Connection shown for 555 timer accepts positive trigger pulses and delivers negative output pulses. Duty cycies above 99% are possible without jitter. Heavy loads can be driven from pin 7 without loss of accuracy, but excessive loading of pin 3 can affect timing accuracy. Width of output pulse is 1 ms for values of R1 and C1 shown. Trigger must be held, below two-thirds of supply voltage for standby I and raised above two-thirds of supply momentarily (not longer than pulse width) for triggering.-W. G. Jung, IC Timer Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, p 89. (View)

First section of Exar XR-2556 dual timer operates as astable MVBR whose frequency is equal to 1.44/(RA + 2RB)C1, with output used to trigger timer 2 connected in monostable mode. Time delay T2 of timer 2 is made less than period of timer 1 waveform, so both timers have same frequency. Duty cycle is determined by timing cycle of timer 2, adjustable from 1% to 99% with R2. Supply voltage is 4.5-16 V.- Timer Data Book, Exar Integrated Systems, Sunnyvale, CA, 1978, p 23-30. (View)

Opamp-based astable MVSR generates square waves over extremely wide range, with suitable changes in circuit values. RCA 3130 opamp has CMOS output stage for driving either 5-V TTL or 10-15 V CMOS logic stages directly. Values are for 100 Hz. R1 and C1 can be readily scaled for different ranges. To control symmetry, replace Rt with two resistors in series with reverse-connected diodes as at lower right.-W. Jung, An IC Op Amp Update, Ham Radio, March 1978, p 62-69. (View)

capacitor circuit operates at very low duty cycles, in range of 10% to 1%. Battery drain is low because off current is about 1 μA for 50-mA on current. R4 and C determine on time, while R1 and C set off time. Circuit pulses about twice per second, which is suitable for animal temperature and heart-rate studies. Can be used with implanted transmitters operating from single mercury button cell for more than one year with suitable resistor values.-C.

Useful for long-distance bicycling, to indicate when rider drops below predetermined minimum speed. Speed sensor is reed switch attached to frame and tripped once per revolution by permanent magnet mounted on wheel. Rate at which switch closes determines level of DC voltage produced by circuit. When voltage drops below preset level determined by 100K pot, output transistor comei on and energizes relay controlling bicycle hom or other signaling device. Supply can by 9-V transistor battery. Transistor reading should be high enough to handle relay used.-J. Sandler, 9 Projects under $9, Modem Electronics, Sept, 1978, p 35-39. (View)

Although 9602 multivibrator IC can be triggered normally either on leading or falling edge of square wave, but not on both, addition of two resistors and one capacitor provides double-edge triggering. When input goes low, negative-going pulse through C1 triggers 9602 and makes it deliver one output pulse. When input goes high again, high-going pulse is delivered directly to pin 12 of 9602, triggering it again so it produces an other pulse.-J. P.

Simple circuit using four LEDs and one inverter (which may be a transistor or spare gate) displays all four possible states on two binary tines. When levels of lines X and Y are the same, A and B will be off.Inverter then places C and D at different levels so one LED (C or D) will be on, Reverse situation occurs when X and Y are at different levels.-D.Straker, Binary State Indicator, Wireless World, Feb. 1977, p 44.
