Circuit Notes
This simple circuit will flash a 6 volt lamp at a rate determined by the size ofcapacitor C1.It is most economical on power as it only draws current when the lamp is on. When the lamp is off, both transistors are biased off. (View)

Circuit Notes
This flasher only comes on at night. It furnishes a bright nighttime illumination, and shuts itself off automatically as soon as the sun comes up. The photocell must be mounted on top of the unit in such a way as to detect the greatest amount of available light. (View)

Usesonly three Precision Monolithics ICs operating from -5V and +23 V supplies to convert 8-bit binary digital input to process current in range of 4-20 mA. Fixed current of 0.5 mA is added to DAC output current varying between 0 and 2 mA, with resulting total current multiplied by factor of 8 to give up to 20 mA through 500-ohm load,—D Soderquist, 3 IC 8 Bit Binary Digital to Process Current Converter with 4-20 mA Output, Precision Monolithics, Santa Clara, CA, 1977, AN-21.

Circuit NotesInverters ICl-a and ICl-b form a multivi-brator and IC1-c is a buffer. Inverter IC1-d is connected so that its output is opposite that of ICl-c; when pin 6 is high, then pin 8 is low and vice versa. Because pins 6 and 8 are constantly changing state, first one LED and then the other is on since they are connected in reverse.The light seems to jump back and forth be-tween the LED's. The 470-ohm resistor limits LED current. Depending upon the supply vol-tage used, the value of the resistor may have to be changed to obtain maximum light output. To change the switching rate, change the value of the capacitor. (View)

This circuit is an improved version of the Fig. 7-10 circuit. With the Fig. 7-11 circuit, a portion of the input is fed to the noninverting input of A1. The RC network at this input looks like the ceramic-resonantor impedance when it is off null, As a result, A1 sees similar signals for out-of-band inputs. The high-frequency roll-off of Fig. 7-11 is smooth and about 20 dB deeper than the Fig. 7-10 filter at 475 kHz. The low-frequency side of resonance has similar characteristics at 375 kHz and below.

This circuit is a highly selective bandpass filter that uses a resonant ceramic element and a single amplifier. The ceramic element looks like a high impedance off the resonant frequency (400 kHz, in this case). At resonance, the ceramic element has a low impedance, and A1 responds as an inverter with gain. As shown, the ceramic element has stray or parasitic capacitance that causes a slight rise in output at frequencies above 425 kHz. Typically, the A1 output is down about 20 dB at 300 kHz and 40 dB at 425 kHz. The parasitic capacitance can be minimized with a differential network (Fig. 7-11).
