Timer A produces a safeguard delay, allowing the driver to disarm the alarm and eliminating a vulnerable outside control switch. The SCR prevents timer A from triggering timer B, unless timer B is triggered by strategically-located sensor switches. (View)

The oscillator delivers an output of high spectral purity without any substantial sacrifice of the usual stability of a crystal oscillator. The crystal in addition to determining the oscillator's frequency, is used also as a low-pass filter for the unwanted harmonics and as a bandpass filter for the sideband noise. The noise bandwidth is limited to less than 100 Hz. All higher harmonics are substantially suppressed-60 dB down for the third harmonic of the 4-MHz fundamental oscillator frequency. (View)

Resistors R1 and R2 temperature-stabilize the NAND gates; they also ensure that the gates are in a linear region for starting. Capacitor C1 is a dc block; it must have less than1/10 ohm impedance at the operating frequency. The crystal runs in a series-resonant mode. Its series resistance must be low; AT-cut crystals for the 1-to 10-MHz range work well. The output waveshape has nearly a 50% duty cycle, with chip-limited rise times. The circuit starts well from 0°to 70℃. (View)

Use of 60-Hz power frequency as time base simplifies design while still giving Iong-term accuracy comparable to that of crystal time base. Four-digit display uses Hewlett-Packard 5082-7340 displays requiring only simple four-Iine BCD input. National MM5312N IC divides Iine frequency down to one pulse per minute and advances its internal storage register at same rate. Output of register is in binary form at pins 1, 2, 3, and 24, synchronized with digit-enable outputs at pins 18, 19, 20, and 21. Binary data is thus applied to all four displays in parallel, with enable lines controlling data feed. SN7404N inverter converts binary output data to TTL level required by displays.Power supply provides +5 V and -12 V for ICs and 60-Hz reference for clock check. CR5 is Radio Shack 276-561, CR6 is 276-563, and CR1-4 are 276-1146.-K. Powell, 24-Hour Clock with Digital Readout and Line-Frequency Time Base, Ham Radio, March 1977, p 44-48

The positive and negative peak amplitude is controllable to an accuracy of about ±0.01 V by a dc input. Also, the output frequency and symmetry are easily adjustable. The oscillator consists of an integrator and two comparators-one comparator sets the positive peak and the other the negative peak of the triangle wave. If R1 is replaced by a potentiometer, the frequency can be varied over at least a 10 to 1 range without affecting amplitude. Symmetry is also adjustable by connecting a 50 kΩ resistor from the inverting input of the LM118 to the arm of the 1 kΩ potentiometer. The ends of the potentiometer are connected across the supplies. Current for the resistor either adds or subtracts from the current through R1,changing the ramp time. (View)

The circuit has both square-wave and triangle-wave output. The left section is similar in function to a comparator circuit that uses positive feedback for hysteresis. The inverting input is biased at one-half the VCC voltage by resistors R4 and R5. The output is fed back to the non-inverting input of the first stage to control the frequency. The amplitude of the square wave is the output swing of the first stage, which is 8 V peak-to-peak.The second stage is basically an op amp integrator. The resistor R3 is the input element and capacitor C1 is the feedback element. The ratio RI/R2 sets the amplitude of the triangle wave, as referenced to the square-wave output. For both waveforms, the frequency of oscillation can be determined by the equationThe output frequency is approximately 50 Hz with the given components. (View)

This general purpose signal source serves very well in signal-tracing applications.The output level is variable to more than 1 Vrms into a 50 Ω load. Almost any crystal in the 1 to 15 MHz range can be used. Q1 forms a Colpitts oscillator with the output taken from the emitter. A capacitive voltage divider (across the 2.2 K emitter resistor) reduces the voltage applied to the buffer amplifier, Q2. The buffer and emitter follower, provides the low input impedance necessary to drive 50 Ω loads.
