This circuit will produce an output when the sound exceeds a preset level. The LM3915 is a log-output bar graph driver. Use the transistor driver shown for higher current loads. To drive heavy-current loads with an LM3915 output, you must add a transistor, as shown in B. (View)

At the heart of the whistle switch are a pair of tone detectors, each of which is built around an LM567 tone decoder, which are supported by a ntinimum of additional components. This whistle switch is designed to respond to only two or more occur-rences of a specific tone, or sequence of tones, within a specified period to prevent false triggering. Depending on the relay used, various ac loads can be controlled. Microphone MIC1 picks up the sound and U2 amplifies the signal and feeds it to tone decoders U3 and U4. These devices trigger U5-a and U5-b and the logic circuits that drive relay K1. (View)

In this circuit, audio fed to the control channel is amplified and rectified by D1 and D2. This dc level activates LED D3 via Q2. The light from D3 causes R9, a light-dependent resistor to decrease resistance. As R11 (audio gain) is set higher, more audio is present at the output of Q1. Audio fed into J2 is shunted to ground via R9 and less of this audio appears at J3. Therefore, audio at J1 controls the audio level fed to J3 from J2 and produces a fade effect. (View)

The microphone input, MIC1, is fed through C3 and R4 to inverting amplifier U2-a; the gain of U2-a is controlled by potentiometer R5. The output of U2-a is fed through C4 to the remaining op-arnps (U2-b, U2-c, U2-d), which are all configured as band-pass filters. Each filter is tuned to pass a different range of frequencies by its resistor/capacitor combination. With the values shown, U2-b, U2-c, and U2-d have center frequencies of roughly 100, 1000 and 1500 Hz, respectively.Resistors R6, R9, R12 control the bandwidth and gain of their respective filter circuits, and can range in value from 10 to 15 kΩ. The output of U2-b is capacitively coupled via C11 to the input of U3, with R15 serving as the load resistor for U2-b. That resistor also keeps U3's outputs from float-ing in the absence of a signal. Connected as shown, U3 uses its own internal voltage reference to make a full-scale display of 1.2 V.Each ofthe nlne outputs of U3(output 1 IS not used) sinks four, series-connected (red) LEDs. Op amps U2-c and U2-d qro similarly connected to U4 and U5,respectively, driving green and yellow LED strings,Resistors R18,R19,and R20 control the brightness of their corresponding LED arrays,and they must be adjusted accordingly;different colors of LEDs usually vary in brightness.A lowervalue of resistance will make the LEDs glow brighter.Power for the circuit is supplied by a 500 mA,12-15-Vdc wall-pack transformer,via J1 The out-put ofthe transformer is filtered by 01 arid is regulated by U1;regulation is necessary to keep power-line ripple from affecting the display. The Supply pins of U2 through TTKLJt are bypassed by capacitors014 through C17 to further ensure stability. An on/off switch was deemed unnecessary because thepower Supply should be unplugged when the unit is not in use. (View)

Right- and left-channel signals pass through 1 C4-a and -b buffer amps into active crossover IC5; low frequencies are sent to the ICG-c mixer, and middle and high frequencies are sent to the analog delay lines of 1C1 and 102. That output passes through 1C6-a and -d to filter high-frequency sample steps. IC6-b signals are remixed with low frequencies by ICG-c and are sent to final out via IC4-c and -d buffers.One channel (R) is a variable-delay circuit, using an analog bucket-brigade device and a variable clock frequency. This is compared in amplitude and phase to the L channel (fixed delay). The local can therefore be nulled out via R36. (View)

A TTL counter, an 8-channel analog multiplexer, and a fourth-order low-pass filter can generate 10- to 25-kHz sine waves with a THD better than -80 dB. The circuit cascades the two second-order, continuous-time Sallen-Key filters within IC3 to implement the fourth-order low-pass filter.To operate the circuit, choose the filter's cutoff frequency,fC, by tying IC3's D0 through D6 inputs to 5 V or ground. The cutoff frequency can be at 128 possible levels between 1 and 25 kHz, depending on those seven digital input levels. Because the circuit ties D0 through D6 to ground, fC equals 1 kHz. The 100-kΩ potentiometer adjusts the output level between VDD - 1.5 V and VSS + 1.5 V. (View)

In this circuit, a square wave is filtered by a high-order low-pass filter so that a -3-dB frequency will eliminate most harmonics of the waveform. As a result, the filter outputs a fundamental sine wave. This method is applied to generate a sine wave by using a switched-capacitor filter (MAX292) (see the figure). This circuit offers wide frequency range (0.1 Hz to 25 kHz), low distortion, and con-stant output amplitude throughout the whole frequency range. (View)
