Built around an LM339 quad comparator, this circuit provides manual control of the output of a resistive heater or other load with a long time constant. The circuit's design uses minimal parts, thus it's inexpensive, and generates very low RFI.Comparators a,b, and c form a low-frequency pulse-width modulator. Sections a and b form a sawtooth oscillator (of approximately 0.25 Hz), with capacitor C1 being charged through RI and dis-charged through section a's open collector output. R2 and R3 set the upper voltage limit for the saw-tooth wave. The hysteresis means that C1 is discharged to nearly 0V, creating a voltage swing that is identical to the adjustment range of R3.Comparator c, in conjunction with potentiometer R3, converts the sawtooth wave form to a vari-able duty-cycle drive for the silicon-controlled rectifier.Increasing voltage at R3's wiper means increasing the on time. Section d holds the SCR gate low if the line voltage is above approximately 3.5 V, preventing turn on at mid-cycle and ensuring low RFI.The oscillator frequency is roughly determined by 1/0.7R1C1 Resistance R1 must be greater than 4R2 or the oscillator will lock up. ReducingR1 will increase the lower voltage limit of the sawtooth; in-creasing it might cause lock-up. (View)

The very simple circuit uses only two CD4001 packages, i.e., eight NOR gates and operates in the following way: Pulse streams are fed to an RS flip flop generating an output waveform which has a small or large duty cycle depending on the direction of rotation. The same input pulses are also fed to a NOR gate, which adds the two pulse trains.
The rising edges of this waveform are used to produce short positive pulses from the circuit con-sisting of R1, C1, D3, and a NOR gate used as an inverter. This is used to sample the outputs of the flip flop to detect the direction of rotation. The output, whose duty cycle is large, forces the sampling NOR gate to generate a pulse train which sets (or resets) the second RS flip-flop continuously giv-ing a permanent indication of the direction of rotation.

At the instant that power is applied to the 555 astable, timing capacitor C1 is initially discharged, causing the output of the chip output at pin 3 to be high. Once C1 has charged to about 2/3 of the supply voltage, its output goes low, and the discharge transistor turns on, draining the charge on C1. (View)

The telephone line is connected to the hold components through bridge rectifier BR1 so that the input is not polarity sensitive. If you have touch-tone telephone service, you can now put a call on hold from any phone in your house by plugging this simple device into any telephone jack. The uni-versal hold circuit works with any phone that has a key pad with a # key. To put a call on hold, press the # key and hang the phone up. A timer extends the #-key function while you hang up phones that have a keypad built into the handset. (View)
