A MOSFET is used as a wideband buffer amplifier. T1 is wound on a toroid of approximately 1/2 diameter, with material suitable for frequency (usually 1- to 20-MHz range). The turns ratio should be about 4:1 depending on load imped-ance. Typically, at 4 MHz, there are 18 turns on the primary, 4 turns on the secondary, and the stage gain is about 14-dB voltage (ZL = 50 Ω). (View)

A triac can be used as a lirte-operated ac power switch that can directly control lamps, heaters, or motors. A brief and small current pulse into the gate turns the triac on; it remains on until the main current reverses. (View)

You can turn any ordinary household bulb into one that shimmers or blinks. This circuit works on any incandescent light up to 200 W, and runs on standard 120 Vac. The circuit uses an SCR to cause an ordinary lamp to shimmer. Note that one side of the lamp is connected directly to 120 Vac, and the other side of the lamp goes to the cathode of the SCR. As ac voltage is brought into the circuit through the line cord, it is full-wave rectified by diodes Dl and D2. That changes the ac to dc, and a portion of that dc voltage is applied to capacitor C1 through R2. Diode D3 blocks the (+) dc voltage so that only the voltage from the path of RI and D3 is clear. That forms an oscillator, which has a frequency de-termined by the setting of potentiometer PI (because the other components have fixed values).Remember to use extreme caution when using a device that connects to the ac line. Never use it outside or near water and always mount the entire kit inside a wooden or plastic (insulated) box to prevent any contact with the ac voltage. (View)

Integrated circuit UI (a 555 oscillator/timer) is wired as a conventional pulse generator. The fre-quency of the pulse generator is controlled by potentiometer R11. Resistor R2 puts a reasonable limit on the highest speed attainable.The output of the pulse generator is fed to the common clock input of U2, a 74C175 quad D-type flip-flop. Each flip-flop is configured so that its Q output is coupled to the D input of the subsequent flip-flop.Information on the D input of each flip-flop is transferred to the Q (and Q) outputs on the lead-ing edge of each clock pulse. Switch 52 allows you to invert the information on the D input of the first flip-flop at any time during the cycle. This allows you to create a number of different sequences, which are determined by the state of the CQ output at the time of the switching.Some of the possible sequences are:· 1 through 4 on, 1 through 4 off;· 1 of 4 on sequence;· 1 of 4 off sequence;· 2 of 4 on sequence;· 1 and 3 on to 2 and 4 off;· and other instances when the sequence of events is difficult to determine.However, if 52 is switched to position B while all outputs are high or all are low (which seldom occurs), the sequence stops and the outputs remain either all on or all off. If that happens, you only need to switch back to position A for at least one pulse duration, then back to position B again.Likewise, S2 should be in position A (pin 4 connected to pin 14) each time the power is turned on. This is because the data on pin 4 must be a logic 1 in order to start a sequence; otherwise all out-puts remain at logic 0, regardless of the clock pulses.Each output of the sequencing circuit is connected to an MOC3010 optoisolator/coupler (U3 through U6), which contains an infrared-emitting diode with an infrared-sensitive diac (triac driver or trigger) in close proximity. The diac triggers the triac, which carries the 117-volts ac.Each time that the infrared-emitting diode receives a logic 1, it turns on and causes the diac to conduct. With the o(Itoisolator/coup ler's internal diac conducting, the triac turns on, and power is supplied to whatever load is plugged into the corresponding ac socket. So, the sequencing circuit and the 117-V ac outputs are optically coupled and are effectively isolated from each other.Power for the sequencing circuit is provided by a 6.3-V miniature transformer. The output of the transformer is rectified by a four-diode bridge circuit, the output of which is filtered by C1 (1000-pF electrolytic capacitor). Capacitor C3 is added at the supply pin of U2 to suppress transients. (View)

For best results, the battery (D.U.T.) should be loaded with an appropriate resistor. (View)
