This circuit is an AGC system for audio-fre-quency signals. AGC systems usually consist of three parts: an amplifier, rectifier, and controlled impedance. In this circuit the functions of an ampltfier and a rectifier are performed by a single op amp. This makes the system simple and cheap.The rectifier is made with the output push-pull cascade of the op amp and RS, RL, and CB. The transistor Q1 and D1 are used as a voltage-controlled resistance (Z). The input signal is (Z + R1)/Z times, diminished by the voltage divider and 1 + R2/R1 times, amplified by the op amp. C2 eliminates influence of dc bias voltage. R3 protects Q1 and D1 from excessive current. (View)

Large LCD devices of 1 or more exhibit a large driving capacitance to the driver circuits. To solve this problem, the drive cir-cuit shown (see the figure) introduces a buffer amplifier for each of the three common lines. Each amplifier can be programmed independently for a quiescent current of 10, 100, or 1000μA. In this application, the bias network applies a voltage that sets the three quiescent currents to 100μA.The display driver and triple op amp operate between 5 V and ground, and the COM signals range from 5 V to ≈1 V. To en-sure that these signals remain within the amplifiers' common-mode range, the signals are attenuated by one-half and the buffers operate at a gain of two. The circuit drives eight 1-inch displays, and is suitable for ambient temperature variations of 15°F or Iess.At the highest expected temperature, R1 should be adjusted so that no off segments are visible.

This approach to automatic level control(ALC) make use of digitally seitched audio attenuators in the signal path. The out-put level of the system is sensed, compared to a reference, and audio pads are inserted via analog switches. This method is nearly instantaneous and eliminates the compromises necessary in conventional RC network ALC systems useing fast attack,slow-decay approaches. (View)

A block pinout diagram of the LS7220 keyless-lock IC is shown. The keypad must provide each key with a contact to a common connection. In this case, the common connection goes to the posi-tive supply rail so that when a key is pressed, a positive voltage is passed through to the wire associ-ated with that key. Each of the 12 keys are brought out to separate wires, and each wire is connected to a different pin of a 24-pin socket (SO1).To activate (unlock) the circuit, a preprogrammed four-digit access code must be entered in the proper sequence. The four-digit access code must be entered in the proper sequence. The four-digit access is programmed into the' circuit by connecting jumpers between terrrtinals of a 24-pin plug-in header.When the correct access code is entered (in the proper sequence), positive voltages appear at pins 3, 4, 5, and 6 of U1. That causes U1 to output a positive voltage at pin 13, which is fed through resistor R2 to the base of Q1, causing it to conduct. With Q1 conducting, its collector is pulled to ground potential, energizing relay K1. The normally open relay contacts close, switching on any ex-ternal device.Capacitor C2 controls the total time that the output of U1 at pin 13 is positive after the release of the first key. With avalue of 3.3 pF for C2, active time after release of the first key is about two sec-onds, assuming a 6-V supply or four seconds with a 12-V supply. Therefore, if you push the subse-quent keys too slowly, the relay might not close at all! To increase the time allotted for code entry, you will have to increase the capacitance of C2. (View)
