As shown, three ICs are used to produce the sounds. IC1 is a 555 timer that generates clock pulses. It is configured as an astable multivibrator. The frequency of the clock pulses is set by trim-mer potentiometer Pl. These clock pulses are coupled to the input of IC3 (a 4017 CMOS Johnson counter) on its clock input pin 14. Each clock pulse causes IC3 to shift a high to each of its output pins in sequence. A trimmer resistor, which can be adjusted to set a different frequency for each note, is connected to each of 103's output pins. One side of each of the trimmers is connected to pin 5 (the control voltage pin) of IC2.IC2, another 555 timer IC, creates the tone; the overall pitch of the tone can be varied by P2. As the output sequences from the 4017, that tone, which is changed in frequency by each output shift is applied to a srrtall speaker from pin 3 of IC2. An LED, which flashes with each clock pulse, is con-nected to pin 3 of IC1. Switch S2 is used to vary the sound between flowing and distinct notes. (View)

By using two 555 timers this circuit produces a low frequency tone that rises to a high frequency tone in a little over 1 second. Then the sound stops for about 0.3 seconds, thereafter the cycle re-peats. To produce the alarm sound of the Star Trek spaceship. (View)

A positive pulse input to RI causes the active filter UI-a to ring. If the gain is set too high (R6), the circuit will oscillate. R6 controls the positive feedback and the Q of the circuit. C1 and C2 can be changed to adjust the tone frequency. (View)

This circuit will gqnerate an ear-splitting 110 dB from 9 V. The setup uses a single 74C14 (CD40106B) CMOS hex inverting Schmitt-trigger IC, which must be used with a piezoelectric device with a feedback terminal. The feedback terminal is attached to a central region on the piezoelectric wafer. When the beeper is driven at resonance, the feedback signal peaks.One inverter of the 74C14 is wired as an astable oscillator. The frequency is chosen to be 5 times lower than the 3.2 kHz resonant frequency of the piezoelectric device. Feedback from the third pin of the beeper reinforces the correct drive frequency to ensure maximum sound output.Four other inverter sections of the IC are wired to form two separate drivers. The output of one section is cross-wired to the input of the second section. The differential drive signal that results produces about 18-V p-p when measured across the beeper. The last inverter section is wired as a second astable oscillator with a frequency of about 2 Hz. It gates the main oscillator on and off through a diode. For a continuous tone, the modulation circuit can be deleted. (View)

The percentage-deviation function is of practical value for many applications in measurement, testing, and control. For example, the output of this circuit might be applied to a pair of biased comparators to stimulate particular actions or displays, depending on whether the gain of a circuit under test were within limits, or deviating by a preset amount in either direction.The indicated scale factor, 1%/V, is convenient. However, other sensitivities, from 10%/V to 0.1%/V, as required by the application, can be obtained by altering the feedback attenuation ratio, from 1 to 1/100. Gain or attenuation is easily applied to the A signal externally for calibration to the normalized form. (View)

A microphone amplifier is shown. The refer-ence, with a 500-kHz unity-gain bandwidth, is used as a preamplifier with a gain of 100. Its out-put is fed through a gain-control potentiometer to the op amp, which is connected for a gain of 10. The combination gives a 60-dB gain with a 10-kHz bandwidth, unloaded, and 5 kHz loaded at 500Ω. Input impedance is 10 kΩ.Potentially, using the reference as a preampli-fier in this fashion can cause excess noise. How-ever, because the reference voltage is low, the noise contribution, which adds root-mean-square, is likewise low. The input noise voltage in this con-nection is 440-500 nV Hz, about equal to that of the op amp. (View)

This figure shows an op amp used as an ac amplifier. It is unusual in that dc bootstrapping is used to obtain high input resistance without requiring high-value resistors. In theory, this increases the output offset because the op amp offset voltage is multiplied by the resistance boost.But when conventional resistor values are used, it is practical to include R5 to eliminate bias-current error. This gives less output offset than if a single, large resistor were used. C1 is included to reduce noise. (View)

Using digital techniques, this circuit accomplishes the frequency-inversion algorithm via digiti-zation of the audio, inversion of the sign of every alternate sample, and D/A conversion of the resul-tant data. The result is an inverted frequency spectrum. Because the circuit has two channels, this system can be used in a full duplex two-way telephone scrambler.A complete kit ofparts is available from North Country Radio, PO.

This circuit is a tuned amplifier circuit, tuned to the resonant frequency of the LC transconduc-tance network: The impedance of the transconductance network is a minimum at the resonant frequency, providing maximum amplifier gain at that frequency. The Q of the amplifier is a function of the parasitic components associated with the LO network. The graph is the frequency response of the circuit, with Lt=2.93 μH and Ct=9.9 pF. (View)
