscillation is equal to 5×103C s. By changing ratio of C1 to C2, duty cycle can be made as low as 20%.-D. B. Arnett, One-Chip TTL Oscillator Requires One 5V Supply, EDN Magazine, Jan. 5, 1978, p 96. (View)

Two sections of 7400 quad NAND gate are connected as monostable MVBR having one stable state and one unstable state. Incoming pulse at pin 13 changes state of gate IC1. Since output of this gate goes to input of other gate, that also changes state. After interval determined by values of C1 and R1, gates automatically return to original states. LED flashes when input pulse is applied, for duration also determined by R1 or C1. If C1 is increased to 470μF, LED will stay on for over 1 s before fading out gradually as capacitor discharges.-F.

Addition of D1 and R4 to astable MVBR connection of 741 or equivalent opamp results in two different charging rates for C1, depending on whether opamp is in positive or negative saturation. Positive and negative peaks of output pulse then have different widths.-R. Melen and H. Garland, Understanding IC Operational Amplifiers, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 2nd Ed., 1978, p 122-123.

Positive feedback is applied to noninverting input terminal of oparnp through voltage divider R1-R2 to make amplifier switch regeneratively and repetitively between saturated states. Charging time of C controls duration of each state, to give desired free-running multivibrator providing rectangular (pin 6), trapezoidal (pin 3), and sawtooth (pin 2) sym-metrical waveforms. Article gives design equations and waveforms. For nonsymmetrical waveforms, use alternative circuit in place of R; here, diodes switch two different timing resistors into circuit alternately.-G. B.

Output of first timer section of Exar XR-2556 dual timer is capacitively coupled to trigger pin of second timer section. When input trigger is applied, output 1 goes high for duration T1 = 1.1R1C1, then goes low and triggers timer 2 through CC. Output at pin 13 then goes high for duration T2 = 1.1R2C2 to give performance of delayed mono MVBR. Supply voltage is 4.5-16 V. Choose R, to keep timer output below 200 mA for supply voltage used.- Timer Data Book, Exar Integrated Systems, Sunnyvale, CA, 1978, p 23-30. (View)

DC input voltage controls width of rectangular output pulse of opamp operating as free-running multivibrator, by injecting additional current into phase-inverting input of opamp. This current serves to increase one timing period and decrease the other. Circuit also provides similarly controllable sawtooth output (at pin 2). Output circuit uses diode bridge and zener for symmetrically clamping output voltage limits of amplifier when this feature is required.-G. B.

Frequency of square-wave output depends on values used for external capacitor and resistors. Very low frequencies can be obtained by using large values for both.

This circuit responds to RF signals from below the standard broadcast band to well over 500 MHz, and provides a visual and audible indication when a signal is received.The circuit is designed to receive low-powered signals as well as strong sources of energy by adjusting the bias on the pick-up diode, D1, with R2. A very sensitive setting can be obtained by carefully adjusting R2 until the LED just begins to light and a faint sound is produced by the Piezo sounder. (View)

Sequential strobing of individual LED displays, at rate fast enough to eliminate flicker (about 10% duty cycle), cuts power requirements of LEDs and eliminates need for power-wasting resistors in series with digit segments. Circuit uses 7492 binary counter connected to divide by 10, continuously clocked by 1000-Hz signal from external counter time base. Each of the 10 counter states is decoded by 7442 decoder for use in turning on PNP switch transistor connected in series with anode of each 7-segment LED digit. Digits are thus turned on fol 10'/0 of time at 100-Hz rate.-B. Hart, Current-Saver Counter Display, 73 Magazine, June 1977, p 174-176. (View)
